I just had to share this, if only because it was in the FT and it's about one of my favourite literary works...

Douglas Adams and Mark Carwardine collaborated on a book about species near-extinction.
This was later televised on BBC, "Last Chance To See", with Stephen Fry taking the role of the then late Douglas.
I think you'd enjoy the book, @TallTrees - one quote from it here:

Read the quote @pgn
I read he is not firm in his thinking rightly so : we humans are not unique in the ability to learn from the experience of others - there are many species that watch their own and learn and definitely want to. I agree with his last point that's because life has become too comfortable for humans 🤔😲 😴😴😴
PS I would like to read it but I'm sure Dougy would understand that I am usually busy battling with the real world 🥺
