  > Anyone who've been to the forest or even seen any documentary knows/hears/sees that it's also full of life All books I've read about the Amazon rainforest describe it as an extremely harsh place almost devoid of easily spotted pray or food. Anything that falls to the forest floor is consumed very quickly. There's a ton of life there, it's just ruthlessly competitive and therefore beyond easy sight. I think the Dark Forest concept fits perfectly here. We see "empty" space wherein fact life could be just behind the curtains of "self preservation".

Its about being able to blend in with the forest so no one can discover you. Once spotted you become dead, once you spot someone else in your best interest is to destroy them if you can do it without being spotted. In the books there are several civilizations, and hits that there were plenty more living in higher dimensions.
