One of the works I´m more proud of, because of his simplicity and magic.
The mimesys with the images and nature was tremendous, and this together with the tremendous working pressure of those days (sometimes a 50 minutes chapter a week), made Gods to help me telling more with less. A big learning.

The aggressive actions of men on the environment have endangered the biodiversity of the world which seemed inexhaustible.
Ecosystems are being lost, oceans overexploited, species exterminated...

However, in the midst of so much discouraging news, there
are also actions filled with hope being taken by people and institutions who are unwilling to resign themselves and who, day by day, achieve extraordinary success in caring for and preserving nature.
