Extinction no longer belongs to the distant past. It is becoming a reality. We are endangering the fragile gift of life on our planet. Defence protocols should exist to save life, not destroy it.
Environmental abuse is unacceptable.
What is needed today, in order for civilisation to evolve into the future, is leadership with a vision that unites and does not divide. An organisation like NATO has a key role to play in this endeavour. By re-evaluating its priorities, it could develop methods for the defence of the environment and of our cultural heritage. It can apply its resources to help save our world from extinction. In fact, NATO has the know-how and potential to guarantee the survival of our planet.
