1
The story of us began long ago with a lifeless rock.
2
A long rain turned wasteland into ocean.
3
Algae breathed oxygen into the air, fueling an explosion of life.
4
And when the hot, humid planet finally cooled, Our primate ancestors came down from the trees,
5
explored the new savannah, harnessed fire and raised the civilization from the dirt.
6
But as we prospered, we plundered the land, polluted the air, disturbed a balance four and a half billion years in the making.
7
Now we have a cosmic nanosecond, less than one decade to reverse course.
8
MUSIC PLAYS Conservation International was founded on a simple principle.
9
Humans and nature are connected in profound ways.
10
So we work alongside communities in more than 100 countries,
11
putting science into practice and protecting the irreplaceable.
12
Since 1987, we've been about big, bold ideas.
13
Ideas that others might consider impractical or difficult to implement.
14
Perhaps unproven, certainly unusual, a little bit out there.
15
But our purpose has always been about how we redefine conservation.
16
To change how we do it and for whom.
17
With that mentality, Conservation International and our partners have protected 1.5 billion acres of land and sea over 35 years,
18
benefiting millions of people.
19
And in this decisive decade, we have big goals.
20
First, use the miracle of photosynthesis to slow climate change.
21
By conserving one-of-a-kind places like the Amazon rainforest and the Congo basin,
22
we can store away billions of tons of planet-warming carbon.
23
Second, double the area of ocean under protection to secure food, jobs and marine life for generations to come.
24
And third, develop new economic models that replenish our natural wealth instead of looting it.
25
Industry by industry, we're transforming how humans produce and prosper, starting with farming, fishing and fashion.
26
There's no precedent for what we are trying to do, but we're not doing it alone.
27
We work with thousands of partners around the world to heal our planet and protect our future.
28
Somos pueblos indígenas liderando nuestras comunidades, protegiendo nuestros bosques y agua, conservando nuestra herencia.
29
We are Rangers bringing old wisdom and new science to revive the savannah.
30
We are policy makers trying to do right by our people and our planet.
31
We are government leaders working across borders, languages and cultures to protect the planet we share.
32
We are business leaders proving that good business means doing right by the planet
33
and centering communities in the solutions to protect it.
34
We are the future!
35
And together, we write humanity's next chapter.

Over deze les

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
