Right from the big bang, earth has been evolving. Only thing that is constant is change. What started as volcanic lava soon turned to solid rock, which got disintegrated to soil. With vegetation life came into existence, then slowly over a long period of time countless creatures made earth their home. Dinosaurs, the most powerful of them ruled the earth. Then a celestial object struck the orbiting earth, which marked the end of an era. Dinosaurs and many of the living organisms became extinct. This was about 6.5 crore years ago.
Why am I telling you this? Before I answer lets see what came next.
Fast forward ... and human race came into existence with a lot many creatures. This time power did not rule the earth, intelligence did. Earth is now divided into nations. Man-made nations. This is mine, that is yours. Where do the animals go? Well, there are reserved forests. Yeah, there are. How free are they? How long will they be free? That is a different topic altogether. What's true is man is destructing the earth... burning fossil fuel, polluting the environment, depleting the ozone layer, creating a dark carbon layer around the earth, all this leading to what is known as the Green House Effect. Not the end still. Man has been mining, destroying the forests for various reasone. Madagascar, which has 85% of the species which are found only in Madagascar's forest, has only 20% of it's original forest cover left. What does it mean!
Baobabs trees are found in Madagascar and are believed to be holy. That is the reason only these trees have been spared.
In short, man is the only creature who owns the earth and is destroying it left-right-centre.
Why am I telling you this? Before I answer lets see what came next.
Earth has nothing to lose. All that the earth loses because of unwarranted destruction will be made up after man's extinction in only a few lakh years. Who is at loss? It is man himself and with man all other innocent living beings.
