Part 2/12:
Fifteen years prior to the discovery, the national park was in dire straits. What was once a lush, vibrant forest had transformed into a wasteland, riddled with barren patches that bewildered visitors and perplexed ecologists. Dr. Walker recognized the dire condition of the forest and the futile traditional restoration attempts, leading her into contemplation of unconventional methods.

With conventional waste disposal methods proving ineffective, Walker saw the peels not as trash, but as a potential natural compost capable of revitalizing the soil and combating invasive grasses.
