Save Mother Nature
The world around us is designated as nature. Every time and for everything, we, all humans, rely on nature. It gives humans, animals, and all other living things on the planet, a place to exist in harmony.
Nature is indeed the mother of all, as it is responsible for our survival. It has been our constant companion. Despite the value of nature in human life, we are destroying its balance only as a result of our selfishness and greed.
Millions of years ago, when man's wisdom was not superior to that of an animal, man relied only on nature to provide all his needs. Nature is a gift to us since it protects billions of organisms that live on the planet. It provides us with trees, which are the Earth's lungs.
Future of Nature
The globe is in peril. And it's our future that's on the line.
The natural world is vanishing at an alarming rate. Our clean air and drinking water, wildlife survival, community prosperity, and nature's potential to buffer us from natural disasters and other escalating impacts of a changing climate are all threatened by the loss of nature.
Climate change and the fast loss of habitat are twin crises that threaten humanity's basic existence on Earth. But only if we do nothing.
We can yet ensure a better future for the world, its species, and ourselves if we respond now.
We need to persuade world leaders to pledge to safeguard at least 1/3rd of land and sea in upcoming decade (by around year 2030-2035).
Steps to be taken
To ensure that life on Earth continues to thrive, we need daring new ideas and strong action from leaders all across the world.
Only 15% of our land and 7% of our ocean are currently protected.
We're on track to meet a worldwide goal of safeguarding 17% of land and 10% of ocean by the end of 2020, but world leaders must step up their ambition — both in terms of spatial targets and Indigenous peoples' inclusion — to protect the natural world.
From the air we breathe and the water we drink to the food we eat and the ecosystem services that counterbalance the devastating effects of climate change, the natural world supplies crucial resources that sustain all life on Earth, including human life. There is no substitute for all of nature's ecosystem services.
Human activities have increasingly damaged and degraded forests, grasslands, wetlands, and other vital ecosystems since the industrial revolution.
Food production, particularly the conversion of pristine natural habitats into agricultural systems, has been the most significant direct driver of biodiversity loss in terrestrial systems in recent decades.
Climate change is expected to become the most important driver of biodiversity loss in the next decades on a global scale.
