About "Lungs Of Mother Earth"
While the world is focused on so many geo-political and health concerns, half of humanity is at risk from impacts of climate change. Any further delay will miss a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a livable and sustainable future for all. Where to start?
The Amazon is home to three million species of plants and animals, and one million indigenous people. The Amazon basin contains 20 percent of the world’s flowing fresh water.
Today, we stand in a moment of destiny. The tipping point is now.
The Amazon is under threat from deforestation and burning. Soon, half of the forest could give way to savanna, all in the name of economic development and greed. Fires are visible from space.
The moisture of the Amazon is critical for the world’s climate.
If the Amazon is destroyed, it will be impossible to control global warming.
Together, we need the will and imagination to save the fragile Amazon.
Composed and Performed by Kluane Takhini
