Man and the Nature

Man is part of the nature and for a long time he has lived with it. But now by choosing a different pathway of life, he alone has destroyed the nature which gave the birth to all of us. Unlike our ancestors we have forgotten our beginning. People destroy forests, and other natural habitats of other species only for selfish motives. But we have never thought that lives of other species have fallen into great danger because of our activities.

Global warming and environmental pollution are the main problems which are caused by human activities. Global Warming has resulted in the increase of sea level and consequently, many islands and coastal areas have already gone under water. Environmental pollution also caused numerous problems to humans and other living beings as well. Because of these reasons, one day our beautiful earth will be a desert where no living being can exist.

So, what is the use of being the most intelligent living being on the earth, if we do not understand the gravity of our own activities. There will be no human race without other beings. We need all of them, and they too have a right to live on the earth. So, first of all, we should understand that the human race will face extinction from this world before any other living being.
