“Ecosystems, species, local varieties and breeds of domesticated plants and animals are shrinking, deteriorating or vanishing,” says one of the report’s authors, Josef Settele.

The disappearance of habitats, due to expanding farms and cities leaving less room for wild life, which are essential for flora and fauna; and the extinction of species with hunting and pollution “are direct result of human activity and constitute a direct threat to human well-being in all regions of the world.”

Forest are gradually being destroyed which will soon lead to scarcity of oxygen in the air and it will endanger life on earth as no creatures can live without oxygen; he pollutes water and air. Yes, Man’s Folly is his excessive greed which has made him take excessive advantage of Mother Earth with his negativity and violence of his mind. 

“God forgives us always but what is created never forgives.”This Corona virus, with its mortal march from one place to another, seems to be the punishment for the whole world for damaging ecology. It appears to be Nature’s Fury.

The whole world is wrapped with the fear due to hundreds of deaths due to Covid-19. Everyone lives in fear; everyone works in fear; everyone talks in fear; if not all, most of the people on this planet.

Man’s free movement have been curtailed by lockdown; the liberty to watching movies in cinema halls, shopping at crowded malls, attending weddings and religious functions; celebrating birthdays, or family picnics on holidays; going for music classes or to Church for Masses; Man’s freedom of association seems to have been stopped or shortened and some wonder whether we are coming towards the end of our generation.

The much required cosmic balance consists of the opposites in life. Day and night; without its existence life would become dull; male and female, without woman, man would be incomplete. So, are with all other opposite things in life which are interdependent and interconnected. We are part of the natural habitat and earthly system of environment -- flora and fauna are ecological parts. They all play a key role in maintaining the ecosystem balance.  Therefore, we have to take responsibility for our actions. ‘The ‘Right to live’ is not a prerogative of human beings. It applies to animals as well. Without this forceful balance of opposites, life would be chaos.

On the canvas of creation Human beings, are not the only life but the entire creation are wrapped in a cosmic net. So, if humankind is wiped out on this planet, the environment will not miss us at all. In fact, the environment and every other life will be happy without us. This pandemic has really proved that nature can live beautifully without the existence of human beings.

Many scientists today believe in Supreme Being who answers prayers. Researchers are examining the effect of prayers in healing at various medical schools, hospitals and research institutions. 

Indian Council for Medical Research has partnered with Bharat Biotech International Ltd., to fast track clinical trials of the indigenous Covid-19 vaccine to bring out Covid-19 vaccine by Independence Day, August 15, 2020. Merciful God always forgives mankind for his folly; He will save our lives with the vaccine.
