Imagine being on a boat with Richard Parker from Life of Pi. For the uninitiated, don’t let the innocuous name catch you off guard. Richard Parker is a Bengal tiger that has not eaten in days and most likely, mad at people for keeping it in a cage for months. Pi, rightfully, fears, respects, and learns to co-exist with the majestic creature in the fantasy tale. In our world, if we let the Tiger ironically “wander off into the woods” the metaphorical boat will sink and take entire ecosystems down with it.
