What is our role?

Our earth have been undergoing the process of evolution for over 4 billion years now. Our unique biodiversity is the result of this long process. Its unique to different ecosystems and this calls for measures for conserving these biodiversity in their own ecosystems. Over the years if we have learned anything at all from our nature, it is to not upset mother nature.

Nature has its own way of running things balanced. Any addition or subtraction to the nature’s cycle can result in an imbalance which can lead to many negative consequences and even harm the food chain. For example, we know that trees play an important role in our ecosystem. If the trees are chopped off for industrial or any other purpose extensively from one area, various consequences like mudslides, soil erosion, etc arise. This can also result in the lack of habitat for organisms like birds and squirrels that used to live in these trees. Many such disturbances inflicted to the nature can result in a series of consequences which can eventually damage our environment and pose serious threats to the existence of its dependents like us.

As dependents of our environment, our role as humans therefore is to minimize such causes that harm our biodiversity. From helping recycle to planting a seed, the amount of things we can do to save our biodiversity is countless. We can help minimize the disturbances and help run the nature on its own terms thereby guaranteeing ourselves a healthy and bright future. All we have to do is remember: Every bit of effort helps us live a little longer.
