Sunlight falls in narrow beams through the canopy, casting bright patterns on the forest floor.
The air is still, with only occasional bird calls breaking the silence.
Between the trunks, the beauty of an ecosystem that has fallen out of balance is revealed.
No animals are to be seen, yet their absence speaks volumes.
Quietly but clearly, humanity has left its mark here too.
