Quite an interesting story I read today from "Gulf Today (Beta)" titled "Nature advances as humans retreat". I found the majority of what Writer/Editor/Consultant, Meena Janardhan, posited a breath of fresh air but I do hold view points that I feel are equally compelling. Firstly, I really enjoyed hearing about herds of spotted deer, or swamp deer, near Rajaji National park in Haridwar, Dehradun, and Pauri Garhwal districts in Uttarakhand. However, while more people stay inside it only makes sense the animals are less hindered and less likely to get spooked allowing them to investigate areas people typically bustled around all day. While this is good and nice to see I do not believe this is anything more than the way nature typically reacts. The same could easily go the other way around where humans may decide to either stand their ground or allow use of land to others if those others are bears, snakes, or tigers. It was very good learning that the rare sights of Dhauladhar mountain range, part of the Himalayan range in Himachal Pradesh, which became visible in Jalandhar after years as pollution dipped across Punjab. This is cecrtainly a concern for the health of both nature and us as humanity that lives outside in our segregated artificial existences we created. I agree that pollution is an issue for health though I am not so sure some smog affects the Earth so much as it does us as the sky cleared so quickly after only a few weeks of quarantine. The article was cecrtainly a very good read and I'd recommend it but I do also recommend that one keeps in mind that it is not all individual people that work against nature so much as the artificial existence society as a singular organism has created...
