Nature is speaking

[GLG]

Nature doesn’t need people. People need nature.
　
Human beings are part of nature.
Nature is not dependent on human beings to exist.
Human beings, on the other hand, are totally
dependent on nature to exist.
The growing number of people on the planet
and how we live here is going to determine the future of nature.
And the future of us.
Nature will go on, no matter what.
It will evolve.
The question is, will it be with us or without us?
If nature could talk, it would probably say it doesn’t much matter either way.
We must understand there are aspects of how our planet evolves
that are totally out of our control.
But there are things that we can manage,
control and do responsibly that will allow us
and the planet to evolve together.
We are Conservation International and we need
your help. Our movement is dedicated to managing
those things we can control. Better.
Country by country.
Business by business.
Human by human.
We are not about us vs. them.
It doesn’t matter if you’re an American,
a Canadian
or a Papua New Guinean.
You don’t even have to be particularly fond of the ocean
or have a soft spot for elephants.
This is simply about all of us coming together
to do what needs to be done.
Because if we don’t, nature will continue to evolve. Without us.


Here’s to the future. With humans.

People are part of nature, not above it. We need to be reminded of this when we become smug and selfish.

A fitting video I think....

Very good,GLG.Makes me sick to think of all the harm we have done to our beautiful planet.Somehow,some way we have
to pull our heads out of our asses and start giving back to it instead of take take take.If we don't,our days are surely numbered and like the video says,nature will go on with or without us.It's our choice.

 

[Sangstercraft]

I wonder if it might be useful if we started a thread: what can we do to ensure fisheries for the future? Everyone here can contribute actionable ideas. Personally I feel much more optimistic about the future if I do just one small thing, and it encourages me to do more. Like pick up trash along the river or islands when I'm fishing the spot, or writing DFO about aquaculture problems, etc.

 

[Gunsmith]

Lets all point the finger but please not at ourselves, eh? We are all part of this madhouse and in some way or other we contribute to it. What have we done to slow down or stop this?

 

[GLG]

We only lack leadership...
