- Summary:
- The Amazon rainforest has always fired the imagination, rich in hundreds of thousands of plant and animal species that have not yet revealed all their secrets to us. The kapok tree, repository of the founding legends of the Wayana people, majestically overlooks the canopy. It is an inhabited giant: life takes refuge there on all levels, from the folds of its buttress roots to the mazes of thorns that dot its trunk. From the forest floor to the lush canopy, the infinitely small influences the infinitely large, and interconnections play out between species in an ecosystem that is unique in the world. But at the crossroads of life, deforestation is nevertheless lurking!
