The acorn woodpecker is the only bird that can eat chestnuts and acorns. These birds hide the seeds in the cracks of tree bark. Squirrels will raid the bird's hiding spots and in turn hide the seeds on the ground. Most of the seeds are eventually eaten but a few grow into large chestnut and oak trees.
Burnt Out
Burnt Out On the island of Borneo in Indonesia, fire
destroyed 30,000 square kilometers of forest. This is an area the
size of Belgium. Uncontrolled fires from oil-palm plantations
appeared to be the cause of the fire, which destroyed most of a
National park, an orangutan sanctuary and unique limestone
forests. 25 JULY 1998, P. 13
