The age of discovery isn't over yet, indeed!
Though dangerous, i so want to be a part of ecotourism treks and also discover never-before-seen creatures on my own...and probably name one after me! hahahha, it isn't bad to be daydreaming about it, right?

Anyways, imagine, out of about 14 million species of plants and animals in the world, we only have discovered less than 15% of them...and yet some of them are already becoming endangered. Albeit we still have more to dig upon, it isn't ecologically justifiable to nudge the thought of saving them from total extinction. Remember, there aren't more of their kind and it would be such a pity for our generation to be heralded as passively unresponsive and uncaring towards our slowly degrading ecosystem. How can we truly appreciate the marvels of biodiversity if we can just see them through pictures and videos because we have not done enough to save them?

Apart from the wonder they bring to discoverers and environmentalists, we may never know that some of their possible medicinal properties might bring upon remedy, or if fortunate enough, cure to diseases such as cancer. Though of course, extensive researches and studies are needed to come up with those.

But, oh my! I do want to look at those See-Through Frogs, Alien Salamanders, and Spiny Bugs so that if ever, just when the worst case scenarios come, they become extinct, i might as well just tell the story to my grandchildren, ehe! God forbid.
