Nature Is Speaking
Environmental awareness campaign
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nature Is Speaking is an ongoing environmental awareness campaign by Conservation International that was launched in 2014.[1] The campaign is developed by TBWA\Media Arts Lab and produced by RadicalMedia for Conservation International.[2] It was conceptualized by Peter Seligmann and Lee Clow[3] and its launch was led by M. Sanjayan.[4]
Concept
Each short film of the campaign personifies a different environmental aspect, such as the ocean, with its own celebrity narrator. The campaign is intended to raise awareness that nature is required in order for humans to survive. Each film ends with the slogan: "Nature doesn't need people. People need nature."[5]
Languages
As of 2023, the campaign has been released in 11 different languages: English, Mandarin, Portuguese, Filipino, Spanish, Cantonese, Indonesian, German, French, Dutch and Arabic.
