WWF WE ARE ALL CONNECTED

We Are All Connected
Today, we must weave the threads again.



There are numerous examples of nature´s interrelations. Take a delicious red snapper dish, for instance. Behind this feast that we can enjoy in a wonderful restaurant in La Paz, Mexico there's a whole story about a complex natural process. The San Pedro-Mezquital basin runs through the states of Durango, Nayarit and Zacatecas in Mexico. This basin transports an immense amount of nutrients and sediments from the Chihuahuan Desert WWF's ecoregion to the river's estuary. These nutrients are then, by the oceanic currents, to the Gulf of California. In the Gulf of California, the nutrients are mixed with the sediment that comes from the Colorado River's vast torrent. These mixed nutrients and sediment feed micro-algae and zooplankton. Micro-algae and zooplankton, in turn, feed thousands of sardines. Sardines then feed red snappers. Everything is connected.


Could we ever possibly imagine that the can of sardines stored in our pantry is closely related to a river's health in Nayarit, Mexico?


All regions in the world are important. The Amazon Rainforest regulates the world's climate; it is estimated that it stores between 90 and 140 tons of carbon. The oceans' level highly depends on the seasonal cycle from the ice caps in Greenland. The oceanic currents enable the displacement of ships and facilitate the migration of different sea creatures around the globe. The oceanic current in the Gulf of Mexico makes northeast Europe a milder zone than other areas located on the same latitude.

Celebrating 50 years since its foundation and 20 years since its arrival in Mexico, WWF launches this video through the Internet in order to inspire us to live in a planet in which we are all in harmony with nature.

WWF-Mexico, Ogilvy & Mather Mexico and the French production company Troublemakers, send an audiovisual message to the whole world: "We Are All Connected". Today, we must weave the threads again.
