Acharya Prashant explains that humanity is moving toward a new relationship with the environment and other species. He notes a historical progression of rights, starting from the rights of man and slaves to the rights of women, and predicts that the current century will see a clear declaration of the rights of all species to survive. This shift is driven by both a deeper understanding of love and harmony, and the practical necessity of physical survival in the face of climate change. He suggests that mankind cannot survive if it does not learn to relate properly with the world outside the human body.
