For spreading the understanding that we are all part of & partners with the rest of life, there's value in charismatic megafauna, as long as we don't let that co-opt us into *only* caring about such flagship species.

It would add something to have charismatic minifauna, and megaflora and miniflora, megafungus and minifungus. And bacteria and archaea.

(I'd add prototaxites and extinct Ediacaran life forms, but we lack enough evidence to settle on their identities/names. ;-)

'Settlers also cited the Iran war and continued missile attacks as motivations. An online page for the Shuva Yisrael Farms outpost describes its mission as being “the spearhead for activities throughout northern Samaria with the goal of seizing the lands and leaving them in Jewish hands.”'

'...burned cars and homes, attacked residents, stole herds of sheep... attacked a secondary school....attacked and burnt down a health care clinic'
