Listen to me read this post.
Yesterday I gave a talk about National Parks in the United States followed by group discussions. Everyone agreed that protecting natural areas is a good idea and that educating people is the way to do it. As one of the audience members pointed out, it's the people who will follow the ideas of conservation and protection of the environment whether or not their country has laws in place for those protections. So, it's up to us all to set a good example and to inspire and teach others to do the same.
Need more inspiration? (and more practice listening to English) Watch this series of videos with Harvard Professor, Dr. Edward O. Wilson as he talks about the importance of protecting the environment and the role of the US National Parks in that effort. As Dr. Wilson says if you have the chance to experience nature in the national parks you will want to know more. As he says, "It allows people to see it, understand it, love it."
The link to those videos is in the blog post.
