#Rainforest weiß in allen Bereichen zu gefallen. Sowohl spielerisch, optisch und haptisch. Ein sehr schönes und einfach zugängliches Familienspiel, das sich flott spielt und dabei nicht belanglos ist. Für das was es sein möchte vollkommen in Ordnung. #Brettspiele

Continued thread

The story didn’t say anything about the #Volkswagen #CattleRanch. Nor a word about the #Amazon #rainforest, where the company’s leadership had once presided over a property nearly twice the size of NYC. It sometimes seemed to Rezende as if no one still remembered what had happened there — the forced #labor & #privation, #torture & #violence, #deception & #horror But Resends did. He’d recorded it all.

Perhaps it wasn’t too late, he recalled thinking.

I had my first encounter alone with a cassowary deep in the forest. Low light. Dense canopy. That low rumbling growl you feel almost through the ground and right into your gut.

Just saw a flash of black and streak of blue and red through the vines and the disturbance. Almost like a mirage. But she saw me, and didn't want me there. Not at all.

Heard her feet on the leaf litter

She didn't need to warn me again. You do you, girl. This is your place. I'll find another way out.

(Still possible presidential veto, overturning veto, then Supreme Court battle)

#Mutualisms within light microhabitats are associated with sensory convergence in a mimetic butterfly community pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2422

"distantly related species living in the same pockets of #rainforest light have evolved remarkably similar visual systems... & butterflies that mimic each other's warning colours tend to live in the same lighting environments, likely enhancing their shared warning signal to predators"
