In this world that we are
living, we humans are depending on it just like water, food, medicines,
clothes, and homes. But what happens if all these things are used and there are
all going to extinct. Well, we are experiencing it right now that’s why we have
programs about restoring our Earth and preventing it for more damage. Environment
Day is about preventing, restoring, and reversing our environment from getting
damaged. It is about preventing environmental damages to our Earth’s ecosystem.
During this day, people will help the environment grow and restore itself just
like plating trees.
The World
Environment Day is June 5, 2021,
To mark this day we wanted to
highlight the resilient and resourceful farmers we are honored to work
alongside, who are helping to heal their local ecosystems. Ecosystems
are the interaction between plants, animals and people, and their surroundings
such as nature, cities and farms (UN, 2021). For far too long, people have been
exploiting and destroying our Earth’s ecosystems causing the loss of natural
habitats and carbon sinks, which in turn intensifies the climate crisis. We all
depend on healthy ecosystems for our survival. Calamities and crisis
that we all are experiencing is what we have done. It is all our fault that our
Earth is dying and we should be ashamed to the God because it was given to us
to protect and not to destroy it. But we humans are not doing that instead we
are doing its opposite. If we are going to analyze the things that is happening
in our world, those big companies are the ones who are mainly destroying our
ecosystem. They don’t mind their surroundings but all they have in their mind
is their money that they will going to produce in that kind of activity that
they are doing. Mining, Illegal fishing, deforestation, urbanization; these are
just some of the things that have greatly effect in destroying our environment.
Locals like farmers, fishermen’s, and people who are living in the uplands are
the one we should thank to because they are the one who are in capable of
caring our environment. The theme for Environment Day 2021 is Ecosystem
Restoration.
Ecosystem restoration means assisting in the recovery
of ecosystems that have been degraded or destroyed, as well as conserving
the ecosystems that are still intact. Healthier ecosystems, with richer
biodiversity, yield greater benefits such as more fertile soils, bigger yields
of timber and fish, and larger stores of greenhouse gases. Restoration
can happen in many ways – for example through actively planting or
by removing pressures so that nature can recover
on its own. It is not always possible – or desirable – to return an
ecosystem to its original state. We still need farmland and infrastructure
on land that was once forest, for instance, and ecosystems, like societies,
need to adapt to a changing climate.
We
humans can do the things that are possible and impossible if we work together.
Together we can restore our Environment to its healthy state. We wouldn’t want
for the next generation to experience the consequences for the things that we
have done. All thanks to this pandemic that are ecosystem is healing all by
itself.
“Only with healthy ecosystems can we enhance
people’s livelihoods, counteract climate change and stop the collapse of
biodiversity.” – UN, World Environment Day, 2021.
