| As climate chaos continues to ravage the globe, progressive developments in culture and society have paradoxically heralded an era of growing social stability, connectedness, and enlightenment amidst natural and human-made calamities. Humans are building underground dwellings and above ground glass cupolas which will range in size from that of houses to vast cities. Construction of long tunnels to connect these population centres has began, and enormous dams are being constructed to prevent flooding. Continuous storms rage across the earth's surface, and scientists predict that not much will survive above ground in just a few decades. Agriculture is difficult and expensive, animal and plant life everywhere endangered and on the brink of complete extinction. | As climate chaos continues to ravage the globe, progressive developments in culture and society have paradoxically heralded an era of growing social stability, connectedness, and enlightenment amidst natural and human-made calamities.

| In these extreme conditions, Future Fabulators have become one node in a collective social tissue that works to maintain and evolve connections between culture, nature, science and art within and between communities. Their task is challenging, but the circumstances have actually brought people together to face hardships in solidarity, and the importance of FFab's role in this collective is universally recognised. They focus on experiments in "sustainability in instability", while traevlling on rugged sailing ships, collecting future scenarios in a smart database that turns scenarios into real world, context-aware experiments to be tested out in different communities around the world. The results of the experiments are shared as new fables on climate balance and non-anthropocentric civilisations. FFab's episodic series have dedicated, translocal community of followers. They are closely involved in connecting and translating between several newly emerging institutions and sciences whose focus is the natural world and the rediscovery of ways to live in harmony and equilibrium with ecosystems. School curriculums are centred on ecology, and plant and animal narratives are taught from the earliest age. Communication between plants, animals and humans is becoming a reality. Future Fabulators work to entwine these threads in narratives that connect, inspire and evolve communities, ensuring their resilience and creativity while working towards reinventing civilisation. | In these extreme conditions, Future Fabulators have become one node in a collective social tissue that works to maintain and evolve connections between culture, nature, science and art within and between communities.

| Climate had become so erratic in the last 40 years that we can hardly call this planet friendly anymore. Nevertheless we are very conscious that we bare some responsibility to what is happening. We are willing to put our science and human consciousness at the service of this planet and contribute to heal the disasters that we have participated in creating. It has been decades now that we are impeded to communicate with you. The continuous storms and change in the magnetic fields is cutting us off from any communication channel and our climate continuous disasters are impeding any successful launch of space shuttles to visit the colony. In case this message reaches you somehow, please care to share with us if you have any knowledge that can help us heal our planet and re establish connections. | Climate had become so erratic in the last 40 years that we can hardly call this planet friendly anymore.
