Thoughts about biodiversity and the climate crisis
Island Stories #36: Reflecting on nature, conservation, the IPCC report, and leadership
This afternoon, I was in the dunes close to home, on the west side of the island Schouwen-Duiveland. I had been reading in the IPCC report, and walking in nature is perhaps the best way to reflect on all its deeply worrying information.
There were many of the semi-feral ponies on my route, and I took some time to film them. I added them to my two-minute message in this video.

I could use one after reading in the IPCC report.

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.
👍 for your presentation, we must all be listening including the ponies (-:
