Derived from a popular Jamaican creole folk song titled 'Mango Time' which starts "Mi nuh drink coffee tea - mango time/ Care how nice it may be - mango time/ In the heat of the mango crop/ When di fruit dem a ripe an' drop/ Wash yu pot, tun dem dung - mango time", this work of art is a nod to mango season on the island of Jamaica - like other countries in the Caribbean - when the featured fruit is sooo bountiful that it can appear to spill onto streets & into kitchens everywhere. . Published this year by the United Nations Environment Programme @unep is a synthesis report titled '𝑴𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆: 𝑨 𝒔𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄 𝒃𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆, 𝒃𝒊𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒔', "[communicating] how climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution can be tackled jointly within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals. The report serves to translate the current state of scientific knowledge into crisp, clear and digestible facts-based messages that the world can relate to and follow up on". If swifter action is not taken, "our children and their children [are at even greater risk of inheriting] a world of extreme weather events, sea level rise, a drastic loss of plants and animals, food and water insecurity and increasing likelihood of future pandemics" (Sir Robert Watson in article by Seth Borenstein, 'UN: Huge changes in society needed to keep nature, Earth OK', Feb.18, 2021).
