The most thrilling engagement that I have had with the non human world would be a few years ago my family went on a boat trip down in South Carolina. The boat took us out into the various waterways around the Charleston area and we saw various aspects of the precious ecosystem there. The coolest part would be when the dolphins in the area were beaching themselves onto the shore. There were a specific type of dolphins that do that the conductor told us but I forgot what species they were. They had pink spots on their stomachs if that helps. This was probably one of the coolest things I ever seen because the dolphins would just jump out from the water and start beaching themselves on the shores. They would kinda gyrate on the beach and then somehow force themselves back to the water. This experience demonstrated that we do not need television or computers to entertain us but that there is fun from nature.
Saving nature is something that everyone must do because our world is a precious balance of numerous ecosystems and human actions are having a huge impact on this balance. If humans make one species go extinct it does not just harm that one species there are species that may rely on that species to feed themselves. There may be plant species that require that the species that is now extinct for pollination. There is only one planet and preserving nature is also about preserving our futures on this world. Saving nature is not about preserving the environment at the expense of economic growth but rather being good stewards of the planet that we have been given. Destroying nature is a short term focus but to be truly responsible inhabitants of the world we must take into considerations what we are doing and how they affect all inhabitants of the planet.
