My Dear Distinguished World Leaders,. Wont You Ple..

My Dear Distinguished World Leaders,

Won’t you please make time to consider?

That it’s not as per man’s desire,

We decide how to govern nature-

For all of earth’s air, land and waters

Along with all her living creatures

neither knows of man’s drawn up borders

nor yields to executive powers

It’s in Nature’s nature to nurture

She’s both, creator and preserver

And we enjoy all of her splendour,

The fruits of nature’s endless labour

But beware of nature’s full powers,

In her too resides a destroyer

Though mostly, a natural feature

She’ll strike back against man made dangers-

But if we truly get to know her,

We will see in her the protector

She provides cure and keeps us secure

But then, she also does so much more-

Sadly, we take, exploit and plunder,

Pollute, chase growth and not consider

How to manage and curb desires

For only so much, can she endure

We’ve no time, but for truth and candour

We need nature to live and prosper

We must build back better, not bigger

We all win, when we respect nature

Global Biodiversity Crisis Calls for Urgent Action. It’s Time for Nature! We need to rebuild our socially constructed constitutions and notions of growth and embrace environmental sustainability as the new way of function, not merely an option. Let’s first recognise the right of nature, namely the recognition that our environment is a sum of interconnected systems which have a right to exist, persist, regenerate, and continue its natural functions. – G. Shantini, WWF-Malaysia

The #LeadersPledge4Nature is endorsed by over 60 heads of state and governments, committing to reverse nature loss by 2030. It is crucial this momentum is maintained at the forthcoming #BiodiversitySummit. Read the pledge: https://www.leaderspledgefornature.org/ #4Nature4Us
