Global Wildlife Conservation today shared the third in a five-part series of animated videos celebrating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Today’s episode is narrated by Nemonte Nenquimo, a Waorani leader, who used her voice to defend her tribe from attempts to open Waorani lands for oil extraction in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Guided by tribal knowledge passed down for generations, she invites viewers to join her and other indigenous women to become guardians for nature.

Earth Day videos
GWC will release a new Earth Day video daily at 10 a.m. EDT through April 26. Each video tells a personal story of its narrator’s unique connection to nature.

April 22—Commander Chris Hadfield narrates a video about viewing the Earth from space and its profound effect on him. The experience, which is not uncommon in astronauts and known as the overview effect, puts in sharp perspective for him that all life on Earth is connected. He invites viewers to flip the narrative about humans’ relationship with the Earth and climate change. And he asks them to stop viewing themselves as separate from the Earth, but instead as very much a part of it.

April 23—Renowned environmental photographer, Cristina Mittermeier, describes her passion for the oceans and the foundation they create for all life on Earth. She invites viewers to remember that humans, as well as the planet, are made of water, making their survival perpetually linked.

April 25—Confirmed cynic, producer and writer for The Simpsons, George Meyer, explains how his initial skepticism of Earth Day 50 years ago bloomed into a deep appreciation for the planet that permeated his writing.

April 26—Eight-year-old budding conservationist, Kena Moore, describes his ambitions for the future, including inventing a submarine to help remove plastic from the oceans. In the more immediate future, he encourages viewers to follow his lead and help pollinators living around their own homes.
