Lyrics
Ooo -ooo,
Reversing the Red.
[Verse 1]
Watching tigers from camera traps, oh wow!
We’ll save this species, we pledge, we vow.
Saving African Penguins or Botha’s Lark,
Conservation isn’t always a walk in the park.
When economies trump nature, we can feel alone,
Dictators and wars chill us to the bone.
Now the I U C N has brought us together,
For a sense of purpose, and talks that pleasure.
[Chorus]
Together, we can save a species,
Across the lands and in the seas.
Together, we can protect the planet,
Make a change – let’s plan it.
Together, we can Reverse the Red,
With every action, we move ahead.
Saving species is the mission,
Of the Species Survival Commission.
[Verse 2]
Thanks to Jane and Jon and presenters all,
What we now have is a rolling ball.
Local communities, princess and environmental minister,
Conservation done together isn’t sinister.
Success we have seen,
Right here on the screen,
Cockies, ibises, turtles, and trees,
From the highest peaks to the deepest seas.
Brave folk working hard and having fun,
In forests, snow, rain, and sun.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Together, we can save a species,
Across the lands and in the seas.
Together, we can protect the planet,
Make a change – let’s plan it.
Together, we can Reverse the Red,
With every action, we move ahead.
Saving species is the mission,
Of the Species Survival Commission.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
We have a Global Biodiversity Framework,
With twenty-three targets, it’s a bit of homework.
Assess, plan, and act,
Conservation works, that’s a fact.
You’ll need patience and time,
To halt that biodiversity crime.
Get to know your environmental laws,
Get involved, join the cause.
Send an email or get on the phone,
Conservationists: you’re not alone.
Reverse the Red.
Enough said.
[Instrumental]
