Writer's Workshop - Nature Is Speaking (Tuning In)


Nature Is Speaking is Conservation International’s invitation to the human race to listen to nature.

Nature is essential to every aspect of human life and well-being — we want to make sure it’s included in the conversation. People are taking more from nature than it has to give, and as a result, we’re putting our own lives on the line.

Nature’s message to humanity is simple: Nature doesn’t need people. People need nature.

Human beings are part of nature. Nature is not dependent on human beins to exist. Human beings, on the other hand. are totally dependent on nature to exist. The growing number of people on the planet and how we live here is going to determine the future of nature. And the future of us.

Nature will go on, no matter what. It will evolve.The question is, will it be with us or without us?

If nature could talk, it would probably say it doesn’t much matter weither way. We must understand there are aspects of how our planet evolves that are totally out of our control.

But there are things that we can manage, control and do responsible that will allow us and the planet to evolve together. This is simply about all of us coming together to do what needs to be done.

Because if we don’t, nature will continue to evolve. Without us. Here’s to the future. With humans.

Task 1: What force of nature are you?

What 'sparked' your interest?
