Servants of nature

Servants of nature.

Earth is only known planet which sustain life. There are around 8.7 million species have occupied every corner of it ranging from cold Antarctic ice to volcanic vent. All the life forms on earth are linked each other with complex food web .This has transformed earth in to giant a single self-managing organism. All life on Earth exists to sustain, nourish and support all other life on Earth including a humans .

We as species have followed bacterial pattern of population growth .Our population has just crossed 8 billion mark. Till now we have managed to feed us with loads of chemical fertilisers and irrigation facilities, but at a same time we have poisoned water and land. We have dangerously interfered earths fragile climate with green house gases.

Now it is time to payback unreliable extreme climatic events have killed millions around the earth.In 1950s it was believed by the year 2000 world will be disease free but now we are witnessing newer forms of diseases. In 1970s rampant cutting of African rain forest , hunting ,and increased population provide opportunity to parasites like Ebola virus and HIV to jump from animals to humans . We are all part of nature, an indivisible, living community of interrelated and interdependent beings with a common destiny.

We must remember that we cannot survive without mentoring nature’s delicate balance. We are not the alien species which is colonising this planet but we have evolved here. We must not behave as a master of nature but as servant of nature.
