IPBES Global Assessment Inspires Poetry Project Raising Awareness about Biodiversity Loss
English (396)
Stating he wants to use his work "to encourage people to create a sanctuary for life on earth,” poet Anthony E. Lovell founded The One Million Poetry project, taking inspiration from the 2019 IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Through poetry and visual art, the project aims to raise awareness of the one million species at risk of extinction and tap "into the emotional power of poetry to touch people’s hearts and encourage them to take action whilst there is still time."
Lovell "founded The One Million Poetry Project in collaboration with Ingrid Lung of The Earth Agency in response to the 2019 IPBES report that identified up to 1,000,000 species were at risk of extinction from human activity. The project seeks to collaborate with other artists, conservation organisations and corporations in support of sharing the earth with all species, recognition of other species (Great Apes, Cetaceans, and Elephants to start with), and the promotion of a ‘Sanctuary Earth’ world view."
