Education of conservation of our natural environment is crucial for continuation of our future. Being human is being part of nature - connected and interconnected with all its wondrous flora, fauna, oceans, rivers & mountains - standing on earth’s floor, breathing in oxygen exuded from trees, looking to sky’s ceiling, licking raindrops – without that floor, that oxygen, that ceiling, that water, we cannot exist.”
