\u201cWhateverTree\u201d tells the story of how a dead tree becomes an online viral meme and selfie destination. It also describes how the \u201cwildlife tree\u201d is home to fungi, insects and other creatures, performing a unique role in the forest ecosystem. Louise observes and records wildlife with her smartphone, representing E.O. Wilson\u2019s \u201cbiophilia\u201d hypothesis – that humans innately seek connections with nature. In contrast, Logan takes a selfie in front of the tree, vainly proclaiming human dominance. Consumed by their screens, Logan\u2019s followers are ambivalent to the wonders of nature. Indifferent to both human narcissism and conservation efforts, the tree falls, returning nutrients to the soil and renewing the forest.<\/p>
