Many people saw this as trivial research probably, which is true. But having the right communication tools at their disposal helps biologists like him get the message out about species threatened with extinction. For conservation biology to work, we need to be able to communicate.
The diversity of life on Earth is not fully represented in the emoji library, with only two kingdoms - plants and animals - having a significant presence. This mismatch showcases how humans perceive the natural world.
All single-cell organisms are represented by a lone, nondescript 'microbe' emoji, while tiny organisms like protists are missing. Protists play crucial roles in ecosystems, yet they are not depicted in emojis, limiting effective communication about their importance.
