32. Community
No life exists in isolation, we’re all part of a vast and complicated web. The gum tree, for example, exists not just because of a desire to live, but as a result of a complex and often invisible network of fungal, microbial and animal support systems. Like all living things – moss, caterpillars, and people – the gum tree is part of a community. It wouldn’t exist if it weren’t. Neither would we.
