Page was promoted to GA recently enough. Sourcing is good and reliable. Page is long enough. QPQ is done. Hook is interesting and it's nice to have a hook about an underappreciated subject like moss. Personally I would have the hook say "that can only be found in" rather than "endemic to" just to be more approachable to laymen readers, but other than that, it all looks good to me!
