Yesterday we lost a great environmentalist Sunderlal bahuguna who is known as the father of Chipko movement. He always said, "Ecology is a permanent economy" . In the memory of the great soul we are at the verge of celebrating one more international biodiversity day.
Can we imagine our earth without animals, plants and other organisms?
Definitely no! I can not imagine a world without them. There is nothing more important than air, water, soil and biodiversity.
BIODIVERSITY!
Biodiversity makes up all living organisms including plants, animals and microorganisms. In biodiversity, each species, no matter small or big, has an important role to play in ecosystem.
The importance of biodiversity is unimaginable. It provides all natural services. It is the reason for the continuity of the earth and the balance of ecosystem. This is the thing that is keeping us alive. Biodiversity provides a wonder of how things are amazingly beautiful, inspiring and diverse in nature. But this biodiversity, which is a result of over 3.5 billion years of evolution, is now danger.
And definitely, we, humans, are responsible for this. In the present era, human beings are the most dangerous cause of loss of earth's biodiversity. It is said that around 30% of all species on the earth will be extinct by 2050. And this is not ok! Even if a small element of an ecosystem breaks down, the whole system's balance is threatened. Biodiversity is priceless. It cannot be maintained by keeping few species in zoos or by conserving them in national parks. It is together that we will be able to save our biodiversity.
All it needs is to be left alone. Let us all try our best to save our biodiversity. HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY!
