Selva de Irati, Navarra, España.
El bosque o la selva de Irati (Iratiko oihana en euskera) es un bosque repartido entre el norte de Navarra (España) y los Pirineos Atlánticos (Sola y Baja Navarra) en el suroeste de Francia.
Por su parte española está situada en el valle del río Irati, entre los montes de Orzanzurieta y Roncesvalles al oeste, y el monte Orhi al este. El límite sur lo pone la imponente mole de la Sierra de Abodi. Los principales accesos son por el oeste por Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) y por el este por Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).
Se trata de la mayor masa forestal de Navarra y uno de los mayores y mejor conservados bosques de hayas (Fagus sylvatica) y abetos (Abies alba) de toda Europa. A pesar de ser un bosque explotado forestalmente desde los siglos XVI-XVII, el respeto y el buen hacer de los habitantes de estos valles ha hecho que se conserve en total plenitud. Existen dentro de la zona diversos espacios protegidos: todo el Irati es una ZEPA (Zona de Especial Protección de Aves), así como zonas protegidas como Reserva Natural o Reserva Integral del total de 17.000 ha del bosque.
La Selva de Irati es conocida por ser el segundo hayedo-abetal más extenso de Europa (sólo superado por la Selva Negra de Alemania), con 17.179 ha. En el hayedo predomina esta misma especie, el haya común, pero también aparecen salpicadas multitud de especies asociadas a la elevada humedad y al sotobosque tales como el abedul, el tejo, el acebo, el arce, el tilo o el serbal. La otra especie destacada de la Selva de Irati es una conífera: el abeto blanco, el cual forma bosques mixtos con el haya en las zonas bajas y es más predominante en las zonas altas y en las laderas de umbría.
Las cara sur de muchas de las estribaciones montañosas están salpicadas de otro árbol hoy con manchas de extensión mucho más pequeñas de la que tuvo antiguamente, el roble pubescente.
En 2015, el descubrimiento de una planta carnívora, la Drosera Rotundifolia y el Eriophorum Angustifolium, un tipo de junco lanudo, valió a la Selva de Irati la inclusión en un programa de protección a nivel europeo.
Además de los bosques, Irati contiene una gran riqueza faunística, donde destacan los ciervos (Cervus elaphus), cuyo celo o berrea puede disfrutarse en otoño, los corzos y los jabalíes. También es común el lirón gris, la marta, la nutria, el desmán de los Pirineos y el musgaño patiblanco.
Existen numerosas especies de aves, de las que algunas son especies en peligro de extinción que encuentran aquí uno de sus últimos reductos, como los pájaros carpinteros, pito negro (Dryocopus martius) y pico dorsiblanco (Dendrocopos leucotos), entre otras. Entre las rapaces, podríamos destacar el quebrantahuesos, el halcón peregrino o el águila real
Irati contiene además varios endemismos pirenaicos tanto de flora como de fauna, como el tritón pirenaico (Calotriton asper).
The Irati forest or jungle (Iratiko oihana in Basque) is a forest distributed between the north of Navarra (Spain) and the Atlantic Pyrenees (Sola and Lower Navarra) in southwestern France.
For its Spanish part, it is located in the valley of the Irati river, between the Orzanzurieta and Roncesvalles mountains to the west, and the Orhi mountain to the east. The southern limit is set by the imposing mass of the Sierra de Abodi. The main accesses are to the west through Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) and to the east through Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).
It is the largest forest mass in Navarra and one of the largest and best preserved beech (Fagus sylvatica) and fir (Abies alba) forests in all of Europe. Despite being a forest exploited from the forest since the 16th-17th centuries, the respect and good work of the inhabitants of these valleys has made it fully preserved. There are several protected areas within the area: the entire Irati is a ZEPA (Special Bird Protection Area), as well as protected areas such as Natural Reserve or Integral Reserve of the total 17,000 ha of the forest.
The Irati Forest is known for being the second largest beech-fir forest in Europe (only surpassed by the Black Forest of Germany), with 17,179 ha. In the beech forest this same species predominates, the common beech, but there are also dotted a multitude of species associated with high humidity and the undergrowth such as birch, yew, holly, maple, linden or rowan. The other outstanding species of the Selva de Irati is a conifer: the white fir, which forms mixed forests with beech in the low areas and is more predominant in the high areas and on the shady slopes.
The south faces of many of the mountain foothills are dotted with another tree today with much smaller patches of extension than it once was, the downy oak.
In 2015, the discovery of a carnivorous plant, Drosera Rotundifolia and Eriophorum Angustifolium, a type of woolly reed, earned the Irati Forest inclusion in a protection program at European level.
In addition to the forests, Irati contains a great wealth of fauna, where deer (Cervus elaphus) stand out, whose rut or bellowing can be enjoyed in autumn, roe deer and wild boar. The gray dormouse, marten, otter, Pyrenean desman and whiteleg musgaño are also common.
There are numerous species of birds, some of which are endangered species that find here one of their last strongholds, such as woodpeckers, black woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) and white-backed beak (Dendrocopos leucotos), among others. Among the birds of prey, we could highlight the bearded vulture, the peregrine falcon or the golden eagle
Irati also contains several Pyrenean endemisms of both flora and fauna, such as the Pyrenean newt (Calotriton asper).
Domenichino: Why you did that shit to my painting, Kara? It’s Santa Cecilia in there, not Cecilia Gimenez!
Kara: Your fault, all characters seem to be holding something invisible, on the original fresco. And the XS is out now, so…
Domenichino: XS? The iPhone? I wish I had one back then…
Kara: Yes. If the iPhone had been born in the baroque era, we would now have the iPhone 404. Can you imagine? The 404K iHologram screen, the mind-guided navigation or iMind, the amazing iScent olfactory apps, the iDream partnership with Netflix iDD (inductive dream division)?
Domenichino: The iCure, maybe?
Kara: Yes, with new programs to fight the hemorrhoids plague and finger callosities. Can you just imagine an iScent ready SL viewer app with hologram projection capability?
Domenichino: The iClaw magnetic back scratcher? XS, you’re soooo History already!
Kara: Speaking on History…On the other hand, Africa would be an immense Cobalt mine hole and Asia a huge Cadmium mountain…
Domenichino: Oh…cazzo…but then…
Kara: Do not worry, Domenichino. Look at Cupertino! They have 100 percent renewable energy and besides, there’s still the fabulous GiveBack trade in program that, as they announce: “can turn into something good for you and good for the planet.”
Domenichino: Mamma mia! So the 404 will renew itself into something good for the planet? ARTICHOKES?
Kara: Or Artic chokes…
Domenichino: But tell me…what did you use in that image, aside from the copy of my “St. Cecilia Distributing Alms”?
Kara: There’s a costume from *Goddess Apparel* called “Renaissance Jester Bright” and a pose from K&S called ~No problem~.

The green colour of the water is due to seasonally low water flows in the Colorado River.
Presumably the eutrification of the water is not helped by fertilizer inflows from human settlements and farms along the river's course.
