Although I had been told that viewing the Earth from space would change the way you see it, I wasn’t prepared to find out how true this was.

Bezos described 2021 to be a “critical year,” and encouraged humanity to “stand united to protect our planet.”

Each year forests and landscapes absorb 11. billion tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Nature is being destroyed and this causes it to be reversed,” he said at the Glasgow event. It is a grave danger for all of us.

Bezos declared that the $3 billion pledges together will lead to a new, threefold nature agenda at Bezos Earth Fund. This plan is focused simultaneously on restoration, conservation and food transformation.

We must preserve what is left, restore what’s lost, and grow the food we need without causing damage to the environment for future generations.
