About the Book
When that bipod mammal we call "Man" has reached a stage of evolution next to the one we find ourselves today, he found a green earth, rich in forests and clean water oceans. The skies were filled with birds and the seas with fish, corals and plants.
A few thousands of years were enough for them to change all they had found. Like a spoilt brat that destroys its heritage and starves, so "Man" has thrived to destroy what makes him live. And so it will be until he gains conscience of the consequences of his acts.
Photographs from all around the World, from my native Portugal to my home now, Japan, from Egypt, Israel, Kenya, USA, Bonaire, India etc.
Most identified both with their English common name and their Latin, scientific one.
