Neil Waters is a leading Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) researcher, who is an outspoken and passionate advocate of the extant status of this animal. He has dedicated the last 20+ years to collecting evidence of the Thylacine's continued existence, through his 'Thylacine Awareness Group of Australia' group. Only recently classified as extinct by the IUCN, the canine-like, marsupial Thylacine continues to attract interest from all over the world - a remarkable example of convergent evolution. Neil's mission in searching for proof of this animal's existence has led him on a fascinating journey, and we learn as much about Neil and his strength in adversity and passion for conservation, as we do about his steadfast belief in this animal being saved. Eyes Like Diamonds explores themes of purpose, resilience, grief, hope, and finding meaning in life's journey. Written by
