Avari concept evolution

The Avari are a shy, kind and nature loving race.

Aark is a planet they terraformed and it acts a safe haven for all sorts of carbon-oxygen based living organisms.
They save endangered species and transport them to that world. It also acts like a reserve or holiday destination for sentient space-faring species, of course making sure that nature and the environment don't get damaged.
