Fortuitous #0.1

I have been meaning to do this for a couple years now. So OK. Lets start. It’s not going to be pretty. It’s not going to be funny. It’s going to be. And that’s ok.

What is this? Just some stuff I think is interesting. Some of it might be for you too. The idea is to share and perhaps have some interesting chats along the way. Lets see how it goes.

Basically there will be a short intro to a few articles with links to the full article.

The Amazonian Travels of Richard Evans Schultes

Article note: Richard Evans Schultes – ethnobotanist, taxonomist, writer and photographer – is regarded as one of the most important plant explorers of the 20th century. In December 1941, Schultes entered the Amazon rainforest on a mission to study how indigenous peoples used plants for medicinal, ritual and practical purposes. He went on to spend over a decade immersed in near-continuous fieldwork, collecting more than 24,000 species of plants including some 300 species new to science. In this interactive map journal, retrace Schultes’ extraordinary adventures and experience the thrill of scientific exploration and discovery. Through a series of interactive maps, explore the magical landscapes and indigenous cultures of the Amazon Rainforest, presented through the lens of Schultes’ vivid photography and ethnobotanical research.
