“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.
