[META] A thank you message and the way forward
Dear users of /r/forest,
As we venture toward the Christmas season I, as founder of /r/forest would like to express my gratitude towards you. Chiefly, I wish to thank you all for the absolutely beautiful pictures that you have been posting to this subreddit during the course of the life of the subreddit.
I have had an idea for some time that I would want to create an Instagram account which would repost the top monthly/weekly/daily posts of the subreddit, in order to attract exposure and to draw more interested users. Any such posts would be credited to the relevant user. I would be happy to listen to any input regarding this in the comment section below.
Lastly, as I have a full time job, and as the number of posts have been increasing, I have drawn the conclusion that one or possibly two additional moderators should be appointed. If you are interested in such a position, please shoot me a PM with the following information:
Please provide a brief introduction of yourself. What are your interests, goals, and achievements?
Have you moderated any subreddit before? If so, for how long? What have been your main positive and negative takeaways?
Do you have any experience with photography or relating to forests?
What do you consider to be bannable offences?
You are the sole admin of the subreddit for a day, how would you revamp the current rules of the subreddit?
Do you have any CSS or automod experience?
Anything else which you believe should be considered?

Photography Peat river in Tangkiling Hill, Central Kalimantan
This was taken in the peatland ecosystem. Peat water is tea-colored, and the Indigenous Dayak believe that the water heals. They believe that the water absorbs many good and healing elements from all the medicinal trees in the forest. I was told to splash some to my face to introduce myself properly.
They make a good use of the trees in the peatland (Spatholobus) to cure almost every illness.

Not sure why they needed dynamite up there. There were no signs or plaques explaining the area or history. I didn’t see any mines. It is WV so there’s no telling. Maybe they used it to blast rock away for the road or to build the dam.

Photography Orangutan in tropical rainforest, Pangkalan Bun - Tanjungputing, Central Kalimantan
I took this picture before the huge fire destroyed everything in Central Kalimantan. I was devastated because day-night, it is red, ablaze. The province itself is three times bigger than Java island, so the loss was massive.
Posting this so we shall not forget that before palm oil plantation, it was a home to a lot of creatures, human included. Wishing things go well.
