I'd really love to read a book with a protagonist who has passion for wildlife.
I don't care if it's marine or birds or whatever but she should be interested in learning about them and keeping them safe.
It should be the main plot of the book, not an afterthought.
Could be a romance, could be historical, as long as it fits the theme, but should be fiction.
Sadly I don't know anything that fits as an example, except "Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Fairies"… where she works with fairies lmao.
