Ecuador: Impressions of the Rainforest explores the niches of life in the Ecuadorean rainforests and the natural forces which define them: ‘water’ in chapter 1, Rain and the Forest; ‘light’ in chapter 2, Life in the Canopy; ‘nutrients’ in chapter 3, The Forest Floor; and finally ‘life itself’ in Chapter 4, Deep in the Rainforest. Each offers the merest impression of what it is to live, grow, hunt, feed, court, breed, fight and die in the rainforest, and of how the rainforest itself completely shapes the lives of the plants and animals it comprises.
The book is the product of two weeks spent working with conservation scientists from Operation Wallacea in the summer of 2014. It can be viewed below (where it is best to click 'view fullscreen') and can be bought in hard copy from the Blurb store.
