Each newly digitised sheet is a moment of discovery - from pressed rainforest orchids to fungi collected on 19th-century expeditions.
These records help us understand our planet's biodiversity and how it’s changing 🌍📜

What do we do?
The authors say we can’t just fight climate change, we also need to protect these forests right now.
That means stopping deforestation, helping ecosystems bounce back, and backing Indigenous stewardship.
📣 Action isn’t optional - it’s urgent.
