When I arrived to film in Ecuador it took me a long time to overcome my ‘plant guilt’.
On occasion, when walking on jungle paths, we had to trample and machete our way through sections of the undergrowth that had become overgrown. I felt bad about destroying the plants but was reassured by my guide that we were not denuding the vegetation and that the plants would grow back quickly in the tropical climate.
