The foods we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, all come from nature. We are more reliant on nature’s services than most can ever imagine. Yet these are exceptional times in which nature telling us to wake up and take notice. It’s time to reimagine our relationship with nature. Hosted by Colombia, in partnership with Germany, the theme for this year’s World Environment Day, on 5 June is biodiversity, “Time for Nature”, an urgent call to combat accelerating species loss and degradation of our natural world at the hands of human activity. It will take not just one, nor just a village or neighbourhood but an entire global community. It’s time to raise our voices and tell our global leaders that we need nature at the heart of decision making.

We may be physically-distanced, but we can stay socially-connected and make digital discussions more important than ever. |
