While we rested in this spot, the monks were called to prayer by the ringing
of a wooden gong clearly heard from this quiet and remote space.

"Certainly, one option should always be, what happens if we just let it alone and let it resort to its fully natural state? A forest left alone and allowed over time to become something approximating what was here before settlement is the best of all possible worlds." - Bob Irwin, Conservation Director, World Wildlife Fund
