Happy Earth Day 2019.

The natural world is an amazing and complex web of life in which every species has a role to play, interrelated with everything else that exists. Every single species evolved to be what it is for a biological reason. Each one occupies a particular niche in the grand scheme of life and is needed by other species to thrive and survive. A vast number of animals and plants have gone extinct in recent centuries due to human activity, especially since the industrial revolution. Many others are in serious decline and threatened with extinction, which affects genetic variation and biodiversity, among other issues.

When a species goes extinct, it disappears from its ecosystem, leaving ripple effects on the species left behind. Once this has happened there is no turning back and the extinct species is lost to the world forever.

In consideration of World Earth Day-2019 motto 'Protect Our Species', I would like to appeal everyone to join hands together to protect our threatened species of the Earth.

There are countless reasons why it is important to protect the huge variety of species on our planet. They have enormous value to humans, the other plants and animals in their ecosystems.

Let’s raise your voice and contribute to protecting our threatened flora and fauna.
