RANO RARAKU FROM THE SEA. Title: The mystery of Easter island: the story of an expedition Author: Katherine Routledge Original publication: United Kingdom: Printed for the author by Hazell, Watson and Viney, 1919. The composition features the island’s rugged volcanic formation rising from the shore, rendered in delicate grayscale tones. Two distinct peaks dominate the center of the image: the left slope descends smoothly toward the sea, while the right peak is more sharply defined, showing vertical rock faces and shadowed ridges that emphasize its steepness and texture. The foreground suggests the calm surface of the sea, drawn in gentle horizontal strokes that contrast with the dark, angular shading of the mountainside. The sky is lightly toned, with minimal cloud detail, providing an open and atmospheric backdrop that enhances the sense of isolation and scale. https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/69807/pg69807-images.html#Page_124

From user @forkranger on TikTakTok. [continuation of post text] "... In other regions, the grasslands are overgrazed because the number of ruminants is too high. In both cases, grasslands are optimized for meat and dairy production instead of biodiversity. Our World in Data does notes that there is some uncertainty regarding 'rangeland' and how much of that is used for grazing. "Despite this uncertainty, most analyses conclude that nearly half of habitable land is used for agriculture.” The WRI also explains that one-third of all pasture used to be forest. And because the native grasslands are already in use, increased demand for beef and dairy leads to deforestation to create more pasture.
