Since my basic breakdown got popular (thank you all so much!), hereā€™s a new thread to enjoy. The #Mesoamerica Influences in Costumes of #wakandaforever so spoliers ahead!! Fashion, my favorite šŸ¤©šŸ§µ1/13 Image
Starting with #Shuriā€™s fit! Namoraā€™s not wrong when she says someone of Shuriā€™s status wears highly decorated jade ornaments. Right pic of Kā€™abal, Maya ā€œwarriorā€ queen of Wak, wearing lots of jade (that I highlighted) šŸ§µ2/13 ImageImage
Layers of clothing & various color was also a sign of high status. So #Namora gets to really show it off! Her formal regalia reminds me of a cape from a Jaina Island (Campeche) figure & I even spotted her wearing a net top like one of my friendā€™s studies šŸ§µ3/13 #wakandaforever ImageImageImage

It is time! Thatā€™s right. Time to break down the #Mesoamerica Influences, not explained in detail at least, in #WakandaForeverĀ  so Spoilers in the THREAD and links to more info if I could fit it. Letā€™s Dive In, pun intended. šŸ§µā€¦ (1/17) Image
Firstly, gotta talk about the Talokanil themes. You hear Maya whistles and drums when we first meet the warriors! And that screech in Namorā€™s theme. Itā€™s a jaguar whistle. It sounds likeā€¦ wellā€¦ a Jaguar! #wakandaforever šŸ§µ (2/17)
Another instrument was the Conchshell like the one in the film. It could also have been used just to summon a crowd. I go into a but more details about this particular conch in the film šŸ§µ (3/17)

This week at #COP25, we're excited to partner with
@Global_Wildlife to promote the power of the #5GreatForests of #MesoAmerica as part of the natural solution to the #ClimateCrisis. bit.ly/2qHN6hs Image
@Global_Wildlife @CCADSICA @alianzabosques @CRMinae @CRporSiempre @MarenaNicaragua @MIAMBIENTE_HN @MiAmbientePma The #5GreatForests are being destroyed at an alarming rate. In the last 15 years, 3 have been reduced by almost 25%.

The goals of #5GreatForests Initiative include protecting over 10 mil. hectares of forest and restoring another 500,000. ImageImage
@Global_Wildlife @CCADSICA @alianzabosques @CRMinae @CRporSiempre @MarenaNicaragua @MIAMBIENTE_HN @MiAmbientePma This area provides clean air, clean water, and more to over 5 million people.

The aim of #5GreatForests is to spark a movement to protect it. More: wcs.org/5-great-forests Image

More than 5 million people depend on #Mesoamerica's 5 forests. They keep 1/2 of Mesoamerica's carbon stores locked away.

But we are losing the 5 forests.

Today, we are participating in a conversation focused on addressing the drivers of deforestation. #NatureNow #ClimateSummit ImageImage
@Global_Wildlife @Nature4Climate @radachowsky @WCSNewsroom @JoeWalston_WCS @WCS_Mesoamerica We must ...
-Address drivers of deforestation, esp. illegal cattle ranching
-Improve forest governance by strengthening management of PAs, community forests, and indigenous territories
-Improve livelihoods w/ forest-friendly and climate resilient economic alternatives #NatureNow Image
@Global_Wildlife @Nature4Climate @radachowsky @WCSNewsroom @JoeWalston_WCS @WCS_Mesoamerica @WCSAdapts Deforestation is only a part of the problem, says WCS's Tom Evans. It's also about the health of the forest.

Right now, we're speaking alongside @WWF and @UQ_News on trouble below the canopy. #NatureNow Image
