Looking down on this great metropolis, the ingenuity with which we continue to reshape the
surface of our planet is very striking, but it's also sobering.
It reminds me of just how easy it is for us to lose our connection with the natural world.
Yet it's on this connection that the future of both humanity and the natural world will depend.
It's surely our responsibility to do everything within our power to create a planet
that provides a home not just for us, but for all life on Earth.
