Beautiful video, sobering message. We could all feel the effects of climate change first hand across Europe these past months, but it doesn't feel like people will change the way the think or live their lives.

Love those ponies and Highland Cattle watching from behind a tress - how cool is that. Thank you for sharing and I hope a lot of people hear your message.

A beautiful montage of scenes from your incredible island underscores the important words in your message of the state of climate change & the critical juncture we’ve reached. You’ve dedicated yourself to this impending menace that’s now reached code red. Delivered with earnest gravity & sincerity, you illustrate with these beautiful dunes, nature & animals what we stand to lose without drastic changes as proven by the IPCC report. Very well done, thank you!

The watcher in the woods seems to want to add his thanks as well.

I hope you earn many cups of coffee for this commendable effort as well as your many other tireless efforts for protecting our planet.

I hikeea lot in Arizona and enjoy the wrong nature and open spaces. Unfortunately a lot of people have brought plants and foliage from non-desert areas and along with those plants they brought lots of allergens. They don’t bother me but people used to come to Arizona to deal with lung problems etc. Now none indigenous plants have ruined it a bit

Excellent work. A voice of coherence and simplicity, surrounded by the beauty of a unique place. The reality we have confronted with touches the space around us in a different way, questioning challenges, objectives and opportunities. Each generation prepares the future of another and life give us all the tools to open the way. Tomorrow is definitely in our hands.

Thank you for a beautiful video and an important and thoughtful message. We have been fighting invasive species on our island too. Heat waves are now striking both coasts and the middle of America. Perhaps that will get people to demand action on the climate from their legislators. The wildfires in the Mediterranean and Western US are also terrifying. Our planet is truly burning and it affects every living creature.

Seeing those ponies and cattle help to remind that if we want the beauty of this planet to remain, action on the climate must be a priority.

Dartmoor, England, a historic and wonderful area depends on the animals, indigenous ponies and cattle which graze there and have made it flourish. I hear that there is an amendment in the House Of Lords which is ominous. Apparently there may be changes to the common law grazing rights. It is a worry. The Dutch dunes look wonderful.
