1. The document outlines a proposed animation that begins with a zoomed out view of the landscape showing natural colors and sounds. 2. It then zooms in to show early land uses by indigenous people and settlers before transitioning to increased development and changes in the 1800s and 1900s, accompanied by the introduction of invasive species and pollution. 3. The animation depicts modern characters with concerned looks realizing the environmental changes, but then colors start to brighten as best practices fill the screens, showing solutions through collaboration and networking.
