We are Nature Defending Itself

Industrial society, spread across the world through globalisation, has reached a phase of profound disconnection from nature. 

Disconnection from nature means disconnection from who we really are.

Resulting from this disconnection, many people lack emotional intelligence and undergo mental health struggles.

Resulting from this disconnection, humanity is destroying life on Earth.

In the face of climate and ecological catastrophe, some people have undergone deep, personal transformations.

Such personal transformation is interwoven with the development of the climate movements, particularly Extinction Rebellion.

Extinction Rebellion represents personal as much as societal development, where the individual and the collective are linked.

In the face of climate and ecological catastrophe, some people are finding wisdom and courage buried deep at the core of their being, and are mobilising.

Extinction Rebellion are facing up to the toxic, corporate powers engendering climate breakdown, ecological collapse and mass species extinction.

Extinction Rebellion have declared our social contract null and void, for allowing corporate hegemony to destroy life on Earth.

We are in the midst of a human-wrought mass extinction event.

This is not a drill.

In failing to protect us from the most significant of dangers our governments are delegitimised.

"Dwindling population sizes and range shrinkages amount to a massive anthropogenic erosion of biodiversity and of the ecosystem services essential to civilization"

When we face the destruction of life on Earth.

When our social contract has been declared null and void.

When we have been through the dark night of the soul.

There is only one option left.

Rebellion.
