Answer:

The film home highlight the damage man is doing to the planet. With this film, it shows images of cities, rain forests, deserts and oceans to highlight the damage of climate change, development and over exploitation is doing to the planet.

 This film by Arthus-Bertrand hopes to provide a stepping-stone to further the call to action to take care of our mother earth. Yet we have succeeded in disrupting the balance that is so essential to life on Earth.

The Earth is a miracle. Life remains a mystery. Family of animals form united by customs and rituals that survive today. Some adapt to the nature of their pasture, and their pasture adapts to them. And both gained. The animal sates its hunger and the tree can blossom again. In the great adventure of life on Earth. Every species has a role to play; every species has its place. None is futile or harmful. They all balance out. And that’s where us, human enter the story. You benefit from its different beautiful nature.

All living matter is linked like water, air, soil, trees etc.  The world’s magic is right in front of our eyes. Trees breathe groundwater into the atmosphere as light mist. They form a canopy that alleviates the impact of heavy rains and protects the soil from erosion. The forests provide the humidity that is necessary for life. They are the mother and father of rain. The forests store carbon. They contain more than all the Earth’s atmosphere.

They are the cornerstone of the climatic balance on which we all depend. Trees provide a habitat for the planet’s biodiversity-that is to say, of all life on Earth. Every year, we discover new species we had no idea existed-insects, birds, mammals. These forests provide the remedies that cure us. The substances secreted by these plants can be recognized by our bodies. We are of the same family all living things are important.

Humanity has no more than 10 years to reverse the trend and avoid crossing into this territory life on Earth as we have never known it. We have created phenomena we cannot control. Since our origins, water, air and forms of life are intimately linked. But recently, we have broken those links.

Let’s face the facts. All that we have just seen is a reflection of human behavior. We have shaped the Earth in our image. We have very little time to change. It’s time to come together. What’s important is not what’s gone, but what remains. We still have half the world’s forests, thousands of rivers, lakes and glaciers and thousands of thriving species. We know that the solutions are there today. We all have the power to change. So what are we waiting for?

Lets save and protect  the mother earth.
