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