Happy International Day for Biological Diversity!
In my past project, I illustrated keystone species that have large impact on their ecosystems. Biodiversity isn’t just the number of species, but their relationships. Every species matters.

Irreplaceables, illustrated by me and written by Juha Kauppinen, tells how Macrotermes michaelseni termites shape the Okavango Delta. Their mounds form islands and as colonies rebuild, the landscape evolves. 150 000 islands owe much to these tiny ecosystem engineers. #SciArt
