What Can We Do For Our Mother Nature?

“Simply having convention which says you must not make species extinct does not make a blind bit of difference.” Earth is full of plants whether those are in water or on land living with all animals before the man came on earth and interacted with plants and animals. 

            As time passes by, the knowledge of human being is getting smarter and their population increases until it became one of the most common problems of nature that causes its destruction and some parts of wildlife extinct.

            Nowadays, ecological crisis is getting more critical. The number of endangered species increases. It is because of excessive hunting, exposure to pesticides and other pollutants, as well as ongoing competition of species. The most important cause is habitat loss as a result of human exploitation and encroachment.

            Most of the countries are having open season to avoid excessive hunting. Countries like Philippines are having programs and laws to contribute and to help in saving or conserving the Mother Earth such as “One Billion Trees” by President Noynoy Aquino. Having floods in most part of the cities of the Philippines during rainy or stormy make some of the Filipino citizens be aware to our Mother Nature, but most of us still don’t. The number of undisciplined Filipino citizens is greater than the number of disciplined, so some agencies of the Philippines are enforcing laws which concern a lot about our mother nature. 

            I am hoping that our government can still maintain their confident desire for disciplining Filipinos in order to make our environment better than before. We must also encourage the others to open their eyes and enlighten their minds about the occurrence of our environments, so that they’ll be aware, too, and they’ll help us to solve our problem.

            In present, it seems that it’s impossible to return our nature to its former state, but if we are with God, nothing is impossible to recover our nature and to live with it properly as long as we can. And if we are with Him, we can gain stronger hope, guidance, and wiser brain to think and to have ideas for solving the problem, such as ecological crisis.

            I, as a Filipino and science student, will always be ready to obey the rules of our government for a better life, better country, and better future and especially for our environments and health.  The best things that we can do to solve our problem are praying, planning wisely and applying the actions.
