WATCH: Lawrence Anthony Earth Organization launches inspirational short
The video captures the beauty of our planet through the use of original footage
The Lawrence Anthony Earth Organization (LAEO), an international conservation non-profit, has launched its worldwide Cooperative Ecology movement with an inspirational short: A Message to Humanity.
The video, directed by award-winning cinematographer and producer Taron Lexton, captures the beauty of our planet through the use of original footage—while driving home humanity’s role as not only the source of the environmental problems we face but, also, the source of their resolution.
Named after its founder the late South African Conservationist known as the ‘Indiana Jones of Conservation’ and the ‘Elephant Whisperer,’ the Lawrence Anthony Earth Organization (LAEO) held a simultaneous online premiere release event as part of rolling out their new brand of environmental conservation: Cooperative Ecology™
Their Message to Humanity is certainly thought provoking—intended for one to walk away with a feeling of having some power to protect and restore their home Earth.
LAEO’s approach involves the formation of collaborative science and technology teams addressing specific environmental challenges while also focusing on educating members in industry and public sectors.
LAEO considers that Cooperative Ecology is critical to finding real solutions to impasse situations and that this is what it will take to ensure effective protection and preservation of the health of people, wildlife, commerce, jobs, the economy, and our rivers, oceans, air and lands.
Along with the grand opening of their new website and film short debut, the group released a stirring publication, Reflections of Lawrence Anthony – Why the Earth Organization.
Made available free to anyone for educational purposes, the booklet conveys a clear and somewhat chilling picture of the true state of our plant and animal kingdoms and humanity’s responsibility for taking care of their priceless assets.
The iconic story Anthony tells about his saving of the Baghdad Zoo during the invasion of Iraq in 2003 in the book entitled: Babylon’s Ark was one of the experiences catalyzing the formation of the Earth Organization which has now grown to a global presence with 21 Chapters since it began 13 years ago.
