The Ugly Animal Preservation Society

Never has the saying 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' been
more true, than in nature. This week, we ponder a question: who
really decides what is beautiful? It is the creatures who do not
fit our conventional beauty standards that are taking centre
stage. We discover The Ugly Animal Preservation Society (yes, it
exists!) and its weird yet wonderful looking members. While a
little more aesthetically challenged, some of these animals are
just as endangered as their cute, cuddly and beautiful
neighbours, and deserve equal recognition. We're going to get to
the root of how our beauty standards came to be, as we
investigate the science of beauty and finally meet the man who is
pioneering innovation to reduce fashion's huge and detrimental
impact on the planet.
