Bali's green doesn't stop. It climbs walls, covers paths, and swallows whole villages.

Mutilation of the tree of life
"Tropical forest loss doubled in 2024, reaching the highest level recorded in two decades...Like tropical forests all over the world, it has been steadily shrinking, with at least 15% lost to logging, mining and cattle ranching in two decades."
"Low-cost tech and joined-up funding have reduced illegal logging, mining and poaching."

A long-term experiment reveals tropical forests in Panama are able to adapt to droughts, but scientists warn this short-term "rescue strategy" is unlikely to save them from the impacts of climate change.

Tropical forest (Ecosystems 🏞️)
Tropical forests are forested ecoregions with tropical climates – that is, land areas approximately bounded by the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, but possibly affected by other factors such as prevailing winds. Some tropical forest types are difficult to categorize. While forests in temperate areas are readily categorized on ...

What began as a search for a rare parrot became a hike through tropical green, full of guavas, old friendships, and quiet epiphanies. On the Cumberland Trail in St. Vincent, the forest didn’t give me the perfect bird photo. It gave me something better.

How #war is waged on Brazil's most deforested #Indigenous territory
https://sumauma.com/en/como-se-fez-guerra-na-terra-indigena-mais-desmatada-do-brasil/
> In just thirty-five years, the Apyterewa-Parakanã peoples have seen their #territory invaded, the #forest cut down for illegal mahogany, and the conversion of this area to #pastureland for 60,000 head of #cattle – the on-going expulsion of the #invaders will indicate the fate of the #Amazon

Making extreme climate events: "Everything is parched. The vegetation crunches underfoot. "The tropical rainforest is very close to the point of no return."
"The beef industry is the biggest driver of Amazon deforestation. Nothing else comes close. Land-grabbers use cows as occupying armies to strengthen their claims on stolen and cleared forest. This has become one of the world’s most heinous climate crimes."
"The Amazon cannot endure unless cows are replaced by trees, dust by plants, and smoke by rain."https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/06/aggressive-deforestation-has-led-to-one-of-the-amazons-worst-droughts

Tropical forests could become so hot that some kinds of leaves will no longer be able to conduct photosynthesis, study
“If we adopt a do-nothing response to climate change and tropical forest air temperatures increase by greater than 4C, there could be massive leaf death, possible tree mortality and species turnover across all tropical forests."
"At least 50% of global CO2 exchange occurs through forest canopies, which act as key regulators of our climate."

Beauty, at times, comes in really small doses... as this feisty little iridescent jumping #spider, small as a dewdrop, briskly demonstrates.

All #trees inspire wonder, but there's an additional element in tropical #rainforest emergents like this one that is humbling and exalting, at once. In their presence you're transfixed and, at least momentarily, aware beyond yourself, transformed.
