Environment...Wild Life Our Heritage
The nature has ability of repair and renewal in thousands of small and large areas across our country. But successes are proving temporary as ambitious Indians place their commercial self interest above those of nation.
We have sparkling productive forest; rich soils, etc. were the order of the day. All these and many others were the remarkable gifts of the nature to Indians. We were rich in natural resources like fertility of soil, water resources, climate, wild life etc. not so long ago.
Urbanization, industrialization and modernization etc. derailed the environmental system of India. Profit making agencies and our governments constructed dams without once pursuing to establish whether or not the country was profiting for them. Pesticides such as D.D.T., fertilizers, mines, etc. were used in massive quantity. All these and other activities began to disturb the ecosystem. Good and faithful fellows of environment i.e., trees were cut for the sale of timber. Deforestation created many complications and difficulties for wild life. Moreover, many species of wild life began to extinct. Soil erosion, floods, warming of atmosphere, water pollution, etc. are the outcomes of our ill policies and hung for money making.
The above cited tragedies are unfolded over decades after the independence but our politicians and planners berated those who protested against the damage of our ecological base. In this way we are not only economically backward of we are also making ourselves poor in respect of environment.
In fact there are some NGOs, individuals, political parties who are calling to save environment. The efforts made the part of governments and NGOs reflect that they are just calling and doing theoretical practices.
To save wild life and environment we have to some effective real work on ground level instead of pump and show. We should use our knowledge, skill and technology to save the environment instead of damaging it.
