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.
A dynamic header with let's say 3-5 theme's would also look nice, if after every (or every few) click's the header would change.
Same about the sideline background.
About the paragraphs:
I find the second one more appetizing, like the description of an thrilling book.
Only this sentence "Here, wild creatures will speak and here they will be heard and respected." is probably a bit too much fictional, something like "here, wild creatures will be introduced and here they will be respected..." sounds more realistic.
On the other hand, it has some originality, perhaps it shouldn't be changed.
