The mother of all reconciliations: Caring for our planet

Description
In an era defined by environmental crises, our disconnection from nature underscores the urgent need to integrate science, culture, and emotional connections to foster a renewed relationship with our planet. All voices, especially those of women, are pivotal in uniting for the preservation of Earth. Inclusive dialogue means actively engaging marginalised communities, indigenous groups, and diverse stakeholders in decision-making processes. By amplifying these voices and integrating their insights into environmental strategies, we can build more equitable and effective responses to the challenges facing our world and the threats we pose to nature.
