Ecosystem Cycles

Despite the high level of humidity, the region present a dry and a wet season. During the wet season it rains nearly constantly when the winds from the Eastern Ocean, loaded of storms, come back toward the mainland ravaging the external parts of the forest and inundating with floods its heart. In the dry season the forest looks like a paradise on earth with most birds species in the reproductive season and the vegetation that goes through their blooming phase, with colorful fruits and flowers.

The limited exploration of the area have reported the exhistence of quicksands and pocket of poisonous gasses, already in the most external part of the forest. So far, nobody has manage to come back alive from the heart of the forest.
