Since the prehistoric times when the man learned to make tools from iron he has advanced to make better and better tools. If man has achieved maximum success in one field , its the field of weapons.
This has resulted in killing of most of the wild life.
Poaching a weapon of tribals to kill tigers, leopards, and even elephants etc in wild life sancturies, has eliminated most of the animals.
People dreaded to go to forests as they were of afraid of wild animals. Wild animals were protector of nature and natural habitat.
Once we talk of wild life for animals but we dont talk about wild life for plants. Both are interdependent. If we destroy wild life plants will be destroyed by over grazing or by human activity.
If wild plants are destroyed wild life will be destroyed as it will not have habitat to live.
If was balancing system of nature to protect plants by providing natural guards like wild animals .
Once this system is destroyed destruction of all animals will follow.
Is man not a highly evolved species but nature does not know this and treats all creatures as equal. Keep nature intact to keep your life intact.
There are no rich or poor nations. There is rich and poor vegetations and living in natural vegetations makes you rich and destruction of natural vegetation makes you poor .
Chose what you want.
