Pay Heed To Laws Of Nature Or Perish

Humans are a part of the vast nature. Their relationship with nature is complex yet contradictory. People rely on natural resources for their survival. But, at the same time, they resort to excessive exploitation of natural resources for commercial gains. Such activities destroy the nature’s ecosystem. When the human-nature symbiosis is disrupted, the latter reacts in a disastrous manner, becoming merciless towards plants, animals and humans. Consequently, humans succumb to the fury of nature. So are the man-made structures that go up in flames at one stroke or collapse within seconds. The recent monsoon-induced floods and landslides that mainly hit central and eastern Nepal need to be viewed in the broader perspective because the disasters have wreaked havoc in the areas where the people had spoilt the ecology.
