This is a pathetic and heart-rending scene! In the picture given, a bird, cold and hungry, is squatting on a branch of a lonely tree, overlooking the desolation of trunks left after trees were cut down. The bird seems to be asking herself, “Where is my homeland?” No one can look at this picture without helping thinking. Who has deprived the bird of her right to have a home?

Of course, we humans are to blame. We are so development-oriented that we almost can sacrifice whatever natural resources in order to obtain a little material gain. It so happens that we cut trees to clear land for farming and level up a lake to build houses. The result of so doing and other destructive developments is deforestation and uncontrollable desertification, thus driving the wild animals homeless like the scene we see above. This mode of progress is no doubt short-sighted and detrimental in the long run.

Some of the harsh lessons we need to learn: first, we should respect the nature and other animals’ rights to survive. Second, we must waste no natural resources and possibly develop alternative forms of energy to replace the decreasing natural resources. Only in this way can we strike a sustainable development of the world.

In the picture above we see a man, coat and tie, holding in his left hand a fork and in his right hand a knife, is having his delicious dinner. He appears self-content and has a good appetite. In his plates, we find wild life cooked. Looking at this, one cannot but grow sad and feel strongly about the man’s taste. It is just disgusting!

Some people are not fully aware of the importance of wild life protection and hunt and eat wild animals and cause more and more species to be near the brink of distinction. And effect of so doing is appalling and deadly. Thus, we sometimes hear such a story. In a certain area, villagers captured all the wild woofs for their fur and meat. As a result, the ecological balance was disturbed, and hares were reproduced by millions due to the absence of woofs’ effective control of the number of the hares. Consequently, the farmers suffered heavy crop loss in the row of 5 years because of the increase in the crop consumption by the hares. If we disturb the delicate balance, nature will revenge on us.

We should, therefore, learn the lesson. Wild animals are our great friends and need our care and studies. If we protect and love our friends, we are, to some extent, protecting our life tomorrow and the life of our children.
