“There are tens of millions of species alive today, all doing different things, all making a living in different ways. They are all fundamentally doing the same thing, which is propagating their DNA, but the ways in which they do it are undreamably various and it is immensely enriching to people's lives – it is not just an entertainment – it is something that people deserve to have, to be shown the richness, the diversity of the form of life in which they are a part. It helps people to understand why they exist in the first place. It helps people before they die to know something of the wonder and wonders of the world into which they are fortunate enough to have been born.” — Richard Dawkins, TV documentary “Seven Wonders of the World” (1997)
