THIS!!!!! That flooded forest video is what got me to become a member instantly. You're nailed it right on the head when you said that this is the type of projects that we like to see and fund! As far as donating money to a good cause goes, this is incredible bang for buck! Thanks for your hard work, and I'm looking forward to your future videos!
How can you help East Palestine and the rest of Ohio with this train derailment chemical spill? I'm 197 miles away and it's pretty scary ... how can we fix it ?! I'm @ a loss and the people who are " cleaning" it are actually making it worse I'm afraid.
Wonderful, tell me, have you figured out how to make a perpetual growth consumption driven top down anti democratic global socioeconomic system that must double its consumption of energy and resources over every 33yr period to stave off its collapse, compatible with the immutable physics governing a finite world? When you are able to alter the laws of reality to what capitalism demands then your river project will be worth something in perpetuity, till then, its a noble effort for sure but still only a temporary one in the end as someone born as I type this is going to find out along with much of the complex life on the surface of this world as they get hammered by ever increasing temperatures as we are now warming at twice the rate we were just a decade ago, last year Europe experienced its worst droughts on record and that was under la nina, El nino is coming, and each one will be worse than the last. In case you think I am exaggerating with that rate of consumption, here is your proof: Between 1750, the beginning of industrialised capitalism and 1980 we lofted 750 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere. Then in just 40 years from 1980 to 2020, we DOUBLED IT, to 1.5 trillion tons, what it took us 230 years to loft was doubled over the next 40, and we are on course to double that again by 2060. Due to the rate of doubling in consumption global capitalism demands in order to satisfy return on investment and keep a long term global avg gdp growth rate of 3% to stave off recessions or worse, capitalism had us blow past safe ecological limits by 1990 and safe climatological limits by 1998. As for renewables? do the math with me, electric generation = only 30% of global emissions and of that only 35% comes from renewables and only about 12% of that is wind and solar, so, 12% of 35% over 40 years, = pissing in the wind compared to where humanity should have been by now if it was to have a hope in hell of adhering to what immutable physics demands of humanity to have a viable future on this finite world, wetlands or not. Planting tree's? not gonna help either, the carbon is already above ground, those tree's will die and rot and they will die a lot sooner than under natural causes due to temperature spikes and beetle and virus encroachment from warmer winters. I say all this not to say such projects as yours should not be done, they absolutely should and I applaud your efforts and your want to do some good for this world, but I say it to make sure you are fully systemically aware that unless what you do also comes bolted to demands for an end to capitalism on this world with inroads to that having been made by 2030 including noting that in such videos, then your project will fail after you are grey or departed, along with the majority of the human race and most species on this earth, what of them still remain that is given 70% of animal species and 50% of the planets phytoplankton that produces 80% of our oxygen supply has already been killed off within the last 70 years alone. The other reason is because I doubt I will be here in ten years, if I am lucky I may scratch 20 but many of them will not be good. I would very much like this world to be on a path to being better to those coming after me than it has been to me and my own, but under capitalism, there is no road to a better world no matter how much tech is thrown at it, due to the immutable physics that dictate our realities on this earth. All I can do in effort towards that is put fourth the critique as I do to as many decent knowledgeable young minds as I can, like yours. Best wishes. And have a wonderful life.
I love what you do! is there any organization you know off, that can stop any building development plans in cities so that killing in-city nature will stop? I live in Poland, Silesia, and we had a lot of nature around and currently we are left with almost nothing......... and except complaining we canot do much about it. So is there any1 outthere who can stop nature -killing and force city officials to return nature to nature?
Surprised to see my own comment in the video! I really really appreciate you guys listening to feedback. I have decided to become a member based of course on the awesome projects but also on your willingness to improve, and your openness to the community via your monthly reports. Keep up the good work!
Ha! I wondered whether we would get someone who saw their comment. Cool stuff! Glad you are happy with our work and its an honour to have you as a member! We will do our best to deliver on the rewilding impact and keep improving the comms :) - Cheers, Duarte
Thank you for the drone footage with picture of the animals which you're aiming to help, i'm not to much of an expert when it comes to nature so when you show the picture i get a better sense of what is going on, also the drone footage with the places where you're improving the habitat for species really helps to put the project in perspective.
Glad you enjoyed them! They are quite a bit of work to edit but we think they are very useful to explain things properly to our viewers. All credit to Tom Hikin, our motion graphics man for that graphic you mentioned. - Cheers, Duarte
Used to live on the harpeth river in Tennessee . Every year the river would burst its banks and flood the surrounding woodland around 2013 they put in dams to prevent the flooding. After that I remember the fishing got significantly worse with fish like gizzard shad disappearing entirely and animals like river otters being almost nonexistent
Exactly! Flooding is a very important natural process that can actually help us avoid the terrible floods which sweep away houses and such. - Cheers, Duarte
I think this project is incredible. Having the evidence that the approach is working in a close by area is very encouraging and the potential impact is huge. Opportunities like this are not easy to come by so I am very happy we are a part of it. I hope to visit the area one day and to spot those incredible Danube crested newts as well as the other interesting wildlife.
Right up to the moment that my Danish relatives have to eat imported food. Denmark is one of the most productive food producers per capita, in the world. A minor “retirement” in agricultural land has a disproportionally larger impact on production.
@larrysorenson4789 the organization I support is like restoring nature that needs help. It's not they buy up corn fields and start a Forrest. Latest they bought up 25 hectares of wet land they will restore in corporations with the county. I'm personally for animal welfare and the Danish farmers export $25 billions worth of pigs meat but still almost 25 % all pigs born die in the stables. Statistics say like 30.000 piglets die each day year round, that is completely insanity if you ask me. The farmers and government promises 8 years ago it would get better, but it has gone even worse numbers show. There is lot of cruelty in modern animal farming, I would have no problems with more farmland being converted to nature. Danmark need people in other industries, so wouldn't be a problem.
@@larsstougaard7097 went online to look up some pig statistics here. The numbers are 16 to 20% deaths. The three causes most prevalent are listed as stillborn (1in 10), crushing (momma rolls over) and starvation (prevented access to teat by other piglets in the first seven days). On an industrial scale nurturing each piglet is an impossible challenge. Were the newborns immediately removed to a safer post birth environment the crushing and mal nutrition can be avoided. Stillborn requires medical research but one article said there just was not enough room in there and so some die. If through simple husbandry the pig supply can be increased by ten percent, that industry will thrive. Lastly, the Chinese are buying up the American food production industry. I don’t think that Denmark allows this to occur. My Great, Great Grandfather was from Halles. We have close relatives in Dragor.
Another wonderful project! Two suggestions.... For those folks coming to your channel for the first time via this video, it is a bit hard to know WHERE this project is since they don't already know about your collab with BROZ. So a location pin with the actual place info at the beginning of each video would help. (Maybe that is already present on some, but I couldn't figure out where this project was until I looked up BROZ.) Second suggestion -- just for this project -- a little more of the "backstory" on how you get access to the plot of land you're rewilding in this project. Is it a conservation easement from the owner of the land? Did a local conservation organization buy the plot and you're funding their project? Inquiring minds would love to know more of the behind-the-scenes on the WHY and HOW people in the community decide to lease/sell/donate their land for these projects. Thank you so much for all you do! I am so surprised that people don't slam the subscribe button after their very first Mossy.Earth video... I was hooked after 2 minutes....
As someone working in a couple hundred acre sedge meadow in the US, this is so cool to see. Sedge meadows are so rare and harbor so many diverse and rare species. Love your work and can't wait to see more!
The land is privately owned by BROZ. I think the landowners were happy to sell the needed bits as they also want to see some nature back. - Cheers, Duarte
Absolutely love how you guys are responding to us! we really do just want more of you guys and updates on how everything is going! Thank you for all the work you guys do
Thanks Gio! We are doing our best here. Ultimately all we want is to get people together to do some very impactful projects. Having good communication and feedback is crucial for this! - Cheers, Duarte
A tyre dealership/repairer is all but assuredly the culprit of the illegal tyre dumping. They're so easily recycled too. You guys really are carving a noble path with all this rewilding.
You guys are doing what I dreamed of doing with my life. Wish I could be a part of it, but I'm happy some people are managing to get out there and do this vital work for the planet.
Hello from Florida. I cannot express how inspiring and heart filling watching these videos are. While so many videos are filled with so much sadness and madness, this is a welcome respite to the chaos I became a member last year and know that my contributions are contributing to rewinding our degraded land. As one person, the contribution does not amount to much, but with1000's of us, we can ignite meaningful change. Thank you, team Mossy Earth and fellow Mossy Earth members!
I love this idea wish we all did things like this in our own countries. Here in the U.K. I’m hoping we reforest and reintroduce wildlife. I wish you guys all the best of luck Love from the U.K. ❤
Mossy Earth where you focus on earth harmony not human superiority. I am so grateful to know that I am able to make a small monthly contribution to support your activities that promote these healthy balanced ecosystems. Thank you for what you do.
I really love all of your videos!! It’s great to see what a positive impact you’ve already made and exciting future projects you’re involved with! Keep up the great work!!
Love what you do! Keep it up :3 Im also working on building some small pond areas between a local creek. It used to run all year but they built a hospital down the road and they diverted all the water. Hoping the ponds will help keep water around longer 💜
The tires are the farmers work. Here in Denmark farmers usually just burn them. If you dont do something with the farmer next door, he will continue to dump his trash.
Thank you so much for your work. Your channel made me advocate in local politics for rewilding, and this video is a prime example of how it should be done. Keep up the great work!
I would love to see more of the scientific background behind these projects - I have little doubt they are done with good intentions in capable hands, but I would love to see more of the analysis of these areas and the planning of the procedures, how these are meant to affect the environment, the background of these ecosystems in the area and so on. Learning more behind the "why" basically.
I love the flooding that you're doing too! When I was a child watching nature documentaries with my parents, the environments that always captured me the most were those that periodically flooded. Seeing fish swim in a normally above-water area is just so alien to me, It's very beautiful and interesting.
Absolutely love the mission these guys are on, and the Mossy Earth membership makes me so happy to know I’m contributing in my own small way, keep up the great work!
When I was a kid loved playing with mud and water made me really fall in love with rain. This would be a dream to do. Super cool you are doing this wetlands are really good at taking in CO2.
I can't do nothing else than smile when i watch your amazing projects, this one in particular i so astonishig that only a madman could have thought about it.
Nice to find your site and work. I managed a river corridor through a city for 30 years. We created similar projects to revitalise the green infrastructure by using the blue infrastructure. When I left the project had developed to become an integral part of “green” flood prevention schemes, so it became a win win. I will be following you so keep up the good work.
I live by a quite nice tributary of one of England's biggest rivers, but over the years the bottom has got more and more silty, part of it is canalized and cattle have unlimited access to it. There used to be reasonable trout in it. A bit of love would see it right. Some tightening of some banks and a few tonnes of big rocks to create some scouring turbulence would make it excellent.
who owns the land? is an overflow into the river next to the land planned? how do you prervent a flooding of the field next to it? are you in contact with the neighbouring farmer? i guess i would like to learn more of the administrative site in the background of the projects you are doing... amazing work at always guys!
Love this, thanks so much guys for keeping us so well updated. Every project you do lifts my spirits and gives me more hope that humans will learn to be be less selfish and share this planet fairly with the amazing nature and biodiversity we have been given. Huge thanks.
Come to Romania and to this as well! The Danube flood plain is gone in the south of the country and in the West the old marshes have been dried up. We are waiting for you here as well!
Please do these a lot more in Africa and Asia, where your hard work and energy will bring so much changes to nature and humanity on a larger scale. Educate the locals and share the knowledge so that they can take over and you can move to another hotspot....
Great project I will look forward to see it progress. You should consider removing the plant matter that you mow. It will make a huge difference for smaller plants such as orchids. I work with nature here in Denmark and it´s something that we allways do.
Could you also go into how you handle the flooding concerning the other residents who will obviously not like flooding a field next to their fields which is used for crop production. How will they drive through the channel that you dig? Who owns the field that you are going to flood and how do you make sure that the ownee won't have a change of heart after some years and reverse everything you did? Would love a video about a deep dive into these socio-economic topics!
Hi Alex, let me answer your questions. The flooded filed as well as the parcels where the channel will be dug is owned by BROZ. The area in question that will be flooded used to be a part of an old side arm of the river Danube (a long time ago), therefore the elevation is lower than the surroundings. The amount of water that is let into the wetland can be manipulated using gates that are built upstream on the brook - that's how we ensure that no one else's fields are flooded. Hope this answers your questions! (Adriana - Mossy Earth)
What you're doing is so amazing. Your videos are so great to watch but of course what you're showing us in it is even greater. I hope the project will be a huge success we need so many more areas where nature is left alone and can thrive. It would be awesome when you'll be able to such stuff as long as possible and get the support you need therefore. I am excited to see how the project is going in the upcoming videos.
ive always been fascinated by making rivers and dams and watching water pool up and flowing lol i would create piles of leaves and sticks and block the drains and what not as a kid lol. this would probably be a fun job for me.
Smaller updates on projects even when it may seem like there isn't much to show for it are definitely really nice. I think it more accurately reflects the experience of working on a project and being part of it. Projects rarely start, go silent, and suddenly are complete. There are setbacks and little pieces of progress. Obviously I understand that with projects in so many places, this may not be very feasible, but I think it would be quite neat to share some of these small updates. The sort of thing I'm thinking about would be perhaps trying to show how some of the planted trees have grown compared to their initial footage, or how the nursery plants that will eventually be planted (thinking of the Iceland project) are developing and growing. I'm not sure how this would work with the UA-cam algorithm or what format would be best, but hopefully this can somewhat convey what I mean, hopefully echo the sentiments of other community members. I think we all want to see the little steps that make the big changes possible, not just the final presentation.
Love your videos, Duarte. I'd love to see something like this done in our homeland, Portugal. My village, Mindelo, has the oldest protected area in the country which is very degraded and an ideal candidate for such a flooding project! The small river could be diverted to the fields, it is already an amphibian hotspot, imagine if it had such an intervention!! I live in Germany now but I'd be happy to help, cheers!!
@@clauderispe8390 I missed that video, thanks! Hope one day help might come for the park near my village. We've planted some trees and cleared invasives, but I never thought of flooding it :)
Very interesting content. They you use slips and drawing to explain the projects is inspiring. Have you tried to work with schools with your projects ? It would be really interesting for a biology class, environment study class etc to be part and learn from the way you do and get live volunteering experience
It should also provide a massive sponge during heavy rainfall/flooding events, protecting the local agricultural land, especially after prolonged dry spells. It shows conservation and agriculture (can) go hand in hand and it (doesn't) have to be an either-or situation as many objectors tend to imagine.
Really glad i found you guys, you do the best things, to keep our world running and you made your videos a lot better! Great explaining, as always and nice small informations, to everything. Nice Images of the animals and nice to see something similar. Keep it up guys, if I get more money, you will get a raise, be sure.

Wonderful, tell me, have you figured out how to make a perpetual growth consumption driven top down anti democratic global socioeconomic system that must double its consumption of energy and resources over every 33yr period to stave off its collapse, compatible with the immutable physics governing a finite world?
When you are able to alter the laws of reality to what capitalism demands then your river project will be worth something in perpetuity, till then, its a noble effort for sure but still only a temporary one in the end as someone born as I type this is going to find out along with much of the complex life on the surface of this world as they get hammered by ever increasing temperatures as we are now warming at twice the rate we were just a decade ago, last year Europe experienced its worst droughts on record and that was under la nina, El nino is coming, and each one will be worse than the last.

I really love all of your videos!! It’s great to see what a positive impact you’ve already made and exciting future projects you’re involved with! Keep up the great work!!
Thank you JJ! We are also excited for the future :) - Cheers, Duarte
Love what you do! Keep it up :3
Im also working on building some small pond areas between a local creek. It used to run all year but they built a hospital down the road and they diverted all the water. Hoping the ponds will help keep water around longer 💜
Amazing! Good luck with the project! - Cheers, Duarte
I appreciate the absence of politics in all of your videos. Your focus is always on the ecosystem and nature. Thank you.
I'm glad my small monthly donations are helping such wonderful projects!
The tires are the farmers work. Here in Denmark farmers usually just burn them. If you dont do something with the farmer next door, he will continue to dump his trash.
It is so good seeing the inviroment restored in places it hasn't been in decades
I love how you continue to show the progress of each project. I hope to see more about this floodplain forest.
Wow .. 81 acres is a nice little piece of land to rehabilitate.
Thank you so much for your work. Your channel made me advocate in local politics for rewilding, and this video is a prime example of how it should be done. Keep up the great work!
I would love to see more of the scientific background behind these projects - I have little doubt they are done with good intentions in capable hands, but I would love to see more of the analysis of these areas and the planning of the procedures, how these are meant to affect the environment, the background of these ecosystems in the area and so on. Learning more behind the "why" basically.
Great work, thanks.
Bishan park in Singapore is a great example of nature and humans coexisting.
flooding is like giving the earth a bath!
I love it!
I love the flooding that you're doing too! When I was a child watching nature documentaries with my parents, the environments that always captured me the most were those that periodically flooded. Seeing fish swim in a normally above-water area is just so alien to me, It's very beautiful and interesting.
Your transparency and engagement with your audience is fantastic, keep it up!
Absolutely love the mission these guys are on, and the Mossy Earth membership makes me so happy to know I’m contributing in my own small way, keep up the great work!
Great subject. I can't help but to keep thinking about how excellent the type and style of communication is in it.
When I was a kid loved playing with mud and water made me really fall in love with rain. This would be a dream to do. Super cool you are doing this wetlands are really good at taking in CO2.
Thanks
Thanks Andrea! - Cheers, Duarte
Your work is great and very inspiring - really impressing! We are such a great tool for nature...let´s start repairing and restoring, everybody!
I can't do nothing else than smile when i watch your amazing projects, this one in particular i so astonishig that only a madman could have thought about it.
I'm a member! With a very small monthly stipend because I'm not that well off, but if we all contribute our small amounts..!
thiis project is underated we need more support to boom this project up
Proud of you the team ❤
Nice to find your site and work. I managed a river corridor through a city for 30 years. We created similar projects to revitalise the green infrastructure by using the blue infrastructure. When I left the project had developed to become an integral part of “green” flood prevention schemes, so it became a win win. I will be following you so keep up the good work.
I live by a quite nice tributary of one of England's biggest rivers, but over the years the bottom has got more and more silty, part of it is canalized and cattle have unlimited access to it. There used to be reasonable trout in it. A bit of love would see it right. Some tightening of some banks and a few tonnes of big rocks to create some scouring turbulence would make it excellent.
I love what you guys do and stand for ❤️
Man BROZ is really inovative
Indeed! - Cheers, Duarte
I truly cannot wait to see the results! To see the many frogs, tadpoles, newts, and fishes!
I love watching these videos, I always learn something new:))
I love your efforts and actions toward making the earth a better place I wish you would have a start-up like this in BC Canada.
Brilliant work from a passionate and dedicated team thank you for all the great you do from the Uk👏👏🙏🙏
Man, I wish you guys could do stuff like this in the US rather than mainly Europe. We desperately need more projects like these in the states!
We have very similar issues and projects here in the US. Thank you for sharing.
We look forward to do something in the US soon. - Cheers, Duarte
Do you know which projects? I'd like to follow along
Really looking forward to this one! The update videos will be amazing!
This is fantastic! I hope Little Danube gets a similar treatment someday
Great to be working with Broz again and can’t wait to see the progression as mapped out in the plan!
Can't wait for the next video
Should be coming sometime this Spring! - Cheers, Duarte
who owns the land? is an overflow into the river next to the land planned? how do you prervent a flooding of the field next to it? are you in contact with the neighbouring farmer? i guess i would like to learn more of the administrative site in the background of the projects you are doing... amazing work at always guys!
Great job with the measurements!! That honestly made it much easier to understand the scale of the land!
That's very nice for articically enlarging ground water reservoirs! I'm a hydrogeology student and I really like that!
Love this, thanks so much guys for keeping us so well updated. Every project you do lifts my spirits and gives me more hope that humans will learn to be be less selfish and share this planet fairly with the amazing nature and biodiversity we have been given. Huge thanks.
Come to Romania and to this as well! The Danube flood plain is gone in the south of the country and in the West the old marshes have been dried up. We are waiting for you here as well!
Excellent job. Keep up the great work. Do this all over the world 🎉🎉🎉
Please do these a lot more in Africa and Asia, where your hard work and energy will bring so much changes to nature and humanity on a larger scale. Educate the locals and share the knowledge so that they can take over and you can move to another hotspot....
Thank you for caring
Awesome. Its an honor to be a subscriber and earth loves you
Thank you my friend! It’s an honour to be able to do this work! - Cheers, Duarte
something you didnt mention, the additional flooded area also helps against flood damage because it retains water!
Exactly! - Cheers, Duarte
I love what you guys do. Amazing work. Thank you. What a great legacy you are leaving.
No skipping ads from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
You guys always brighten my day ☀️🌈
Great project I will look forward to see it progress.
You should consider removing the plant matter that you mow. It will make a huge difference for smaller plants such as orchids. I work with nature here in Denmark and it´s something that we allways do.
Could you also go into how you handle the flooding concerning the other residents who will obviously not like flooding a field next to their fields which is used for crop production. How will they drive through the channel that you dig? Who owns the field that you are going to flood and how do you make sure that the ownee won't have a change of heart after some years and reverse everything you did? Would love a video about a deep dive into these socio-economic topics!
Hi Alex, let me answer your questions. The flooded filed as well as the parcels where the channel will be dug is owned by BROZ. The area in question that will be flooded used to be a part of an old side arm of the river Danube (a long time ago), therefore the elevation is lower than the surroundings. The amount of water that is let into the wetland can be manipulated using gates that are built upstream on the brook - that's how we ensure that no one else's fields are flooded. Hope this answers your questions! (Adriana - Mossy Earth)
What you're doing is so amazing. Your videos are so great to watch but of course what you're showing us in it is even greater. I hope the project will be a huge success we need so many more areas where nature is left alone and can thrive. It would be awesome when you'll be able to such stuff as long as possible and get the support you need therefore. I am excited to see how the project is going in the upcoming videos.
Woohoo!
Really innovative work @MossyEarth. I look forward to following the development of this project
I don't think you mentioned where this is located. Thanks for your work!!
South- west part of Slovakia, Danube region.
ive always been fascinated by making rivers and dams and watching water pool up and flowing lol i would create piles of leaves and sticks and block the drains and what not as a kid lol. this would probably be a fun job for me.
Great work, guys! Always motivates me to push forward on my own small rewilding projects to see what improvements can be seen just after a short time.
Got to love Mossy Earth!
love the videos and projects! incredibly well made
Smaller updates on projects even when it may seem like there isn't much to show for it are definitely really nice. I think it more accurately reflects the experience of working on a project and being part of it. Projects rarely start, go silent, and suddenly are complete. There are setbacks and little pieces of progress.
Obviously I understand that with projects in so many places, this may not be very feasible, but I think it would be quite neat to share some of these small updates. The sort of thing I'm thinking about would be perhaps trying to show how some of the planted trees have grown compared to their initial footage, or how the nursery plants that will eventually be planted (thinking of the Iceland project) are developing and growing. I'm not sure how this would work with the UA-cam algorithm or what format would be best, but hopefully this can somewhat convey what I mean, hopefully echo the sentiments of other community members. I think we all want to see the little steps that make the big changes possible, not just the final presentation.
I really like this
I love projects like these. I'd transform everything back to nature ;)
Love your videos, Duarte. I'd love to see something like this done in our homeland, Portugal. My village, Mindelo, has the oldest protected area in the country which is very degraded and an ideal candidate for such a flooding project! The small river could be diverted to the fields, it is already an amphibian hotspot, imagine if it had such an intervention!! I live in Germany now but I'd be happy to help, cheers!!
Hi, the same group did a nice video on a restoration site in Portugal: ua-cam.com/video/R5xXR7sYBSc/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MossyEarth
Best,
Claude
@@clauderispe8390 I missed that video, thanks! Hope one day help might come for the park near my village. We've planted some trees and cleared invasives, but I never thought of flooding it :)
Very interesting content. They you use slips and drawing to explain the projects is inspiring. Have you tried to work with schools with your projects ? It would be really interesting for a biology class, environment study class etc to be part and learn from the way you do and get live volunteering experience
It should also provide a massive sponge during heavy rainfall/flooding events, protecting the local agricultural land, especially after prolonged dry spells. It shows conservation and agriculture (can) go hand in hand and it (doesn't) have to be an either-or situation as many objectors tend to imagine.
such amazing work, we love to see it! my goal is to work in rewilding/restoration :)
Nice one! I hope you will be very successful! - Cheers, Duarte
Really glad i found you guys, you do the best things, to keep our world running and you made your videos a lot better! Great explaining, as always and nice small informations, to everything. Nice Images of the animals and nice to see something similar.
Keep it up guys, if I get more money, you will get a raise, be sure.
