A Life on Our Planet: My Witness Statement and a Vision for the Future
Connection: Planetary Wellness
How the world has changed in the last 100 years, for better or worse, and what the human world populations need to do to maintain wellness for the earth and all of its inhabitants. A lot of dire situations, but also great insight into what can be achieved in a relatively short time when humans apply themselves to creating solutions. Great examples: Costa Rica replanting 50% of deforested land and all of the species that have rebounded, tourism now main GDP. Also, Isabella Tree's "rewilded" estate in South London now most biodiverse area of land in England.
