"Gold" (mushroom) is born from "dropping" (cat litter) -- quite a dramatic emergence.

From many years of study: (on forest regeneration) fungi (micro flora) should be the first 'medicine' to heal cleared and burned forests by retaining moisture, followed by ground cover plants to add mulch (organic materials), then hardy fruit trees to attract bird. bees and other animals into the area. They bring in and spread out more micro flora and fauna to further improve the soil and inhabitants, and further attract more inhabitants (like cities attract people and businesses) thus encourage competition and diversifaction. (Theoretically) after a while (when other environmental factors permit), forests become 'sufficient' and live on to grow more forests. One medium of growth is (as we guess it) "dung"!

Perhaps the development model for ป่าอภัยทาน is already in the same way. We should hope to see not just a sanctuary for 'selected animals' but a destination for wildlife immigrants or refugees very soon ;-)
