this is truely eye opening. Instead of constantly hearing the "complaints" of us human destroying planet earth, now seeing how the planet would look like and how the ecosystem would work when we wouldn't interfere the circle of life. Absolutely amazing, 13 minutes is way to short but it opened my eyes that we are on one hell of a mission.

"...when we wouldn't interfere the circle of life..." Virtually no part of land on this globe has not been interfered with in order to suit us humans. With no signs of this trend slowing down, let alone stopping. We love to protect whales and polar bears but eat birds and animals raised and slaughtered in the most cruel fashion. We are an avaricious species that fawns over itself with flowery self praise for our noble regard for nature. If it is any comfort, our species will become extinct the way all others do. And rthe planet will continue to spin, the rain will continue to fall.

What a great group of people they are there. From what it was before, to now just amazing. I’ve stopped your video before the end and am hoping you will give an address /details of the Scientists As I’m hoping I can donate or help in any way I can. Love your videos. Thank you for keeping me company whilst recuperating xxxx

3:24 "until we can love ourselves we'll have a really hard time taking care of anyone or anything else, and that's been a powerful lesson from nature for me. Spending time in nature is where I really got to know myself, my limits and also what I am capable of. When I see a system that's in balance like this [...] that is just amazing, but we are not gonna see that everywhere until we can kind of come to grips with who we are".
