ABOUT THE EVENT
Unlike past inflection points in human history, the one that is currently being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, calls for a fundamental rethinking of our relationship with animals and Nature. In this interview presentation, Marlene Narrow ( Vegan Nation) speaks with Dr. Sailesh Rao about his organization Climate Healers. Dr Rao explains the realities of functional extinction and how our past and present treatment of animals impacts our planet and our future survival. Dr Rao explains how a transformation towards peace for all beings through being VEGAN (“ Vitally Engaged Guardians of Animals and Nature”) is one thing we can all do to heal our climate, save other species, the earth and ourselves, for a thriving and sustainable future.
