Reading Shiva's article was very aggravating to me because there is nothing worse than seeing many amazing species become endangered or extinct due to the selfishness and carelessness of the human race.
The numbers are devastating.
Although some do not have the same deep passion for the environment, animals, and plants, I would think that they would at least have the decency to try and put forth an effort to conserve our resources and be aware of the lives at stake.
It is unbelievable and incredible how our world works.
I admire the way Shiva words the idea that “Biodiversity is the very fabric of life”.
Without biodiversity, we lose the variety of plants and animals that help nourish the food chain and make our world thrive.
I have always been very passionate about animals and all life forms but I gained something else last year when I took a trip to Costa Rica for an ecology project to help save and study the endangered Leatherback Sea Turtle.
These and all of our world’s other amazing creatures deserve to live here, like Goodall mentions.
The ecology project made me aware of the many species’, both animals and plants, threat.
I enjoyed Goodall’s article more than Shiva’s because it shared many stories of people all over the world who went against the odds-who showed perseverance.
It sparked a fire inside me to try and think of ways to personally get out there and help save our Planet.
Goodall concludes, “Without
hope nothing will change”.
It is a good feeling to know that each and every one of us has the power to pursue a better world with nature’s “resilience”. The pictures above were taken on my trip to Costa Rica as we helped escort these beautiful tortugitas to their new world and also planted our very own trees.
