The responses have been emotional, visceral and enlightening. The talk-backs have allowed communities to come together and share their anxieties and fears about the climate crisis on an emotional level, in a large group. I think this is rare and vital. In Nelson, a community member told us a story that goes back to the 1920’s where two forest rangers were stuck in a cabin that was surrounded by forest fires. They built a fire barrier and as the fire burned around them a number of animals came into the safe area licking their wounds, waiting together until the fire stopped and then went back into the forest.
