Jane Goodalll:How humans and animals can live together

Jane Goodall·TEDGlobal 2007
How humans and animals can live together
Summary
The answer to how humans and animals can live together is our choice.

The speaker was studying chimpanzees and she found that there’s no sharp line between humans and the rest of the animals' kingdom. Chimpanzees are so like us. They have voices, emotions, and can use tools.
In the past, we lived on the planet with amazing animals, though, we’re destroying the only home we have. We cut trees, take oil, and then it leads to world climate change, droughts, flooding, disease, poverty, and hunger. People have lost hope and they are depressed or apathetic. All these different problems are interconnected and impinge on each other. However, Nature is amazingly resilient, humans have a brain that can use technology.

We can make choices as to how we live each day. What we buy. What we wear. With the question, we can think about how this affects the environment around us and the life of our children when they grow up.
