Brown reports that there are reasons to be hopeful about the fate of the planet according from Earth optimists. The Earth Optimism movement began 10 years ago as a series of lectures by Nancy Knowlton, a coral biologist now at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington DC. The movement wants to shift the narrative on the environment to celebrate a change in focus from problem to solution, from a sense of loss to one of hope. Conservation biologists such as Balmford, who works on conflicts between biodiversity and farms at the University of Cambridge, were the first to get on board. Psychologist Steven Pinker at Harvard University says that the movement highlights positive stories to show people that seemingly insurmountable environmental problems can be fixed.
