00:00Hi, today I'm going to talk to you about birds.
00:18It's really more than a passion, it's a way of life.
00:22So we say that young people are much more sensitized than before to these issues,
00:26it's true, but I think that it's the whole population that is more sensitized than before.
00:32Many adults are more sensitized than before.
00:36But that's not why we see a real change taking place.
00:40What I would like to do is to work in the fields,
00:42try to produce food while respecting biodiversity as much as possible,
00:46then have a field, build my house with ecological materials,
00:51try to minimize my impact on biodiversity.
00:54I think I'm going to focus on that, but otherwise I can't really project.
00:59I don't know what society will be like by then.
01:02So behind this red door, there is a street that leads to meadows, to forests.
01:08So it's also a bit of a place where I love to come to observe the wildlife,
01:13to try to get a little bit of this biodiversity.
01:19Do you come here often?
01:21Yeah, every day actually.
01:23Since I'm studying at home, I have time to come.
01:41It has shown that young people can also bring their opinion on things,
01:45their way of seeing the world.
01:47So yes, I find it inspiring.
01:49After that, I was already interested in these subjects before,
01:52so I can't say that I don't consider it as a model or as a source of inspiration.
02:02I dream of a world or a society where we stop looking for a constant economic growth.
02:12I dream of a society where we learn to cohabit with the wildlife.
02:16I dream of a society where we give more value to what makes sense.
02:21And for me, what makes sense is the farming in the cities,
02:24it's nature in the cities, and it's not, like I said earlier, these beautiful taut lawns.
02:30I dream of a society where we no longer use the word bad grass, the word harmful species.
02:35These are words that make no sense.
02:37I dream of a society where plastic is no longer king.
02:40I dream of a society where the soils are spared by phytosanitary products,
02:46all these pesticides that poison everything.
02:48I dream of a society where we completely re-evaluate our ties with the wildlife,
02:53where we no longer consider ourselves as the boss of the wildlife, as the manager of the wildlife,
02:57where we let go of our thirst for control of the wildlife.
03:01Yes, really a society as resilient as possible,
03:04which for me has as much meaning as possible, based on simpler values,
03:07but much deeper than the respect of the wildlife.
03:11I think it's something we have to work on,
03:15which has to motivate a lot of people, because it's motivating to say to yourself,
03:19we're going to try to create a new society, it's something motivating.
03:23But besides that, besides motivation, it's a necessity.
03:27This must really be understood, whether it's complicated or not complicated, it's a necessity.
