Bora Lula! Come on Lula! Election day in Brazil. 37 years ago we had our first free elections for a president after a decades long military dictatorship. My first vote went to Lula. Weeks after the first round, I started an internship in the rainforest and took this picture. Good luck Brazil!

It would be lovely to have natural regeneration, but basically there isn’t any natural area to regenerate from, is there? No seed banks really left or proper natural areas for seeds to disperse from. In truth, even assisted restoration will be difficult, and to what end? Silver birch forest?
