Lunching amidst lush forest and watching indigenous species of avian noise makers fly overhead. Toucans, some sort of pea hens, multiple song bird species completed the spectacle. Iguanas and a lonel...
Such missions should be outsourced to India, where a few dishum dishums is all it takes..much cheaper than blowing up half the world to save the other half.
