Clan : Shartak Deforestation Movement

Are you sick and tired of wandering around lost in the jungle being eaten by tigers and that $&%#ing python? We got you fam.

The jungle has to go. Habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, erosion, species extinction and total ecosystem collapse be damned.

Need to rationalize this stupid, senseless project? Here's a few hard truths.
Fact: Tigers and pythons eat people, tigers and pythons live in the jungle. No more jungle, no more tigers and pythons.
Fact: People get lost in the jungle. No more jungle, no more getting lost.
Fact: Ecosystem shift drives advantageous mutation selection.

Wait what? We're doing real science stuff, probably! Darwinian forces baybey! You see, if we create a new ecosystem (such as a barren, stump strewn patch of tropical regret), something will evolve to fill it. Remember those shargles? They didn't suddenly appear at the whim of some bored creator, they evolved to take advantage of an open ecological niche. Likewise, replacing biodiverse pristine jungle with a gully-ridden desertified hellscape will eventually spawn the majestic Shartak Desert Tortoise.

Darwin just needs a little help to make the magic happen.

Those trees aren't cutting themselves down so we need _your_ help. Volunteers of all races, professions and mental capacity report to an empty swath of mud and stumps moving slowly across the island. You're going to need several machetes (or cutlasses if you're feeling trendy) a sharpening stone and a packed lunch. First aid kits and healing herbs are recommended, things can get dicey out here. The vines are tough, and we have some simple minded, backwards thinking opposition.

The Swath moves! The python shall fall! The tortoise shell rise!
