The COVID19 pandemic has highlighted our connection to, and dependence on, the natural world. We have relied on the greenspaces in our neighbourhoods and developed new attachments to the birds outside our window, and we have reflected on the catastrophic consequences of destroying species habitat. It’s now time for a new conversation about how we can work together to restore the life support systems of the planet and redefine humanity’s relationship to the natural world.
Graham Saul individually interviewed 116 of Canada’s leading environmentalists, his paper explores the power of words in mobilizing and inspiring social movements of the past, and puts forward ideas for how the environmental community might organize around a common goal.
Designed to spark debate, this paper blends the personal and professional, weaving Graham’s and other sector leaders’ reflections on what they are fighting for, with a critical analysis of how social movements are built, flourish, and upend the status quo in pursuit of a better world.
