Every so often you come across a book written by someone who understands.
Here's one.
The circumstances of my coming across it - or of it coming across me - are part of the story

Woke up here again today, a deep tissue off-grid massage. Heard a brown Kiwi (endangered incredible flightless bird species) call out in the night. A big sound, reverberating in the mountain valley. Morning, I met a Ruru (named 'Morepork' by European settlers) shortly after dawn. We chatted for a good 5 mins.
Big bushpigs (invasive, often dangerous introduced species) were munching on rainforest roots near the tent, fighting each other nearby. Had to scare them off to get some sleep. #aotearoa

A South Auckland high school has made a desperate plea to its community after the “devastating theft” of equipment used to maintain its food garden. #NZ #Aotearoa #Givealittle #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest
A Givealittle page set up by Manurewa High School has claimed garden equipment worth more than $11,000 was stolen from its grounds last month, affecting the school’s ability to grow food for its community.
