In recent years, it has become very popular to talk about conserving the nature as if it is a bolt-on addition to the countryside. Of course nature is, and always has been, an integral part of the countryside.
What are we doing to protect our surroundings? Garbage heaps are increasing and disposal of waste seems a ridiculous task. People are showing careless attitude towards plants and animals and thus harming our dear ecosystem.
As a student, what have you done to protect this environment? Do you know why we need to conserve our wildlife? We must make a very serious effort to conserve the plants and animals worldwide. Plants are very essential for our own survival. Plants use the sun's energy to make their food—a process which is called photosynthesis as we all know..
Therefore plants are the basic link of the food chain in which humans also form a part. During photosynthesis, oxygen is released and oxygen is basic need for the existence of life itself.
Our own survival may be threatened if we cause too much disruption to the natural processes that occur on this Earth. Destruction of rain forests, , has also reduced the local rainfall. A further reduction in rainfall can increase desert areas.
We need to preserve our wildlife too. We use many plants and animals to supply us with food, materials, chemicals, etc. If we continue to exploit these resources to a point where they cannot replenish themselves, they will no longer be available to us.
Gradually if we manage to destroy most of the world's animals and plants, the Earth will become a barren land with not even a single blade of grass. For a moment, let us just stop being selfish. Do we have the right to destroy animals and plants which have as much right as us, humans, to share this planet ?nah ,we don’t have any such thing like that.
All life on Earth, be it humans, animals or plants, is the product of millions of years of evolution. This tiny planet is the only one we know of on which life exists. Therefore, we need to learn to co-exist with the species which have evolved with us, and take active steps to ensure their survival.
