Since my basic breakdown got popular (thank you all so much!), hereās a new thread to enjoy. The #Mesoamerica Influences in Costumes of #wakandaforever so spoliers ahead!! Fashion, my favorite š¤©š§µ1/13 
Starting with #Shuriās fit! Namoraās not wrong when she says someone of Shuriās status wears highly decorated jade ornaments. Right pic of Kāabal, Maya āwarriorā queen of Wak, wearing lots of jade (that I highlighted) š§µ2/13
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 friendās studies š§µ3/13 #wakandaforever
It is time! Thatās 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. Letās Dive In, pun intended. š§µā¦ (1/17)
Firstly, gotta talk about the Talokanil themes. You hear Maya whistles and drums when we first meet the warriors! And that screech in Namorās theme. Itās a jaguar whistle. It sounds likeā¦ wellā¦ a Jaguar! #wakandaforever š§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 š§µ (3/17)
This week at #COP25, we're excited to partner with

@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.

@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

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

@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

@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.
