We all know about the bad effects of human activities on our Environment. Deforestation, Global Warming , loss of habitat, species extinction etc. are only of few dozens problems that are human creating. As some reports says that half of the population of world will face water scarcity by 2050. Just one question is it enough to stop the climate disaster(not climate change as it has already started).
Many organizations and governments are trying to conserve our natural resources for future generations . But is it enough to just to conserve them? What about the exploited ones?. Now , conserving natural resources is not enough to protect our environment from being completely exploited by human activities.
Ecological restoration focuses on repairing the damage human activities have caused to natural ecosystems and seeks to return them to an earlier state or to another state that is closely related to one unaltered by human activities. Ecological restoration is distinguished from the practice of Conservation, which is primarily concerned with preventing further losses to ecosystems.
If will not restore our ecosystem then, conserving them for future use will be also not much useful. Restoring ecosystem is new theme for World Environment Day(5th June, Day on which I'm writing these article), restoring ecosystem is not only good for our environment but also good for humans as well (as humans are also connected with ecosystem).
Some
human-activities such as the use of chemicals can damage fragile ecosystems,
the garbage we produce pollutes land and water and production of energy we use
results in harmful emissions that contribute to climate change. Reversing these
effects and restoring the environment is a complicated process comprised of
various that differ in different places and circumstances. Active restoration
of environment includes small community such as planting trees in garden or in
backyards.
We can also
do a lot of things at our own individual level to help the planet to restore.
One of the best ways to contribute to environmental restoration is help to
reduce the need for it in the first place. Such as recycling materials (paper,
plastic etc.). We can also switch off our vehicles on red light to decrease the
emission from our vehicle. Instead of using any vehicles (which uses fossil
fuel) to travel short distances, we can use bicycle or can simply walk. We can
switch of the lights after use, which will result in less emission of heat from
our house. We can plant much trees as we can, and also we can help in to
restore the environment by donating money much as we can to those NGOs or
groups which are helping the planet.
On this World environment day, instead of just sharing greetings on our social media accounts , let's take an action towards our environment. Let's make our Environment more safe for our future generation as well as for today's generations
