Reading The Overstory right now, which is a Man Booker winning fictional exploration into the survival mechanisms? consciousness? endangered status? of forests.
Edit: I read the title as “fractured forests are endangered wildlife”... which goes to show what this book has me thinking about.
- habosa 7y agoThat book is incredible, and still relevant to this topic! One big thing in the book is that humans don't understand the complexity of forest ecosystems and it shows when we try to change or recreate them. If we expect that we can just put a highway through a forest and not cause damage because the highway is relatively small (in surface area) we are fools.
