This allegorical painting is a reminder to be conscious of the world outside of one's immediate environment in these times of narrowing political ideologies. A Giant Panda, the most powerful symbol of species conservation in the world, sits in a small section of bamboo forest as destruction imposed on precious habitats by threats such as logging and climate change occurs all around. The Chinese proverb “Each generation will reap what the former generation has sown” is translated into the dead language of latin to illustrate the warning that mankind doing nothing to save the environment is at his own peril. The painting is separated by a cross into distinct areas of dark and light and contains the following quote by Edward O Wilson "The one process now going on that will take millions of years to correct is the loss of genetic and species diversity by the destruction of natural habitats. This is the folly our descendants are least likely to forgive us.”
