Bud, we all want to tell our loved ones that humans are being good caretakers of the planet and that we don't just suck ... but we can't. I also want that to change but as of right, reality is what it is and it's pretty goddamn bleak. Just focus on what you can do personally and show by example. If you want videos or documentaries try ones about specific conservation efforts that focus on the actual project and what it accomplishs instead of informationals about the animals themselves.
They will still talk about the doom and gloom, that's usually the driving reason why these things are happening at all, but at least they will talk about how things could potentially improve as well.
Haha yeah in no way was I trying to say that, "humans are being good caretakers of the planet" because as an overall statement that would obviously be false. However, it is true that there are countless examples, even today, of people being good caretakers of specific ecosystems, or of social/political systems which can impact some ecosystems.
Yeah, that kind of stuff. Any you'd recommend?
