    She’s an amazing artist and I think it’s true we have become more disconnected with nature but the first step of changing that is becoming aware. The outdoors are amazing.

    When I was in college in Colorado,had this fellow from New York city,had never been in a forest,or seen trees other than Central Park,which isn't a forest.
    To be there to see his emotions when I took him to the mountain forests was really cool,it was like a completely new world to him.
    The wonderment in his eyes,he almost teared up in joy,saying to me,I just never knew,thank you brother,for bringing me here....
    Take your friends,your family,take children to the forests.
    Let them see the life surrounding that without them we truly have no "soul".
    The first time you ever go into a forest,you'll get it,you'll smell it,you'll taste it in the air....

    Nirupa Rao works to make not only aesthetic but also scientifically correct illustrations of trees and plants
    I think her works could be very useful for social life, scientific research and even game development
    I wonder why trees in Minecraft don't look so accurate... Hopefully with this we can have more visually accurate trees and biomes XD (just joking)
