Talking straight to the audience, he is clearly concerned that his message be understood by as many people as possible. If we go on satisfying our wants and needs with such tremendous violence on the front line with nature, then, Schumacher says, we can classify ourselves with the endangered species.

Reviews
"Revealing scenes of plants and animals stress their interaction and the need for all forms of life to support one another...machine-ravaged forest, which Schumacher describes as formerly 'like a temple', are seen to be like a scarred battlefield...A highly effective, beautifully photographed film. Recommended for all ages."
