Are any of you doing that kind of documenting,
or storytelling now?
Daltry: Yes. But more needs to be done. For
example, if you look at videos or images of
Redonda Island, you’ll see a clear transformation from what looks like a moonscape to a
lush forest full of birds within five years. That’s
phenomenally quick. But there are also lots of
stories out there that haven’t been told yet. We
need to get better at recording these things
ourselves, too, because if we document the
islands before they are restored and then after,
then you will see the island come back to life.
And that’s a great story.
