Script x Storytelling : The principle of agroforestry is the cycling of nutrients". Green background. A forest appears. Trees, oaks, plants, a carpet of grass pop up from the green. The sounds of nature: birds sing, monkeys scream somewhere. "So, forests do not need fertilizers, they need nothing" The forest grows. More trees appear, flowers, fruits, A Toucan pass by, a snake pending from a tree. A monkey jumps from a tree coming into frame. The monkey starts eating a fruit on the tree, chewing, then poop and where the poop lands a new small tree start growing. Life is beautiful in the forest. "Why? Because they can reuse what they produce?" "Exactly. So, the plant grows, the leaf falls...", Plants become even more lush. But one - an old one - loses its vivid colors. Its leaves start falling down, on the ground. “...the branch falls, it decomposes and becomes humus, the animal dies…" We zoom on the leaves. One decomposes, falls into pieces. Ants start reducing in pieces other one the rest stays there, change color and then vanish. We zoom back. Starts raining, the monkey finds a spot under a tree branch against rain, a bolt hits the tree branch, cutting it. The branch falls down and hits the monkey on its head. The monkey falls on the ground - dead. We zoom on the monkey. It decomposes, falls into pieces . Worms start eating it, then vanish (you can see only the skull and a few bones). We zoom back. A flower is born from the place where the monkey died, then a flower pops up. Then other flowers appear. Then a plant comes up. We zoom back even more, to see the entire forest. Birds fly. A new monkey appears, eating the fruit. The concept of the cycle is complete. Life is beautiful in the forest.
