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

[edit]

The campaign intends to raise awareness that people need nature in order to survive. It features a series of short films in each of which different aspects of nature are voiced by well-known personalities. Each film ends with the following slogan: "Nature doesn't need people. People need nature."[1]

Languages

[edit]

As of 2023, the campaign has been released in 11 different languages: English, Mandarin, Portuguese, Filipino, Spanish, Cantonese, Indonesian, German, French, Dutch and Arabic.
