The Beauty of Planet Earth
Sdílet
George Gordon, Lord Byron
"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more." “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
“Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.”

"I want a world without deforestation. Did you know that Borneo is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth - with over 15,000 plant species and 400 different species of animals such as birds, mammals and reptiles? Many of them can only be found here and nowhere else. It’s so important to protect places like this in the world and make sure that they still exist for generations to come."

"The mindset that the natural world is ours to destroy and profit from needs to change. With deforestation encroaching on many important habitats around the world, we need to ask ourselves if our consumption is worth more than these animals' existence. The natural world has been pushed aside by expanding agricultural and urban areas, leaving barely any room for wildlife. Protecting small areas is no longer enough - we need to rewild and give land back to nature."

The largest mammals on earth, African elephants, sleep the least of all - only two hours. Conversely, mountain beavers can nap for 14 hours, which is the longest sleep time of all mammals.
Paul Manger of the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa, who conducted a study on sleeping samples of pachyderms, found that elephants can be awake for up to 48 hours nonstop. "An elephant, which can eat several hundred kilograms of poor quality food every day, spends a lot of time eating, so it has less time to sleep," says Manger.
