TRANSKRIP 🔗
Jojo Mehta:
Most ecocide happens as collateral damage to making money or growing food or whatever it is. But when you look at the consequences, then you start to see why ecocide needs to be at the level of an international atrocity crime. Because effectively, if we continue with the levels of ecosystem destruction that our culture has developed over the last few decades, we're not just looking at a part of a people being destroyed; we're looking at the end of human civilization as we know it. Because, without healthy ecosystems, we simply can't survive.
