Keep water for birds on your terrace. From my office terrace, I can only see concrete jungle amidst scorching sun.
This universe is 13.8 billion years old (1380,00,00,000 years i.e. One Thousand Three Hundred Eighty Crores years).
Our Earth is 4.5 billion years old i.e. 450,00,00,000 i.e. Four Hundred Fifty Crores years.
Humans entered the picture just six million years (60,000,00 i.e. Sixty Lakhs years ago).
The first modern humans began moving outside of Africa starting about 70,000-100,000 years ago.
We allowed ourselves to evolve, build tools, create civilizations, adapt to our environment, and become the humans we are today.
If we take the life of Universe as a year, we entered the scenario on 31st December almost at midnight!. Yet, we conquered the Earth and ruined it beyond comprehension.
We have absolutely no regards for the species that ruled the mother earth before we trespassed into their territory. Today, we have nuclear ammunition which can destroy all the living creatures including ourselves eight times.! This is bound to happen in another 50,00,000 years. But the Earth survives and evolves again with new species, maybe, in another 100 crores years.
The last Dodo bird was killed in 1681 and the entire Dodo bird species is gone forever. Sudan, a 45-year-old northern white rhino – the final male of his subspecies in existence on the earth, died last year. With him dies millions of years of unique evolutionary biology which will never be repeated.
Let’s not forget this Earth belongs to all. Let’s not behave as if the Mother Earth was waiting for humans to, evolve, conquer and ravish her beyond recognition.
Lets save whatever species that are left on Earth. Let us start from today.
