Nature is sacred, and humans should harmoniously coexist with the natural world. Nature is not a separate sphere; it is a human world. Nature is just humanity's greatest source of inspiration and hope.

Dear reader, consider this an invitation to connect with the natural world in profound and unexpected ways, witnessing and safeguarding the world's wonders. Nature is everywhere; not seeing the same is a sign of 'conscious blindness.' What is required is to understand. The very existence of nature, the eternity of nature. It means you felt pulses of the Mother Earth with you. It means you are so aligned with the entire creation. It means you are being one with nature, and it means your five senses and beyond are sharpening. Careful observation would reveal more living natural beings than you might expect, wherever you live. Waves on the sea, storm clouds in the sky, the clear sunset and its peach color, and the bird singing are all worthy of our attention.

Experience nature, be a true explorer, touch, connect, and understand nature! Nature watching demands slowness and attention. It demands that we pause, that we listen, that we care, that we see.

And it's about the soil, the trees, the rivers, the sea and oceans, and the wind. It evolves into understanding the delicate interplay of ecosystems, the leaf litter turned over by superb lyrebirds, the seed dispersed by cassowaries, and the flowers kissed into bloom by honeyeaters. A single bird or dragonfly becomes a prism through which to view the entire ecological web, a window into the world, and a thread connecting us to nature. We should understand the fragility of the natural world. To fall in love obsessively, irrevocably, and foolishly with the magic natural world around us.

Simple—open your eyes, step outside, and look upon the world around you. You could see the beauty and destruction, the joy and tragedy of life around you. And once you are in love with nature's beauty, there is nothing you wouldn't do to protect this fragile, extraordinary world. Your garden is a bustling community, a miniature ecosystem teeming with life. The plants and animal visitors that arrive bring their own kind of magic. These creatures are more than just passers-by; they are messengers carrying symbols of luck, transformation, and wisdom.

A garden full of bees is a sign of a healthy, thriving ecosystem. Their constant buzzing is a reminder of the power, community diligence, and sweet rewards of hard work, collaboration, and productivity. Hedgehogs, squirrels, frogs, slugs, spiders, and ladybugs are all garden creatures and a sign of beautiful life. By fostering a garden that welcomes all forms of life, you create a beautiful space, a sanctuary rich with wisdom and wonder. And more about wonderful nature... The graceful flight of dragonflies along a lake, pond, or stream is one of the summer's best shows.

Can you imagine...dragonflies have remained unchanged for over 250 million years, according to fossil records. And on average, an adult dragonfly may live up to six weeks. Nature with all its sublime beauty. Whether by air, land, or sea, there are so many ways to celebrate nature and diversity on this gorgeous planet. The human species is capable of both immense love for nature and great destruction. Population growth,

Neoliberal economic policies are human activities that cause damage to the environment on a global scale. Human connection to nature has declined. The current reality is marked by a deep imbalance, where our technological advancements and consumerist culture driven by greed and self-interest have placed humanity in a state of conflict with the natural world. And we never seem to learn that we are all human beings dependent on one another, that we must exist within nature, rather than believe ourselves masters of nature. And while humans are a part of nature, their actions often have adverse effects on the environment. The industrialization and modernization of society have led to a massive imbalance in the relationship between humans and nature. The adverse effects of climate change, pollution, and environmental degradation are evident worldwide.

With the advent of modern civilization, the exploitation of nature for economic gain and the pursuit of technological advancement have led to an increasingly fraught relationship between humans and the natural environment. The defining task of the 21st century with the UN is making peace with nature. But it seems humanity has an innate tendency toward conflict instead of being more cooperative and kind in its inherent nature, offering paths toward greater respect for the environment and among people. And why is it more complicated to involve cooperation and diplomacy? Unfortunately, humanity is the most destructive species.

Thomas Hobbes believed that mankind's natural state is barbaric, selfish, and warlike, and it is only by organizing ourselves into a civilization that we can move beyond these self-centered impulses. While Jean-Jacques Rousseau believed the opposite, our state of nature is naturally kind, and society itself is a corrupting force. Human nature and the organization of states lead to war. Whether humanity could love nature or humans are naturally inclined towards war?

This for sure involves complex philosophical questions about human nature, but we have to believe that it is a necessary goal to strive for. Humanity is waging war on nature. Biodiversity is collapsing, and ecosystems are disappearing before our eyes. We have many environmental problems. And just by making life harder for other species, humans will also be impacted by it. We have much more to lose by things like having our habitat shift than a whale, which just moves to a different stretch of the ocean, or a dolphin or polar bear. Forests cover one-third of the Earth’s landmass, serving as vital pillars for environmental, health, and human well-being. And forests play a pivotal role in mitigating climate change through a process called carbon sequestration. We need to halt deforestation and biodiversity loss. Nature-based solutions like forest restoration are powerful in combating climate change.

Indigenous peoples and local communities are guardians of forests, reminding us that the future of forests lies in the hands of those who care for them most. Let’s hear the ‘Silent Cry of the Forest,’ powerful and inspiring quotes from Jane Goodall, one of the most influential figures on climate change and animal rights, the world’s foremost expert on chimpanzees, and a renowned zoologist: What are we doing to our planet? How we are destroying forests, we’re polluting the ocean and the air and the rivers, we are spraying poisonous chemicals on our food… We have to work with young people today so that we try to raise new generations to look after this poor old planet better than we have, before it’s too late.

We certainly don’t want to live in a world without great apes, a world where we can no longer marvel at the magnificent flight of bold eagles or hear the howl of wolves under the moon, a world not enhanced by the sight of a grizzly bear and her cubs hunting for berries in the wilderness. And what would our grandchildren think if these magical images were only to be found in books? Every single day, we are having an impact on the world around us, and we need to decide to make a difference and save the animal kingdom.

Our unscrupulous behavior and the climate crisis are shaping the future of our oceans. Nations like Australia, Canada, and Norway have advanced ocean accounting and ongoing blue economy initiatives, and many countries in the Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America (Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Maldives), and other nations are part of a growing group transitioning from ocean accounting concept implementation and international collaboration. And with coordinated efforts from policymakers and scientists, they can ensure that the ocean continues to sustain livelihoods and biodiversity for generations to come. U.S. President Donald Trump recently signed a proclamation opening the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument to commercial fishing.

According to Trump, commercial fishing, when appropriately managed, does not harm objects of scientific and historic interest because tuna and similar fish are migratory and not permanent residents of monument waters, and opening the space to commercial fishing would not necessarily harm them. Conservationists are worried this move will erase years of biodiversity progress in the zone because of prioritizing commercial interests over environmental stewardship. The restrictions were designed to protect the space home to coral reefs and endangered species.

The seabed is scraped by industrial fishing nets; they raze wonderful coral reefs, suffocate ocean biodiversity, and release carbon stored for centuries beneath the seafloor. Also, Trump’s administration has announced that it would open up Alaska’s wilderness to oil and gas drilling. And this will destroy 1.56 million acres of untouched wilderness in the U.S.

Sir David Attenborough’s message is unmistakable: We are destroying the seafloor with the same carelessness that caused land-based deforestation. Unlike the Amazon or the Congo Basin, ocean destruction has occurred behind closed doors until now. These nets for capturing fish also capture coral, sponges, sea turtles, sharks, rays, and anything else that gets in their path. And to protect uncharted ecosystems, we need a deep-seabed mining moratorium. Deep-sea mining is the process of extracting scarce minerals over 200 meters deep, comprising approximately two-thirds of the ocean floor.

Collecting minerals from the deep sea enables green technology and clean energy, but the implications for the marine environment may be severe. Yet, the International Seabed Authority (ISA) has approved 31 exploration contracts, with mining activities beginning as early as 2026. Mining the deep ocean could have huge environmental impacts: habitat degradation (affecting species like worms, clams, oysters, sponges, and sea stars) and the discharge of toxins and carbon reserves. Deep-sea mining could have long-lasting consequences on the planet and society and would cause ecological collapse that the world cannot recover from. So far, 37 countries have supported a temporary ban on mining activities on the ocean floor. Advanced technologies help solve the materials dilemma.

AI, for example, can aid in more precise and optimally efficient mineral exploration and processing to boost the supply chain efficiency. The human-nature relationship requires a shift in human attitudes and behavior towards nature, including greater awareness and appreciation of the interconnectedness of all living things. Deforestation, pollution, and climate change have had devastating effects on the natural world. Only by recognizing and respecting the value of nature can we ensure a sustainable future for ourselves, future generations, and all living creatures on the planet. Human-nature relationships can foster a sense of environmental stewardship, leading individuals to become more aware of their impact on the natural world and work towards conservation efforts, and admire and respect the beauty of nature.

By understanding the importance of preserving nature and our ecosystem, we can work towards a better future for both humans and the environment. Caring for the land and other beings, and an active awareness that we need to preserve nature for future generations. Nature is constantly creating new life within its sphere, taking people to their deaths through torrential rains, cyclones, earthquakes, and other natural disasters. How nation-states react to such changes within nature will determine who survives and who perishes. Mankind keeps struggling with one devastating war after another, despite astounding achievements in the fields of science, technology, and the new humanities. And the moment when the spring of war will no longer be alimented, and the trillions spent in armaments will be spent to create a better world in peace and in harmony with nature.

We believe life on Earth will continue, and humans on Earth will most likely continue. But what is at risk is human life as we know it, and a lot of species will die because we meddle.

What about watching nature?

They are watching us. We are unaware of our surroundings—surveillance cameras. Unfortunately, the whole globe is under surveillance. This is actually scary. The bird that lives in a gilded cage still lives in a cage. The thing with caged birds is that they don’t even know that they are not free. And this is our future…for all humans on the earth.
