Atlantic Forest which stretches from North East Brazil down the East coast to Paraguay and Argentina used to be brimming over with lives. But, over the years, it was deforested for expanding cities, developing farms, and road projects, and it ended up having 2% forest. Now there’s only a fraction of it remaining. Laury Cullen, a philanthropic conservationist in Brazil, has been spending his life restoring it. He saw his country losing its lush forest and the ability to disperse. Limited habitat resulted in inbreeding depression problems. The population including ocelots and lion tamarins decreased. So, He and his team planned to reforest corridors so that they could act as express highways between isolated fragments. To date, they’ve put back 3000 hectares of forests, and half of the species are using it for themselves.
+) A twisted and talented teen in Georgia made a roller coaster using sandbags, PVC pipes 2x4s, and cinder blocks in his parent’s yard. If you want to ride on it, you should steel yourself because after it goes down, it coasts uphill fast. It must have marred his parents’ yard, ‘cause his mom wants to get her yard back.
