10 years ago, there was only a single 'leathceann' (windswept) birch tree in the foreground.
Now, there's a full-on exploding diverse native rainforest, none of which was planted. All it took was fencing out sheep.

I have now been a journalist for 40 years. The forces ranged against my profession have never been so powerful | George Monbiot
Once, I believed that humanity’s problem was an information deficit. Now, I know you can’t speak truth to power if power controls your words, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The last 48 hours have been surreal here in Kathmandu! Nepal’s youth recently started a viral online campaign exposing and targeting corrupt politicians & their children’s lavish lifestyles while the rest were struggling! Rattled, they tried banning social media altogether and all hell broke loose!
Protestors in Nepal overthrew the government in less than 48 hours due to corruption. They refused a curfew, spread protests across all cities, fought police in roaming street battles, burnt down politicians' houses, stole military weapons, stormed the parliament & burnt it, forced the PM to resign.
