The blend of AI sensing and traditional field counting feels like the right direction: high-tech measurement, grounded in real-world ecology. More talks connecting those dots, please.

Wow. Nice story but the stars do the work for the planet not the animals … we have left our mark, however;)

Maybe this vibrancy and energy is what on a spiritual level is perceived as the Great Spirit or the soul of a place?

Are people working to restore / re-wild the islands that have been taken over by invasive species? Is there an active process making that happen?

I did a lot of what we called bush regeneration in Australia for several years… It’s very satisfying work, and you can really see the results over a period of time as the native species may adapt and take over again. All the principles of doing this work have stayed with me for the rest of my life so far….. And continually grow in my understanding of the complexities of nature !
Thank you so much for this brilliantly presented explanation of biodiversity, with clear scientific understanding , with great examples through the photos.

A forest isn’t just resources — it’s an ancient, living network of life, communication, and quiet miracles we’re only beginning to understand
