This material is very interesting and essential for all biologists no matter their profile and specialty. As we all know nature (sea, dessert, or any other) is very deeply relentlessly cute, and attractive in its appearance, and become fascinated by its "story" and origin. As we know animal and plant adaptations affect human ingenuity even though the species are protected but their coming back was not assured., despite many attempts to help. In this report, I see stunning photographs (I would call "Why not to Love") with adorable appearances, which in our days and age are a keystone of the ecosystem. As such, they present a perfect case study about the impact on the environment (including people) that depends on when species disappears and then (if) comes back. Yes, it is a "crime" as I think, and I hope you do too. I hope you enjoy this material.
