Very intereseting! Thanks for the link.
off-topic rant
It could’ve been an awesome video if it weren’t for the painful (to me) constant hyper-hyped tone of voice and music. I understand that some dramatisation is good for video production, but this was too much. If you highlight everything, you are not highlighting anything.
Yeah, they can be a bit entertain-y/drama-y at times, but they also have some good videos that are more about regular exploring/conservation work every now and then. As long as it gets people interested in the subject I personally don’t mind too much.
