Reflect on Healing’s Earth Scars: It’s Never Too Late

It is very satisfactory to know that there are people and governments that see the importance of saving and maintaining our biodiversity. It is important to realize that the starting point is “education” to understand how to use the resources in a healthy way, where we don’t alter the ecosystem, also to learn how to stop harming our environment and to be taught the ways that we can restore the damages that have been done. How nature has the ability to fluorish after being devastated is so amazing and at the same time once it is restored it can bring life back and can be habitats for other species again. I remember when I was a little girl the most important river in my city “Rio Bogota” was so contaminated that it even had a horrible smell and at that time I never thought it was possible that it could be cleaned. In some way technology has been bad but at the same time it has given us the chance to pay back the damage that we have done by being able to clean the water through different systems, eventhough it might be expensive, it is the least thing we can do for our planet and for our own future. When I think about it, it seems like there is not much a single person can do to be productive but after reading these articles and watch the videos related to this subject, I now realize that one person can do extraordinary things when it comes to the intent of saving endangered species. For example; one person can raise money then use the money to educate the population about the importance of endangerment. After all the destruction, contamination, deforastation and scars that we have left on this planet any time is a good time to start changing the way we think, the things we do and the way we teach our children. In reality the future of this ecosystem depends on the way our children act with it and it depends on us to teach them the right and the wrong way. In closing, eventhough we have caused the damage we are given a second chance to make our planet a better place to live.
