quests happened ten years ago I went to Ecuador to the cloud forest one of the

Ecuador to the cloud forest one of the

Ecuador to the cloud forest one of the most biodiverse places on this planet

most biodiverse places on this planet

most biodiverse places on this planet you have to go there it’s amazing to

you have to go there it’s amazing to

you have to go there it’s amazing to give you an example I was working in

give you an example I was working in

give you an example I was working in 20,000 hectares that could have a

20,000 hectares that could have a

20,000 hectares that could have a thousand species of birds all of North

thousand species of birds all of North

thousand species of birds all of North America all of North America about 600

America all of North America about 600

America all of North America about 600 that are native to North America so it’s

that are native to North America so it’s

that are native to North America so it’s amazing so I go there and I’m going to

amazing so I go there and I’m going to

amazing so I go there and I’m going to look for this bird it’s very unique to

look for this bird it’s very unique to

look for this bird it’s very unique to this area the cloud forest is its

this area the cloud forest is its

this area the cloud forest is its perfect place it’s where it should be so

perfect place it’s where it should be so

perfect place it’s where it should be so I’m excited I’ve never been there before

I’m excited I’ve never been there before

I’m excited I’ve never been there before and I’m really excited to hear it make

and I’m really excited to hear it make

and I’m really excited to hear it make this noise

so whistle after that I can whistle so

so whistle after that I can whistle so it’s really hard to miss that sound

it’s really hard to miss that sound

it’s really hard to miss that sound right it’s pretty distinct I am in this

right it’s pretty distinct I am in this

right it’s pretty distinct I am in this cloth forest for two months I go out

cloth forest for two months I go out

cloth forest for two months I go out every single day I survey I listen I do

every single day I survey I listen I do

every single day I survey I listen I do my method and I counted exactly zero

my method and I counted exactly zero

my method and I counted exactly zero white-faced on birds there was a vacuum

white-faced on birds there was a vacuum

white-faced on birds there was a vacuum in that soundscape and sometimes it’s

in that soundscape and sometimes it’s

in that soundscape and sometimes it’s exactly what we don’t hear that tells us

exactly what we don’t hear that tells us

exactly what we don’t hear that tells us the most because this bird should be

that takes me to the central core of

that takes me to the central core of where I get all the time why why isn’t

where I get all the time why why isn’t

where I get all the time why why isn’t it there in my mind I take it to the

it there in my mind I take it to the

it there in my mind I take it to the basics the three things all birds need

basics the three things all birds need

basics the three things all birds need they need a place to live they need food

they need a place to live they need food

they need a place to live they need food and they need sex we can all relate to

and they need sex we can all relate to

and they need sex we can all relate to that right pretty basic okay the place

that right pretty basic okay the place

that right pretty basic okay the place to live it’s perfect everything I see is

to live it’s perfect everything I see is

to live it’s perfect everything I see is perfect skip to the sex it doesn’t

perfect skip to the sex it doesn’t

perfect skip to the sex it doesn’t appear a lot of it’s happening because

appear a lot of it’s happening because

appear a lot of it’s happening because there aren’t any of them there so let’s

there aren’t any of them there so let’s

there aren’t any of them there so let’s take a step back and look at the food

take a step back and look at the food

take a step back and look at the food what does this bird eat okay

what does this bird eat okay

what does this bird eat okay it’s a specialist a specialist as a type

it’s a specialist a specialist as a type

it’s a specialist a specialist as a type of bird that relies on a very specific

of bird that relies on a very specific

of bird that relies on a very specific food source for example a type of algae

food source for example a type of algae

food source for example a type of algae and a stream a specific worm in a tree

and a stream a specific worm in a tree

and a stream a specific worm in a tree so this bird requires insects that live

so this bird requires insects that live

so this bird requires insects that live in native fruits fleshy fruits these

in native fruits fleshy fruits these

in native fruits fleshy fruits these insects that live inside of them and the

insects that live inside of them and the

insects that live inside of them and the bird goes into there and eats that

bird goes into there and eats that

bird goes into there and eats that insect ok so that gives me a clue to

insect ok so that gives me a clue to

insect ok so that gives me a clue to move forward and figure out what’s going

move forward and figure out what’s going

move forward and figure out what’s going on come to find out

on come to find out

on come to find out there are banana plantations on the

there are banana plantations on the

there are banana plantations on the perimeter of this forest they’re using a

perimeter of this forest they’re using a

perimeter of this forest they’re using a pesticide the pesticide is killing this

pesticide the pesticide is killing this

pesticide the pesticide is killing this insect so no food no bird right we go

insect so no food no bird right we go

insect so no food no bird right we go further and I think about this and it’s

further and I think about this and it’s

further and I think about this and it’s not just a case of a missing bird and a

not just a case of a missing bird and a

not just a case of a missing bird and a missing insect it’s a case of ecosystem

missing insect it’s a case of ecosystem

missing insect it’s a case of ecosystem health and the future of this forest

health and the future of this forest

health and the future of this forest because an ecosystem is a web everything

because an ecosystem is a web everything

because an ecosystem is a web everything is connected and you start taking a

is connected and you start taking a

is connected and you start taking a piece out and another piece out and you

piece out and another piece out and you

piece out and another piece out and you never know when the whole thing is going

never know when the whole thing is going

never know when the whole thing is going to fall apart and crumble and when I

to fall apart and crumble and when I

to fall apart and crumble and when I talked to the local banana farmers they

talked to the local banana farmers they

talked to the local banana farmers they got this they live there it’s their

got this they live there it’s their

got this they live there it’s their backyard so they were motivated they

backyard so they were motivated they

backyard so they were motivated they wanted to do something to help the

wanted to do something to help the

wanted to do something to help the forest they wanted that song to come

forest they wanted that song to come

forest they wanted that song to come back so I worked with entomologist I

back so I worked with entomologist I

back so I worked with entomologist I worked with botanist I worked with a

worked with botanist I worked with a

worked with botanist I worked with a group of people who had specialties I

group of people who had specialties I

group of people who had specialties I don’t have I have the why I figured out
