I lived in Palau for 4 years where hiking into the jungle was a regular part of the job. Never saw a spider web once. I was told, the brown tree snakes ate the birds who eat the spiders, our bird numbers are down but our spider numbers are up...

Also living in Palau and hiking as part of the job sounds AMAZING

It was! I loved that time.
For work, I was so fortunate to listen to elders share the history and oral traditions of their villages and hike to cultural sites connected to that history and those traditions.

It's wonderful that we have courses like that! It can be transformative to experience the birds and ecology of our neighboring islands as well as help us understand what we are trying to protect and save here. -
Yes it was an amazing course and it happens every few years to give the forests time to recover in-between. It opened my eyes futher to the differences. Between primary karst limestone forests on Saipan and Guåhan, there is a noticable striking difference once you enter.

In my Fa'tinas I Latte course, we did something similar. We visited and learned of latte and latte quarries in Luta, Sa'ipan, & Tini'an but also, to some degree experienced the differences between our island flora and fauna.
