Ebbing Life
Image courtesy: India.com Fellow Earthians, We are not alone. We share this planet with countless other life forms. (Though I doubt the rhinos which we shoot for their horns, or the orangutans whose habitats we lay waste to periodically will agree that we humans are capable of sharing anything. The ten vaquitas left would certainly disagree.) Above we can see a few of them. We are not the first ones to see them, but we may be the last . Endangered Species Day is observed every year on the third Friday of May. It is a day to learn more about the species we haven't failed yet , and acknowledge the action being taken to protect them. And yes, action is being taken. For instance, India's wild tiger population has increased by 33% since 2015. As we countdown to this day, let us remind ourselves of the millions of lives which we can still save.
