The Eternal Doorman

I think that's what it's about, but I haven't watched it yet. I have a theory that these trees are the reason that so many palms in the Amazon have such amazingly long, poisonous spines. To discourage fig-eating birds from sewing the strangler figs seed in their crowns. I'm just guessing though. Not about the toxicity and sharpness of the spines though, that is from personal experience. [I didn't know about their asynchronous fruiting and dependence on the difference species of wasps for pollination. That's a complicated control system.] See also  Mossy Earth Project in Ecuador .

Subscribe to Mossy Earth . This is good. We need a catalogue of techniques for dealing with these kinds of problems. The techniques need to include fundraising and organisational structures for management.

See the bit about  Camp Appalachian Renewal  in this post of mine:  Chris Nash's Talk About Pachamama, A Land Restoration Project in South Africa . Paul de Toirões is an important area for landscape connectivity in northwest Portugal where nature is recovering from years of mining. The 300-hectare property boasts one of the largest water surface areas in the Greater Côa Valley, consisting of lagoons, canals, and ponds. Its diverse range of environments are connected by seasonal flooding which supports a variety of wildlife and vegetation. In an area managed by our partners, Rewilding Portugal, this project presents an excellent opportunity to expand its habitats and establish a stronghold for wilderness in the region. Starting with our first intervention, we aim to enlarge and diversify the habitats through earthworks.

Maybe they're not expecting to be the government for very long?  There's a petition to sign, if you're a UK citizen:  https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/650425  it takes less than a minute to do: Prioritise the reintroduction and translocation of species Create a comprehensive national strategy for the reintroduction and translocation of species. To provide a framework that focuses on maximising environmental benefits and mitigating negative consequences of species reintroductions. To show conviction toward the ambitious targets for biodiversity and habitat restoration. To acknowledge scientific evidence that species reintroduction can play a key role habitat restoration. To build upon all existing work on species reintroduction in the UK. To acknowledge and stick with its original commitment to reintroduce species like the beaver. To acknowledge the support of the public toward rewilding and species reintroduction. See  https://www.mossy.earth/?referral=LEAVEC...
