Over time we can
realize that many, many
species are on the verge
of extinction, and we need
to care for them. This is
also true of pure and clean
water. It is up to us to
successfully convey and
motivate young minds the significance of preserving
life, preserving natural resources and protecting what we
have in nature against predation extinction, and depletion.
Communities around the globe, especially indigenous ones,
have engaged in environmental education and exploration
so that what we leave them is a municipality that is aware
and protected. We, each one of us, can serve as a catalyst,
to align ourselves around a common purpose. This will
enable us and them to coordinate efforts that result in
tangible investments of time and energy and money and
create a positive impact on conservation while respecting
the unique qualities and aspirations of each community in
a healthy and conscious way.
Protecting wooded areas, beaches, and coastal waters
and even lakes and rivers and enlarging sanctuary areas
can now and will have wonderful effects on all species
even and especially us as human beings who are more
conscious and concerned about the precious resources we
live with every day. Many communities in countries such as
Colombia Brazil and Peru have adopted these policies and
processes of passing the eco-centric and sustainable baton
to their young. Now, it is in our own hands to do whatever
we can to make this happen, beginning within our families
and then our community. Thank you for listening!!
