Nature is Speaking
“Mother Nature: If we lose her, we lose a stable climate”
Our food, our water, our livelihoods — they all come from nature. But we’re taking more than our share.
What’s more, we’re destroying our best defense against a changing climate — because nature itself is at the heart of the most immediate and effective solutions to curbing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing our resilience to extreme weather events.
The challenges facing nature’s oceans, rivers and forests affect us all — and saving nature is the only way to save ourselves. (Conservation.org)
