The Earth Charter Principles in Action

Taken From http://milgistrust.wildlifedirect.org/category/samburu/

I believe this image and the episode from the BBC Series entitled Human Planet- Rivers, could be used to discuss the Earth Charter. This image and an excerpt from the Episode Rivers shows tribes men from Milgis Lugga waiting for elephants to dig up water from a dry river bed. Once the elephants have left, the tribes men dig the water into wells and drinking troughs for their animals. Once their animals and themselves have had their share of water, the men fill the troughs for the elephants and other wildlife. Truly inspiring. It shows how we as humans can work not only with but in harmony with our world instead of against it. Many lessons to be learnt about sustainable development through this image and the excerpt from the Human Planet series. Certainly shows the first principle of the Earth Charter.
