Our enormous access to animal pictures on the internet trample down our awareness that only humans possess self awareness, language, culture, land and customs. But when does a lion stop being a lion? This publication is about the future of animals in relation to education and preservation through information we receive about them via popular images on the Internet. How are typical Nature photography categories designed by the hands of science replaced by the images of amateurs who document the disappearing surroundings of wildlife by ever expanding urbanization? As a result, do we need complete revised scientific categories for these images? For 10 years, Melanie Bonajo collected over thousands of animal pictures online and she attempts to answer these questions. This publication is Number 1 of Bonajo's publication series, Matrix Botanica, designed by Experimental Jetset and published by Capricious Publishing.
