Hi,
Wouldn't it be fantastic if they survive yet! However I fear that's the same as seeing aliens land.
It was in this mood I recently read Julia Leigh's "The Hunter" (also a good film starring Willem Dafoe), a novel about a man sent to hunt a (possibly the last) wild thylacine. It is set in just-recent times, and the theme seems to be on the intrusion of the outside, technical, commercial world into the preserved stillness of the remote Tasmanian wilderness.
I found it saddening and plausible, just as we should today.
Thanks
