#Humboldt tirelessly sought to show the interconnectedness of the 🌎. This thought has never been stronger in me than the day I observed an improbable interaction between an orchid 🐝 and a 🐢 #yasuni #tearFeeding

Azorella cushions are one of the most fascinating inhabitants of the high Andes🏔, living over 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ years… 😱 Carol Pearson Ralph (age 4 on the picture) made pioneer studies on its ecology @Biotropica 1978 discover her story 👉🏻 shorturl.at/grQZ8 #RevivingHumboldtBook

Today I went to the mountains to look for 🐻… instead I observed a very friendly 🦔 🍊-🦵fly (Tachinidae, Eudejeania); it made my day! 😍 … and for those who prefer 🐻 👉🏻 tinyurl.com/5cn6yvv3

Views of Nature on the slope of Mt Antisana, Ecuador… 4100 m asl

Which mountain most strongly influenced Humboldt's research into the geographical distribution of plants?

Glaciers are not only physical entities whose loss impacts biodiversity & people; they are also powerful cultural symbols linked to the imaginary & philosophical dimensions of climate change 🐉🐲 Scheuchzer (1723), Willink (1892) #RevivingHumboldtBook 👉🏻 rb.gy/0j3pmv

The beautiful diademed plover, a high-altitude wetland breeder, has a small and ↘️ population, making it a victim of global changes. Its beauty could make it an effective ambassador for the conservation of its vital habitat #RevivingHumboldtBook 👉🏻 rb.gy/0j3pmv

Art-science projects are all the rage, but I know of very few that are born of a truly deep thinking on the intersection between the two worlds... listen to how Ricky Chaggar set our @PLOSONE paper to music rb.gy/hau00v #Humboldt #ClimateChange #mountains #bookExcerpt

Beyond its strong spiritual significance in the Andean cosmovision, 🦊´s generalist and nomadic behavior is a symbol of the transdisciplinarity and ‘nomadic thinking’ that characterizes #Humboldt’s work #RevivingHumboldtBook rb.gy/0j3pmv

My son using binoculars to study F. Church’s The ❤️ of the Andes @metmuseum following the original recommendation back in 1859: “Visitors are requested to bring opera glasses.” A symbolic metaphor for connecting art and science!! #RevivingHumboldtBook rb.gy/0j3pmv

"How is nature affected by climate change in the Andes? How can Humboldt help us find out?" Find the answers in this book that just came out: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…
