Massive figs show their buttress roots across the wetlands of the Daintree rainforest, in the Wet Tropics, near the aboriginal community of Wujal Wujal, Queensland, Australia, July 2023. This species was used by local Aboriginal peoples to make shields, and the coastal mangrove habitat was maintained using cultural fire.
