The prologue introduces Miranda León, an aging author and environmentalist trekking through a dense Colombian jungle with her guide Gilberto. She reflects on humanity's destructive impact on nature and her ambitious goal to inspire hope and wonder through her writing, aiming to shift perspectives on environmental conservation. Despite physical hardship and the oppressive heat, Miranda is determined to capture the profound beauty of the forest and convey it to readers as a means to foster ecological awareness and optimism.
