Ecosystem Restoration of the World Environment Day 2021

 

        This year's theme for World Environment Day 2021 is "Ecosystem Restoration," with the focus on Reimagine, Recreate, and Restore.

        This theme emphasizes the need of rehabilitating our environment and restoring our ecosystem to its original state. The United Nations has already set aside this decade (2021-2030) for the preservation of our ecosystem for this purpose. Our forests plants are on the verge of extinction due to urbanization, industrialization, and a variety of other human acts. According to a United Nations estimate, we are losing about 4.7 million hectares of forest per year (an area greater than Denmark).

        Our ecosystem is in charge of restoring the life cycle, but pollution and industrial waste have severely harmed it. As a result, the theme for this year encourages us to restore our ecosystem before it is too late. We must resolve that no additional human action will degrade the natural beauty of our environment (wild and aquatic life, trees, and scenery). The global pandemic Covid-19 also taught us the value of trees as a source of oxygen in the ecosystem.

        We began it all, and we're the ones who have to deal with the environmental devastation we've caused. We must establish a connection with our surroundings. Its beauty must be restored. Preventing, halting, and undoing the harm we've done.
