There is less wild nature left. Mati Kaal says that this will lead to greater conflicts between humans and animals. For example, problems arise with brown bears.
Kaal recommends preferring the use of railways. He believes that this is better than expanding highways. Railways damage nature less.
Jane Goodall was a famous animal rights activist. She died at the age of 91. Goodall said that animals have their own personalities and feelings. She dedicated her life to chimpanzees.
There are many different animals in Tallinn Zoo. For example, the chimpanzees Betty and Quincy. Quincy is smarter than Betty. He is more curious and experiments more.

Building railways and eco-ducts helps preserve nature. Eco-ducts are important for wildlife.
Mati Kaal often visits the zoo. He helps guide tours there and gives advice. He is always ready to help.
