"Scientists design intelligence tests to compare other species to humans, but they tend to overlook alternative modes of knowing. For instance: could I, a human, survive for years in an urban woodlot with as few resources as a skunk? Could I travel many miles of unmarked forest and swamp to find the small hole that leads to my exact wintering den from the previous year? Are those not types of intelligence? While many things about our bodies and behaviors make us distinct from other species, it is unscientific hubris to build a hierarchy out of these traits. This hubris is what has thrust the planet and all its inhabitants into crisis." Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian, #ForestEuphoria
