Awesome story, thanks for sharing. This was a real great example of nature conservation.
Good read, thanks for sharing.
They mine guano?
Before potassium mines and nitrogen extraction methods were discovered, bird droppings, typically from islands that were covered in mountains of the stuff, were the main source of fertilizer in the world and the main limiter of human population. Without these sources of bird poop, literally millions, potentially billions, would have died. You remember malthusianism? A fair bit of that was based on not having enough bird poop.
Huh! TIL
They mine it everywhere. They mined it in caves as well.
We’re talking about bat shit right?
Can also be bird shit. Like what the article is referring. Its an interesting read with a happy ending.
gauno refers to bird or bat droppings, in this case bird.
Very inspiring
