“That was Mahogany!!”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“You have the most lovely skin,”  Finn told her. “Like mahogany. Like the finest river loam. Could I touch it?”
“You are touching it, Casanova,”  Rita answered, eyes on the blood pressure dial. “Behave.”
“Casanova?”  Finn shot Diego a questioning glance.
“Famous lover.”
“Ah. A compliment?”
“Sarcasm.”  Please don’t make me explain sarcasm.
“Typical.”
Apparently, it wouldn’t be necessary.”
― Angel Martinez, Finn

“The Lacandones have a prophecy that the world will be destroyed when the last mahogany tree is gone. The mahogany is the 'indicator species' for the rain forest; its health or death is indicative of the health or death of the entire ecosystem. The smoke from the burning of tropical rain forests can already be seen from satellites miles above Earth.

The indigenous people of the true, original First World are preparing themselves for the final struggle. Many have nothing left to lose, only the remaining trees and land, and their children, to fight for. As the Zapatistas declared: 'We are the dead, rising to die again so our people can live once more.”
― Ralph Metzner, Green Psychology: Transforming our Relationship to the Earth
