Can we do it ?
There are clear signs of hope form around the world. We do have the intelligence and ingenuity to adapt to a changing world.
The ancient art of falconry now helps protect the modern city of Dubai. We can work hand in hand with nature to solve the problems we face. In India we train fig trees to make living bridges. And we team up with elephants to extract valuable timber without trashing the whole forest. We can think as a community and plan ahead. In Mali, The fish in this lake are shared out only once a year. When we work together, it`s incredible what we can achieve. Everyone in the mud city of Djenne collaborates to protect their sacred mosque.
We have such spirit and such bravery in the face of adversity. If we combine these natural abilities with the best of our imagination and our biggest ideas, then surely our cities can adapt and change.
The destiny of our planet is now in human hands.
