This animation movie of just under two minutes uses “a daily life” perspective, and it expresses the message that “We can’t change the past but we can change the future”. I believe so too. The message continues to call for “one third of the world oceans to be declared as marine protection areas”. They say there is a historical opportunity to achieve it this year. Will you also believe in that chance and act with us? It is not big companies or big countries but it is always our individual voices that form a public opinion and change the world. -Daisuke YOSUMI, writer
