Having grown up at the foothills of the Himalayas replete with litchi orchards, life has been full of encounters with inhabitants of the mountains, each one carrying a different shard of my ancestors. I speak with them — to the moths that would...

No matter how much money polluting industries have made, when wildfires consume the last forest, when the last city is flooded, when we are unable to produce any food and are severely dehydrated because of the extremely high heat and no water to drin...

Let’s see the future as a consequence of our current acts, let’s show the youngest examples of good acts that have been done before and how they have contributed to the improvement of today. Every little seed that is planted today, tomorrow w...

We must learn to respect not only human but all living beings on Earth...

We receive pure water and air from forests. They store carbon, aid in regulating the temperature, and support a wide variety of plants and animals. But today, forests are being lost and destroyed all over the globe. Forests are cut down for a variety...

It is important that we break toxic cycles. Whatever decisions you make now will not only affect those who are still growing up, but will determine what trends they will carry forward. The future can be bright, if we all work together to unlearn and...

I have a friend who comes from one of the sacred lands in West Java. From him, I have learned how people from modern communities like mine have been displaced and disconnected from nature. I believe that humans can thrive together by re-learning thin...

Resilience. Nature shows us the ability to recover after being damaged or destroyed. We always see how it strives to survive: the small plants and flowers that emerge after devastating floods, the forests that regrow after fires, the trees that lift...

To re-learn how we are interconnected with a living, damaged planet we must unlearn the human arrogance that has resulted in massive biodiversity loss, the destruction of entire ecosystems, and irreversible climate change. Pedagogy needs to be framed...

In the stillness of nature I have learned to listen to my inner voice, to follow my intuition and to explore new paths. I have learned that I need sun, water, clean air and that, in a way, I am like a tree: my passage through life must produce sh...
