Espectacular, he aprendido mil cosas, el océano que te cuentan estos dos señores me ha hecho llorar porque te da toda la esperanza que una ecologista necesita (casi).

Y los dibujos y fotografías son muy bonitos.

Y el papel te da ganas de acariciarlo a cada página (y lo he hecho).

Excelente.
Muito interessante o tema e o conteúdo da mensagem que nos deixa sobre a degradação continua dos Oceanos.

É pena de quem manda no Mundo não estejam preocupados com as próximas gerações.
