New Delhi:
As world leaders gathered in Cornwall to attend the G7 summit, the environmental organisation Greenpeace UK sent out a message to tackle the climate crisis.
The campaign group released a film that showed 300 illuminated drones of endangered animals from all about the world descending on Cornwall. The video features all sorts of animals from a giant blue whale to a tiny yet important bee.
At the get started of the film, a youngster narrator can be heard saying: “Once upon a time, world leaders gathered in Cornwall to decide our future… I hope it’s not too late, I hope the grown-ups in charge wake up… I hope they defend the forests for the animals and people living there”.
The video shows colourful animations and projections via illuminated drones as the animals get started off their journey to Cornwall from organic areas about the world.
In the final moments of the video, all the animals come with each other more than the cliffs in Cornwall and messages such as “Stop Extinction, Act Now” is seen in the sky.
The messages – “Stop Extinction” and “Act Now” – span up to 76 m in height and 122 m in length, according to the group’s official web-site.

The film’s background music was produced by producer and Emmy-nominated composer Hannah Peel, who has scored music for film, theatre and tv, like Game of Thrones. The music was recorded live in Belfast by the Ulster Orchestra.
Along with this, Greenpeace also highlighted that activists staged a protest to provide a direct message to world leaders ahead of the initially talks. In the last moments of the video, the activists unfurled a banner with the identical message -“Act Now” as the US President’s plane is seen touching down in the UK.
“We need to see action, not just warm words, to tackle the climate and nature emergency,” Rebecca Newsom, head of politics for the environmental group, told AFP.
