There was a time my people lived in harmony with our mother nature... We felt one with every animate and inanimate object around us. We lived adhering to the fact that plants, animals, birds, fish, other organism and micro-organism were the building blocks of our serene and tranquil existence. Whatever our religious faiths were, we believed that our love and care for the living nature is essential for our social, physical and spiritual growth.
The amazing freshwater species that lived in our crystal clear streams, creeks, ponds, rivers, rivulets and other waterbodies used to fill our hearts with inexplicable delight. Now most of those creatlures are extinct or on the verge of extinction due to pollution, habitat distruction, overfishing, export, urbanisation, increase in human population, etc.
