Australia’s Wet Tropics
By headlamp, candle, and laptop monitor, field biologists process transect samples, in Australia’s wet tropics–the last shreds of rain forest (and rain forest creatures) on the Australian continent.
The species that live in this mountainous area along the northwest coast, are endemic, which means they exist nowhere else in the world: flamboyant tropical birds, lizards, frogs, possums–even a kangaroo that lives in trees.
Rising global temperatures, if they get too high, will likely drive many of these species to extinction.
I visited northeast Australia as part of an hour-long documentary on global climate change and evolution I produced for a series called the DNA Files. Listen here:

NOBODY’S SONNET
Nobody understands when I write in the dark.
When nobody writes in the dark I understand.
I write in the dark when nobody understands.
In the dark when I understand nobody writes.
I understand when nobody writes in the dark.
When I write in “nobody” the dark understands.
I understand when the dark in nobody writes.
Understand the dark in nobody when I write.
When in the dark I write nobody, understand?
I write: when in nobody, the dark understands.
When I write in the dark nobody understands.
When in nobody I understand the dark writes.
The dark nobody writes in-I understand when.
In the dark, write: when I understand nobody.
Nobody understands when I write in the dark.
Nobody understands when I write the dark in.
