echoes of attenborough - muertissima lyrics

i’m very sorry i can’t be with you all today at such an important gathering
some have speculated that i’ve seen more of the natural world than anyone else. well, it’s certainly true that i have been extremely fortunate to spend my life travelling the world to film and share the wonders of nature
i’ve witnessed the natural world at its most fascinating and vibrant, but i’ve also witnessed startling changes; changes that are today threatening our various civilisations

it’s worth reflecting that our civilisations arose in large part because of the last twelve thousand*year period of climatic stability; known as the holocene which allowed humans to settle and farm
this ability ultimately gave rise to international trade in ideas, as well as goods. making us the globally connected species we are today and in need of the international governance that you and your institutions provide

however, we’ve taken that stability for granted

our economies and political systems are unconsciously predicated on the belief that nature will continue to be a benign and regular provider of the conditions we need to thrive; regular seasons, dependable freshwater, endless fish, pollinators, minerals, soil

it’s now apparent that the holocene has ended

and our stable, reliable planet no longer exists
the impacts of this destabilisation will profoundly impact every country on earth
when you think about it, there is perhaps no more unsettling thought, the only conditions modern humans have ever known are changing and changing fast

you are all in positions where you can make more of a difference than most
if ever we needed a strong signal from world leaders from people like you that we’re going to solve this; it is now

in 2020, we have a key moment in history. some have called it a ‘super year’, a coming together of major global decisions on climate, nature, oceans, and development
it could not be more important and far*reaching what we do in the next few years will determine the next few thousand years
