I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquility will return once more.

The endangered kea is the world’s only alpine parrot, and one of the most intelligent birds
They show no fear of humans and are thieves and pranksters
