World Nature Conservation Day 2020: Small steps we should follow to protect and conserve nature

On a large scale, a lot has been making rounds to help conserve and protect natural resources. As an individual, we also need to put in our efforts toward nature conservation. Every year, on 28 July, the world celebrates World Nature Conservation Day. This day aims at increasing awareness of the natural resources on Earth and working on its long-term protection. By ensuring a stable, healthy, productive conscious, and sustainable environment, we can look forward to the well-being of the present and future generations.

Nature conservation has gone up on the priority list globally for all the nations, due to problems like deforestation, colonization, pollution, lack of wildlife habitat, loss of forest cover, and an increase in illegal wildlife trade.  Our Earth does not have an unlimited amount of things we need like water, trees, soil, etc and World Nature Conservation Day is marked internationally to spread awareness about the best practices to protect the natural resources. We all must as responsible human beings and participate in protecting and following ways to conserve nature.

How one can live sustainably

For this reason, the Conservation of nature is very necessary. We are being warned even scientists have also warned us about the mass extinctions soon. Several documentaries floating on the internet, about nature also show that resources are being wasted. Due to global warming temperatures increasing day by day, storms and the sea level are also increasing, freshwater glaciers are melting, which threatens lives. We are connected with natural resources. The natural world is facing an increasing threat from unsustainable practices and the challenge is how to preserve and conserve nature to achieve sustainable development. 

Moreover, The prime resolution to overcome pure disasters, international warming, numerous illnesses, and more is to protect the pure sources by creating consciousness. We’re in the center of a pandemic, and preserving nature begins at residence. So take that first step and begin right from your own home. Create consciousness amongst relations, attempt and practice a sustainable way of life to defend and preserve pure sources.

As part of contributing towards protecting the environment and maintaining balance, with thisin mind, here are few things we can start practicing for sustainable life-

• Avoid and discourage the wastage of food, water, and other essential items of regular use.
• Reduce the use of electricity. Save energy by switch off lights, fans, and air conditioners when not in use. We can save energy as well as money too.
• Avoid wasting water and close the tap properly after brushing or washing hands. Try and reduce the consumption of water.
• Avoid excessive use of paper. Plant trees and make the planet green
• Grow your own vegetables. You will be happy to have them chemical-free and organic too.
• Avoid hoarding: Most of the time hoarding leads to wastage. What is required is we should buy need-based items be it food or any other thing. This will certainly reduce the wastage of resources.
• Rainwater harvesting during the monsoon season.
• Use rechargeable batteries, as dry cells/ batteries are not biodegradable and are dangerous for the environment.
• Make people aware of the use of conservation of nature, environment, and energy.
• Recycling: Try to buy reusable and biodegradable products as much as possible. Recycle everything if it is possible.
