I fully support this. Today a friend wrote (in another group):
"It is my belief that the way we find a model for ... a better world
is to spend mindful time in sensory contact with nature and then
incorporate our learning into our own lives. With respect to other
views, to me this means to be open and respectful -- how can we
support each other? How can we compete in ways that increase the
health of all? How can we support all life?"
What comes to mind is a panorama project where Nature - either
undisturbed, or (sadly) devastated by humans is the topic.

There is a fire burning over the Earth, taking with it plants and
animals, cultures, languages, ancient skills and visionary wisdom.
Quelling this flame, and reinventing the poetry of diversity,
is the most important challenge of our times.
