Reading Time: < 1 minute

Takeaways:

  • Even vanilla farms on land previously cleared to raise other crops offered enough tree coverage to attract more species than land left uncultivated.
  • Farmers could plant more vines and harvest more vanilla pods without harming the number of species found there.
