There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Dereck Joubert: " The ‘biophilia hypothesis’ suggests that humans have an innate tendency to seek out connections with nature – a built-in affinity for the natural world. For our ancient ancestors, the hypothesis goes, being emotionally attuned to other living things carried an evolutionary advantage, allowing the more attentive among them to survive and pass on their genes to the next generation. And though there may not be agreement in the scientific community on whether biophilia does in fact exist, there are certainly moments we have all experienced when that connection seems impossible to deny.
