Can a global pause provide the blueprint for a greener future?
In short: As the Covid-19 pandemic forced millions to shelter at home, the natural world underwent a visible transformation. This animated poem explores those shifts and asks if we can use this historical moment to jumpstart the rewilding of our planet.
Narrated by Dr. Jane Goodall, the video examines the environmental changes seen during the pandemic, such as clearing smog, increased birdsong, and clearer waters. Written by Tom Rivett-Carnac and directed by Avi Ofer, the piece contemplates whether the transition back to work and school can be used as an opportunity to pursue a cleaner, healthier, and greener future through the rebirth of nature.
