"Children have a unique curiosity for Nature and for this amazing
planet we call home." So writes HRH The Prince of Wales in his
introduction to It's Up to Us: Building a Brighter Future for
Nature, People & Planet (The Children's Terra Carta).
Join His Royal Highness, author Christopher Lloyd, and 33
amazing award-winning artists from around the world, including Peter
Sís,
Harmony Becker, Wesley Bedrosian, Sally Deng, and Stuart Armstrong from
the
United States, on a beautiful, lyrical, and thought-provoking voyage
through Nature, the threats we face, and an action plan for the future.
It's Up to Us is based on the Terra Carta, a roadmap to sustainability
issued by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and his Sustainable
Markets Initiative. The story explains in lyrical text how Nature
operates in a world without humans. It then shows the damaging impact
People have had on the Planet. It finishes by proposing a series of new
pledges that we can all make - a Terra Carta - to help solve the
problems.
This book has been developed in partnership with The Prince's
Foundation, a charity established by HRH The Prince of Wales to
demonstrate how Nature can be put at the heart of human activities. Half
of all the proceeds from sales will go directly to the work of the
charity, based at Dumfries House in Scotland, UK.
