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.

Govt numbers from 1963 on wards,don't know how trust worthy numbers (source) before that but 13 in 1908 to 285 in 1963 is highly impossible.Yup, even govt numbers are also not 100% true, they are just estimates, expect 0-20% error.
