Stand up for earth
There's no Planet B
The Apex of Grace
Leopards are among the most powerful, intelligent and stunning creatures on Earth. They embody natural beauty.
To watch a Leopard move through the forest is an unforgettable gift.
Nothing I have seen in nature moves with such grace.
The Leopard is absolute beauty.
Greed and blindness are causing ecological breakdown;
Indifference to this injustice is what continually allows it.
We Are Nature
We each are a part of the natural world, and the natural world is a part of us all.
The average human body is made from over 30 Trillion cells.
Each living cell contains some 100 Trillion atoms, making every cell a
living miracle in itself.
These all come together in balance with a living environment to perform the
miracle of nature that we call life.
Not only do Human beings need nature,
We are nature. To harm nature
is to harm ourselves.
"The Leopard is absolute Beauty."
A leopard is master of hiding and hunting. We only find those that wish to be found.
Adorned with grace,
poise, balance and power, the moment you see one all time
becomes still.
A great being like a Leopard demands respect and admiration.
"The Moment You See ONE All Time becomes Still"
Perfect Balance
Before you ever find a Leopard you will be studied and watched.
A Leopard sees you before you ever notice it.
They reveal themselves only by choice.
To find so much as their shadow passing by is an honour,
for if they have shown even this they chose not to cause any harm to you.
"I have never seen anything move with such elegance and power."
As I knelt to take this photograph I was in awe of the
beauty before me. The Leopard is a perfect living artwork in so many ways; I see divinity in their form, spirit and movement.
Immediately after I took the shot he turned
and launched himself 30 foot up into a tree.
I was astounded to see how powerful this Leopard was.
Such raw, effortless, incredible motion. A true honour to witness.
I have never seen anything move with such elegance and power.
As he turned to look back from the height of the tree,
It felt like he was actually reading my thoughts;
Seeing, feeling and connecting spiritually.
I am sure he could feel my complete admiration.
"A True Honour to Witness"
The Leopard is one of
nature's great forms.
It is a blessing to simply be near to one.
When I look at these beings I see creation's perfection.
Behind their beautiful eyes
is a raw living spirit.
The leopard is truly a miracle.
"The Leopard is truly a miracle"
Despite all of their perfect natural beauty the Leopard is endangered.
Some species, like Amur Leopard's, are almost completely gone.
Fight Against Manmade Extinction
There are people fighting valiantly to protect these species, like Shatrunjay Pratap Singh, who dedicated his life to protecting Indian Wildlife and even stopped government sanctioned mining from destroying one of the
last thriving Leopard habitats on Earth.
Another amazing human being, Jadav Payeng, started planting trees along the river when he was just 16 years old. By continually planting over 35 years they have now grown into a 1360 acre forrest teeming with wildlife;
including Elephants, Deer and Tigers.
Some beautiful souls do incredible things against great odds for the preservation of Mother Nature, but they are heavily outnumbered by corporate money and its servants. We need so many more to stand up for Earth now and join the fight against destruction. By raising awareness and getting involved ourselves, we can all come together to save life on this planet for future generations.
Save Nature for Future Generations
When those who care for these animals work together as one they can have an enormous impact, such as increasing tiger populations due to conservation efforts in India, or the beginning of the first ever snow leopard conservation project in the country last year. These excellent projects are also very fragile and in need of increased
public support to ensure continued expansion.
All the big cats of India are under threat due to fragmented forests and rapidly disappearing habitat chopped down in the name of unsustainable development.
We need to start protecting not only the remaining natural animal habitat but also working to replant and repopulate it - work which will take global support.
Only through major increased awareness can we truly save endangered species.
We are fighting to protect nature from destructive & unsustainable human economic processes.
This is a fight against corporate enabled manmade extinction.
"Over half of all animal species are now in decline."
One of the greatest recent success stories for conservation was the creation of the major 650,000 acre "Land of the Leopard" National Park in Russia, which covers
60% of all the highly endangered Amur Leopards' natural habitat.
"Be magnificent as the leopard, fight to win."
- Rumi
In the past few decades, habitat destruction and poaching has caused Leopard populations to dramatically decrease - by over 80%.
Because of human activity many animals are endangered.
Over half of animal species are now in decline.
Many species on Earth are
now facing extinction.
Only 70 Left
The Amur Leopard is one of the most endangered species on Earth.
It is believed that there are just 70 of
these beautiful beings left living wild.
70.
Only 70 wild Amur Leopards.
How can this happen unnoticed?
Because those who harm earth have great influence over mass media.
Protecting Keystone Species
Certain species in an ecosystem have a tremendous impact upon the others in a local, or even global, ecology.
These species are known as "keystone" species.
The loss of keystone species can cause
sudden collapse of entire ecosystems
The loss of keystone species can cause sudden collapse of entire ecosystems. Particularly when these species, like Leopard's, keep human beings off the land. For nature to recover
we must protect keystone species.
For nature to recover we must protect keystone species
Unsustainable Industry Destroys this Planet
"Every year about 18 million hectares of forest –
an area the size of England and Wales –
is cleared."
- World Resources Institute
Forestry, unsustainable agriculture, Chemical Use and Mining are the most destructive industries of all to the habitat of animals
like the Leopard.
Because of unsustainable industry there are now so few safe spaces for animals left that we are completely losing hundreds of species
every day.
Because of massive ignorance, corporate greed and irresponsible
humans, 67% of all animal species on planet Earth are now in decline.
67% of all animal species on planet Earth are now in decline.
We still have time to save these beautiful animals, but it is now or never.
We either stand up for Earth, nature and all lifeforms; or we fail them.
It is that simple.
Standing for and protecting Earth
means standing up to and replacing unsustainable agriculture
and industry.
We still have time to save these beautiful animals,
but it is now or never
We do not have to be a part of this destruction.
We can choose instead to create and support alternatives to it.
We can simply choose to save nature, protect Earth and become sustainable.
Let us make this choice now.
We either stand up for our future,
nature and all life on Earth; or choose to do nothing.
By supporting regenerative farming and growing our own food, sharing resources and reducing consumption of things that cause harm to planet Earth,
we can collectively create a much better world. We can
create resilient and sustainable communities both
locally and globally, that set examples to others
on how to protect our children's futures;
If caring people come together.
The planet is in trouble, but there is still time to change;
We need to act now.
By coming out of and being separate from broken systems,
by forming communities, sharing talents, skills and resources, we can
work together securely and sustainably to protect nature & create a much better world.
Forming sustainable, responsible, compassionate communities living in harmony with nature is the simplest and most enjoyable way to protect our children's futures and all life on Earth. For most of human history this is how the great human tribes lived. It is only relatively
recently that so many allowed a system to separate them from nature.
Because of inaction and gross negligence much damage has now been done.
This damage will harm us all but even more so the poor.
The future will be difficult for many reasons,
but we can change it for good.
We can regenerate thriving natural ecosystems worldwide
By Sharing Resources we Live Sustainably and Save Nature
RESTORING THE EARTH
We should be living alongside thriving natural ecosystems. Human beings are designed to cultivate Earth's great garden, not to destroy it. To do this we need to choose a life in harmony, not opposition, with the natural ecological restoration of nature.
To often illegal logging destroys habitat that was supposed to be protected. Without a local population of human guardians much illegal destruction goes unchallenged.
Ecologically sustainable, conscious communities formed within and around natural habitats for the purpose of ecological restoration are the most sustainable way of protecting endangered areas.
Through regenerative communities we can
restore and extend former habitats to protect and monitor endangered species. Communal ecological regeneration projects can more closely monitor and protect the natural ecosystems upon which nature depends while providing a pathway for humanity and the world to return to a truly sustainable, natural and ancient way of living.
Working together is the Way, the truth and the life.
To live peacefully with each other and cultivate good lives together we need to recognise and respect the life within both ourselves,
the animals, all nature and future generations.
Life is precious. Life is sacred.
We must protect life.
Life is sacred.
When we begin to collectively protect Nature,
All life here will thrive and humanity will evolve.
There are many people ready to fight for planet Earth,
but many more are needed to tackle this issue globally.
We need a collective awakening, and quickly.
That's what this project is all about.
If people knew the ancient rainforests are being destroyed
just to grow palm oil, everything would change
The ancient rainforests are being destroyed just to plant palm oil in mono culture crops. This is because many companies use palm oil in many of our most widely consumed products. Among the worst are Burger King, Walmart/ASDA,
Cafe' Nero, Domino's Pizza and many others.
Large companies make huge profit from the destruction of rainforests
Many already know that Orangutan live in the rainforests of southeast Asia, but most are unaware that an area of rainforest larger than the united kingdom has already been destroyed in the past few years just to plant palm oil.
If people knew the ancient rainforests are being destroyed just to grow palm oil, everything would change. This is why raising awareness is so important.
We're losing so many other species to unsustainable farming
methods and gross corporate negligence
It's not just the Orangutan that suffer from this senseless destruction.
We're losing many other species to unsustainable farming
methods, government policy and corporate greed.
"Many rainforests in Central and South America have been burnt down to make way for cattle farming, which supplies beef to the rest of the world. It is estimated that for each pound of beef produced, 200 square feet of rainforest are destroyed."
Large companies make huge profits from the destruction of rainforest, woodland, marine and arctic habitats. These companies are destroying the planet knowingly, and they know one day we will stop them doing this,
which is why many are actually accelerating their pace.
Change industrial behaviours through action
If we act now we can still save many endangered species, like the Orangutan.
By learning and teaching regenerative culture, becoming conscious about the sources of what we buy we can choose natural, sustainable alternatives and change industrial behaviours through action.
If we act now we can still save many endangered species
Unsustainable industry is by definition, unsustainable. It depends upon constant consumption of Earth's resources. We can only save Earth by stopping this insane way of being. That means replacing unsustainable business with sustainable alternatives. Unsustainable business
threatens all life on Earth.
Unsustainable industry is by definition, unsustainable
People should never make huge financial gains from destroying the natural world, but they do. Some people use corporations to hide how they make money,
because their income comes from activities
We can stop this destruction from happening, simply by taking away their funding
There are different ways and reasons for this destruction, but all of it comes down to one thing: money. People don't cut down the rainforest for fun; they do it because they are paid.
We can stop most of this destruction
from happening, just by taking away their funding.
A Planet is Shared, not Owned
The resources of the Earth should not belong to anyone. They should be shared responsibly.
Many humans understand this. Let's work together. As One Tribe, One Nation.
There are no borders to the one simple truth; We are one.
When we come together in unity,
The world will transform.
If we lose these last ecosystems, it will be impossible to recover from
The maps above and below of the Earth show the concentration of unique life forms across the planet today. The areas in red are the most densely populated, biodiverse places, on Earth. They are home to more species of plants and animals than anywhere else and have been diminished to just a tiny fraction of their original size. We desperately need to protect them.
All life on Earth depends upon these last remaining natural ecosystems.
If natural ecology collapses the whole human world will soon follow
No matter how much money is made for the "rich".
When nature suffers, we all suffer.
They are the last remaining strongholds of nature's
original ecological framework
Centres of biodiversity like the Amazon rainforest sustain all of Nature and are the only chance we have of recovering a vibrant, flourishing, harmonious and balanced ecology between nature and mankind.
No form of business should be operating within a thousand miles of such
biodiverse spaces. They are the last remaining strongholds of
the original ecological framework for planet Earth.
If we lose these last ecosystems, it will be impossible to recover them.
It would trigger a planetary scale ecological collapse,
which would also lead to economic collapse
We must transform the world to protect what is left of nature
If we stand up to protect these habitats, levying huge fines upon any person or organisation involved in their destruction, while choosing to
use sustainable alternatives ourselves, we can quickly and rapidly
transform the world to protect what is left of nature.
We can Be Sustainable & Responsible
When ecosystems become unbalanced they can soon become dramatically unstable, leading to mass die offs and even total ecological collapse. There is nothing more destabilising than the destruction of habitat.
We cannot afford to allow more destruction of ancient forests,
sea life and marine habitats, nor the deadly
use of chemical pesticides and neonicotinoid insecticides.
If we don't stop allowing this and protect nature soon, there will be no place for populations to recover. We still have a chance to recover and replenish the natural world, but
if we waste this chance, it will be
terrible for our future.
It is time to stand up.
Replenish the Natural World
"I am always meeting amazing people doing great projects to allow biodiversity to creep back." - Jane Goodall
Many amazing people and their projects have been and still are fighting for the future of this planet.
From Nemonte Nenquimo to Marlice van Vuuren, the Jane Goodall Institute to Ecosia,
there is still so much hope for us to create a better world.
We just have to stand up and work together.
"It is only when you care for nature that you protect it"
- Jane Goodall
Ecosia have now planted over 100 million trees, all funded with revenue from people using their search engine! Simple actions like switching the search engine you use can have
a profound effect when we join together.
One of the most immediate differences you can make is to take your money out of bad banks.
Here is the bank I suggest switching to if you live or do business in Europe. Triodos was founded in 1980 with a mission to 'help create a society that protects and promotes quality of life and human dignity for all' by means of ethical banking. They are leading the charge in positive investment by a long way.
Aspiration bank in the U.S promises your deposits will never go towards funding fossil fuel projects, firearms, or political campaigns.
Hope Credit union makes 77% of their investments into community development projects
Supporting Regeneration
"If you plant trees in a city it has enormous benefits – it cools the temperature, cleans the air, stabilises the soil against flooding and improves psychological
and physical health, to mention only a few."
- Jane Goodall
It can be hard to see why such fierce beings need our help,
but to protect them from other humans the caring need to act.
How long have we trusted other humans to lead us?
When will we realise not to trust all the liars.
The true leader of change lives within.
Follow the spirit, the love, of your own soul.
Serve the one truth, that only love knows.
All life is sacred.
All love is one.
We are One.
Protect Our Home
Governments and corporations often hide what they do behind false promises, opaque legal documents, and a series of shell companies. This causes problems for us, since it hides what is really happening from the people. We have seen far too much of this in recent times.
Despite many figureheads placed before us as "real change", we all know inside that they represent the same system; One of centralised power were people are
governed from birth - which is obviously without consent.
Perhaps you believe these people will make good decisions on your behalf, but I don't.
All of my adult life I have seen them stealing, deceiving and worse, even pure evil.
I believe that our children could make much better decisions. Truly.
Children are much better leaders than politicians.
That is why I stand with our children.
During the many actions and protests I have taken part in these incredible young people have always astounded me. What I can't understand is why their parents aren't with them.
Though the young people have already changed the world,
and as they grow older and stronger I know they will continue to do more,
we now have an issue of very little time. The world as a whole needs to transform rapidly.
This requires huge effort, but if the older generation acts with us it will make such a difference.
If we work for the good of all, sharing skills & resources together, then we will change the world for the better in a powerful way;
and we need to.
There is no Planet B.
In 2019 there were huge demonstrations across the world to protect planet Earth, the largest of which was an international action across over 60 cities simultaneously.
Though mass media kept silent and effectively hid these images from you,
it was impossible to hide everything done completely.
We have never seen such an international movement in human history.
Over 30,000 people gathered in London to stand with our children and demand protection of the planet. Despite thousands of arrests, harsh weather and aggressive use of police force we worked together to endure with love and unity.
The demands made were simple:
That Government and media tell the truth about the planet's ecological crisis.
That they immediately declare an ecological emergency.
That they act now to stop the destruction of animal species.
That they reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero within 5 years.
That they enact the will of the people through a citizens assembly.
The impact was global, with over a thousand declarations of climate emergency in more than 33 countries. In the same year, the people of Ethiopia planted 350 million trees across 1000 sites in a single day, almost 400,000 acres of endangered animal habitat in Myanmar was declared a protected area, a major project to re-wild the Danube Delta began, Ireland pledged to plant 440 million trees and wild bison were reintroduced to Bulgaria (resulting in the first wild born calf in 800 years).
Continued pressure on government and mass activism creates real change.
If you have always wanted to change the world but did not know when or how, now is the time.
If you are waiting for a movement which truly stands for pure love, peace and justice -then
there can be no purer movement than millions of children standing up for the Earth.
There can be no greater purpose than to save a planet, its life & nature.
There is no better time than right now, in this present, to act.
Stand for our future in a free, shared world.
The events of recent times are a sign and a trumpet call for those with an ear.
We are being called to come together and act as one unified people.
It won't be easy, but together we truly can change this world.
If we act collectively, it will change humanity forever.
This is a time of revival. It is time we wake up.
Use your power. Know yourself.
Serve Truth & Free Earth
We are one love.
Courage
Good life on this Earth takes much
love, strength and courage.
All who love in this world face injustice and condemnation. We need courage to guide us through hardship and trials.
A Leopard once showed me what real courage is about, by defending itself against
a whole pride of Lions.
With the major size difference and the fact it was outnumbered, I was amazed to watch it fight them off and survive.
Very few animals have the courage, power and skill to successfully fend off
much larger attackers -
especially a pride of powerful Lions.
The Leopard embodies the spirit of courage.
If we work together with patience the world can and will change.
Patience
When in need of food,
Leopards prefer hunting from trees.
Waiting above patiently
they pick their moment and move silently. Leopards are careful,
observant and patient beings.
I have seen a Leopard
study Lions hunting for hours, just observing and waiting for
them to scatter a herd.
Once the Lions had tired and separated the herd I watched the Leopard move
in on a much easier meal.
To know when to act takes
both wisdom and patience.
There is great power to find in both wisdom and patience.
The ways of a Leopard
continually prove this.
People are Awakening
We learned a lot last year; one thing above all. The world can be changed completely and rapidly. We can change to make a better world for all, including the animals and nature.
If we choose to come together as one, for planet Earth.
Imagine millions of people coming together having peaceful,
creative, beautiful shared gatherings to learn,
grow, plan, have fun and take action.
To protect the environment and
give birth to a better world.
A free world.
The next worldwide transformation should come from free, awakened people.
A conscious humanity with respect for all life on Earth.
We hold in our hands all our children's futures.
If we don't stand up soon they will lose nature forever.
Though all human beings have a duty to the children and nature, only thee caring will live up to that calling. Caring human beings are those who provide for and protect each other. They care for humanity as a whole, the animals and Nature.
We desperately need more caring beings to awaken.
True awakening leads to action.
The young people of today are amazing. Despite such a difficult and traumatic world they stand up for the planet and place themselves on the frontline of a struggle to protect Earth from destructive systems.
Systems that they had no part in creating, and that their parents should all be changing.
They are now changing it for us, powerfully, but need much more help.
We should all be standing with them in this
Some may question the goal or effectiveness of peaceful protesting and "creative actions", but it has worked before and the alternative is harder. If enough people come together, massive peaceful protests will definitely work. This is why people like myself are still trying
amid much resistance to awaken more people while there is still time.
the Young Ones, Our Children
Government directed aggression from grown adults toward our children is beyond unacceptable;
Especially when they are literally out here standing up for the planet.
We, the adults, should be standing with them.
It is our duty to protect children.
are Standing Up to Lead
Taking action for Earth is important. It doesn't have to be weeks on the streets surrounded by police or underneath helicopters, but for some people it will be. Without these people we won't achieve
real change or it will come too slowly to actually matter. Grass roots activism
supported by a large number of people is how we succeed.
We are creators.
We can create a new Earth.
Humanity in harmony with nature's laws.
Protecting ecology and healing the planet..
Cultivating habitat, protecting all of Earth,
In terms of our human responsibility,
This is our greatest work.
We need to do it.
Al of us.
