If any of you reading this haven’t watched BBC’s documentary video series titled Planet Earth with narrative contributions from the remarkable Sir David Attenborrough, and One Life- an abridged summary version of Planet Earth documentary series, I recommend it for you to do so. By presenting the amazing deeds and inspiring personalities of the animal world, in the end, it entangles to pull out any of your leftover human arrogance, if there be, forcing you to question the business as usual scenario prevailing amongst the supposedly dominant species of the planet – Homo sapiens.
Let me put in quotes the closing remarks from narrator Daniel Craig here in One Life. Wrapping the show with an amazing story of a humpback whale’s motherhood, he goes on saying “… her whole story, her whole life, has brought her to this moment. Every living thing on our planet shares the same desire - not just to live but to foster new life. And we no different - we see so much of us in them and them in us - whether it’s intelligence or ingenuity, strength, grace or determination, courage, even love. Their lives, our lives, all life on earth will be richer if we choose to remember everything we have in common, to remember we share ONE PLANET, ONE FUTURE.”
Moving enough by itself, let me please include the plight of the poor, marginalized and indigenous people of the world in my call as we also are amongst the forgotten segments of life on the planet affected by the looming climate doom putting our livelihoods, biodiversity and the environment we all look up to in question at all dimensions. Worse so, our system is trying to imitate the western gruesome philosophy of development for a downward spiraling effect.
The question: how many of us have really chosen to remember? Or how many of us have chosen the selfish, apathetic, self & mass destructive way? We’re hurting the planet; we’re wounding its life source and to those who still have human arrogance lingering in them, let me put it in your way- you are also being victimized. Not so smart after all. How can this be said smart? If we observe more deeply, other forms of lives on the planet perceptibly don’t lack the destructive effect we have for it’s the easiest one can do, but they simply have outsmarted us – by choosing not to forget living in harmony with the planet and caring for the future we all share.
Accept it! We have a lot to learn from them. On the other hand, humanity by now is at a point of moving towards a new phase of morality – against inequality, slavery, racism or other forms of discrimination and even species-ism. All forms of life on the planet either us-the culprits or those victimized, are hurting by the global consequences of the continued destruction of ecosystems and the fossil fuel derived system. Don’t you think supporting this mass destructive system would be putting us on the hypocrites’ side? Here’s the thing: Let’s take it from the bottom up, from the base of all ill deeds and the most urgent ones– Climate Change & Loss of Biodiversity (Ecosystem Destruction) which one way or the other interlinked.
Let’s join for unified action against Habitat Loss & Climate Change and find the silver lining there helping us push for more action towards the most sensible way, to a new paradigm in our lost quality – morality in everything we do and letting others’ decide their own way of helping themselves sustainably. Don’t let politicians just negotiate on us & on all life. There’s no such game of negotiation on this. What we need is only swift decision to actions. Actions that will lead us back in harmony with the universal law governing us all– the laws of NATURE that our trustworthy mentors (other forms of lives) are strictly following. We also shall not completely buy into the idea of adaptation in negotiations in the name of the innocents that can’t be able to adapt-biodiversity and we as concerned citizens of our planet can’t give up easily by accepting half justice unless in its entirety.
So who else is going to take the leadership than us? We gotta join forces for a Generation B (Biodiversity), Generation C (Climate). We need to get active for all round mitigatory action against Climate Change & Biodiversity Loss and push forward to Generation A (All-symbolizing harmony). Let’s take our own way with rightful actions & corner the villains and culprits at every front and boycott planetary injustice!!
Are you ready to join the forces of “Generation B, C and All? I am, I am ready to put all my egomaniac human “qualities” behind in fighting for the planet that belongs to us all. I promise to alarm the bell and act with my colleagues and youth around making sure others don’t take the same wrong way of development, but the right one and help our beautiful planet back in harmony with nature. How about you?
Help us all by helping yourself! Join the global movement to curb biodiversity loss from at your locations. Act rightfully!!
THANK YOU to those already in action!!
