Wohlleben is... not uncontroversial

"Arboreality is often much uglier than Wohlleben lets on. Black walnuts poison other plants with a natural herbicide called juglone; some eucalyptus trees continually shed their oily bark, fuelling fires that immolate their competitors; various species of fig tree plant themselves high in the branches of other trees, then slowly creep downward, either strangling the host tree or splitting it apart."

Plants have some sight apparently

Maybe not seeing but whatever they're doing is pretty cool (abt the leaf-mimicking study)

REVIEW: ‘Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning’ by Nigel Biggar

 https://freebeacon.com/culture/the-upsides-of-empire/

I think this is saying "because Britain was good as well as bad in its colonialism, colonialism & imperialism are both good and bad". 

The part of Britain that was imperialistic and colonialist (in their true senses) was evil, but that was not all of Britain.

That blessed tempering doesn't change the spirit of imperialism and colonialism.
