Abstract

We know that, despite many efforts to save it, our environment is still deteriorating at an alarming rate. While many organisations and individuals want to reverse this trend by raising awareness the importance of preserving healthy ecosystems, very few people seem to know what concrete actions they can do. In the next few pages, I try to list some ideas, but more importantly, I invite you, the reader, to take responsibility, to take matters into your own hands, and to make the world around you a better place. Every individual action adds up, so question yourself: do I care? Inform yourself: what’s my impact on ecosystems and people? And most importantly: act. There are good and bad ways to raise awareness, there are ways to “sell” biodiversity to those around you, to make it appealing, and there is a way to explain it to those who only swear by numbers. It’s about time that we start living in harmony with nature.
