My lifelong goal is to document all of the species under the kingdom of animalia. Obviously this goal is constantly changing due to extinctions and is overall impossible to do within a single human life time. However, as long as I live I will be working towards this goal.

I am fascinated by the amazing diversity of species and habitats Earth has to offer and I plan on exploring them all, leaving no stone unturned so to speak. Currently I am working two jobs to save for the many travels and equipment I will need to take around the globe in search of new species to me. I am also studying ecology along side this to get a useful education for my goal. Sadly this means I don't have a lot of time currently to travel and record apart from the odd family holiday but this should change in the coming years.

I like to think some day my account will showcase that even in a world where all we hear is news of mass extinctions and hopelessness, that there is countless fascinating and stunningly unique species to protect in every corner of our planet.

I only count research grade observations as that species being checked off the metaphorical list so a special thanks goes to all the identifiers who help with corrections and confirmations of my observations.
