The Guiana Space Center is located in the northwest of Kourou, in French Guiana. It is surrounded by 700 Km² (270 square mile) of natural Park.
The industrial installations built for the rocket launches are currently occupying natural spaces, destroying habitats. The combustion cloud emitted at the time of take-off burns the vegetation around it, and has an impact on the environment for more than 1 km around (0.6 mile).
On the other hand, the space center protects its inhabitants. There is indeed a preserved area around the site where hunting is prohibited. There are around fifty terrestrial species, more than four hundred birds and a hundred fish
For this scene, I wanted to represent something that may have already happened: a monkey has accommodated to one of the most unusual and spectacular things that civilization has created, that may be protecting him right now.
