Endangered species and ecosystems need our help... but they also need us to balance our minds and hearts, as we are all intereconnected.  We, as caretakers of the planet, must behave responsibly and protect life with an actual understanding of what life is about: expression of love, celebration of thriving, and healthy family fun.

Most animals are known to play, love, sing, dance and enjoy the moment.

 

Wildlife and habitat conservation efforts benefit greatly from the respect of those values: artistic and cultural creations are by far the best vehicles for natural-world education, conservancy fundraising and awareness campaigns. Frowning doomsday pessimism or sedative stacks of scientific data are much less likely to attract enough of the people, funds and youth we need to overcome our many ecological challenges.
