The late, great, possibly most human of humans, Terry Pratchett, had so much to say about just such a species that Truckers, Diggers, and Wings, the Nome Trilogy, is also known as the Bromeliad Trilogy.

If you haven’t read it, do so… then go spend your life fighting to preserve beautiful things in the world.
