I know that many have already listened and commented at the youtube site. Pella reaches to the heart of us ... We abandoned the non-human world where we belong. They of that world would see us back.
I was fortunate to have become a friend, however briefly, of Polly Higgens while she was doing the scoping work before she focussed specifically on the legal term 'Ecocide'. She and her husband Ian as lawyers understood the power of the law. I was again extremely lucky to have a last few words with her after she had become immersed in the global work, shortly before the diagnosis that cut short so much.
It is great encouragement to hear Pella so eloquently carrying that work forward.
Some poetic lines come to mind ... 'There came a wind like a bugle ... ' from the Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson.

Thank you Philip for those kind words! It is an honour to be walking in Pollys steps.
