"Local people know a lot more about how to manage tropical forests than we do,” says @petcha. “There is this incredible body of traditional knowledge and experience in this replicated experiment that they have been engaged in for thousands of years.” https://t.co/6CbTFu5RzT

"The tree mediated the social dynamics of people on the street. And what was true for one ordinary tree was then magnified thousands of times for the urban “forest”"

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter."
