“It makes no sense to think that we are isolated from the world,” according to journalist and environmental activist Hugo Clément

First of all, what is Vaquita? A small cetacean, from the porpoise family, “which lives in only one place on the planet, the Sea of ​​Cortes in Mexico”. It is the most endangered cetacean in the world, “since there are between six and ten left”indicates the journalist and environmental activist for animal welfare Hugo Clément, on the set of 12/13 info, Wednesday October 4.

“The idea of ​​the Vaquita theorem is to explain that we humans live in a house and that each brick of this house is a species. If we remove a few bricks nothing happens, the day when too many bricks are removed, when too many species disappear, when animal populations collapse too much, the whole house collapses and we all disappear together”illustrates the journalist.

“Concrete front lines on the issue of biodiversity”

“It makes no sense to think that we are isolated from the world, that we are a species that lives in a bubble alongside all the other animals”continues Hugo Clément, who reminds us that man is also “subject to the laws of evolution”. Also the journalist assumes the title of the first chapter of his comic strip, “a new world war”.

“This is not an exaggeration. There are concrete front lines on the issue of biodiversity. There are people in Africa, in Uganda, in Rwanda, who risk their lives, who fight poachers to protect gorillas”says Hugo Clément.
