—Chapal Bol

Chapal Bol in the jungle

"I can describe to Chapal a plant that he doesn't know the name of, and when I describe it to him he can take me right out into the middle of the forest and say 'I think I saw something that looks like that' and hand it right to me. It's amazing."
—Botanist Holly Morgan
