Nature plays a significant role in supporting the survival of living beings on the planet Earth. Due to our selfish needs, we have left no stone unturned to exploit the natural resources. If the reckless use of nature and its precious continues at an alarming pace, our upcoming generations won't get an opportunity to leverage the natural resources.
The significance of celebrating the World Nature Conservation Day is to create awareness among people about the risks of overexploitation of natural resources, and the immediate need to protect them. There are countless reasons why we should preserve the nature and its resources, some of them include:
To maintain ecological balance and therefore support life.
To make sure that the upcoming generations are able to access the natural resources.
To ensure protection and preservation of biodiversity at all levels.
To support environmentalists in preserving the natural resources and ensure that the human race survives.
To treat nature with care and love so that we can avoid natural disasters and live in harmony.
