There are some species here who as grim as it sounds, would require a small miracle to survive because the numbers are too low to rationally continue to exist, Vaquita being one such example. Millions of years of evolution has occurred and humans are in danger of ruining it through desperation for financial gain or greed. When you dig into a lot of research around this topic, it’s not long before you see the real darkness that is going on. The Kakapo was almost completely wiped out through this introduction and fights on today because of this catastrophic lack of judgement. Unfortunately - and as is the case with most of the species showcased here - humans began easily hunting upon encroaching their range, then introduced the stoat and other forms of pest control for other species. Take for example the Kakapo, an animal which evolved without natural predators and thus didn’t require instincts to defend itself. Many of them evolved in a particular way which makes them evolutionarily distinct. These 30 animals have been chosen for their differences, so that we can learn about species we didn't know about previously as well as the struggles they have surviving. The collection is a celebration of genic diversity and an attempting reminder of the beauty we are on the verge of losing as every moment passes.
