Once we allow ourselves to truly experience that, it is ours forever. We need only shut our eyes and tune into its power to gain a sense of our own awesomeness--the freedom to simply be.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of species will disappear from the earth including icons like polar bears, gorillas, Asiatic lions and bluefin tuna. For many cultures ’species’ are ’place’. As our cultivated global community erodes, international triage decisions about species and local ecosystems will commence and if we are not alert, these decisions will be made on our collective behalf, without local perspective or accountability. Global Environmental Governance, Civil Society and Wildlife illuminates a clear pathway for the environme...
Some believe the natural world is our real home. The place where we came from. Could the eternal pull we feel toward the golden warmth of a rising sun, the tumbling waves of the ocean, or the soothing sound of birdsong, be nature?s way of calling us home? Wildlife communicates through sounds and sights, scents and colours, emotion and more. There is a mystery to wildlife we are at a loss to explain, a complexity challenging to describe, and an experience impossible to convey. All Things Breathe Alike is a collection of nine separate essays written by three wildlife enthusiasts celebrating what is not yet lost. It is a crusade by passionate conservationists hoping to shed light on the ever-increasing problem of habitat loss and the many other pressing threats to the natural world. It is a gathering of friends standing together to try and make a difference in this world.
