Hey you Humans, Stop cutting Mangroves!!!
We say we need to protect ourselves from natural disasters like tsunamis, floods, draughts, etc. But what measures as an individual have we taken so far to protect ourselves? Nothing at all!
If we really do care about our well-being, then we can start by protecting what is already there with us..
And those are the Mangroves!
Sadly, man has been destroying these precious gifts from nature in the name of development and greed. Most of us must have heard of a quote that goes like, “God helps those who help themselves”. The same can be applied to our present situation. If we can plant, protect and save the remaining mangroves today, very soon a day will come when the mangroves will return their favor by providing us with the much needed protection from natural disasters like tsu-nami and floods. Sometimes we cut the mangroves because we think that these precious plants are of no use. But sur-prisingly, the fact is that they are one of the most beneficial organisms as they also help us by restricting the salt water from entering our city areas and thus protecting Mumbai.
The cutting of mangroves should be stopped or we might have to face the wrath of either God or Nature very soon. The wrath of God can come in the form of a punishment and the wrath of nature can come in the form of natural dis-asters..
And all this might happen only because of a very crucial and important element or organism missing from the environ-ment. So lets protect the mangroves before its too late, for nature and ourselves!
