I happened to go on a tour to some cities of India, including Hyderabad, Jaipur, Agra and Delhi. My tour ended with a visit to the Rashtrapathi Bhavan (the president's house of India).

On my tour, I happened to see various instances of wildlife. When I went to a film city, I happened to visit a Birds Park where they were species of lots of rare birds, some in cages, while some in the open, and also, a Butterfly park too. 

When I went to the Rashtrapathi Bhavan, I saw some Monkeys and also saw pictures of the numerous birdlife in the gardens, etc.

While travelling between cities, I happened to see a few national parks, but the look of the entrances itself made me look apprehensive. They looked uncared for.

If you had been updated with the news, you would have known about the massive flood that hit the Kaziranga wildlife sanctuary in Assam this year (News dated 19th August 2017). 

Kaziranga is a world famous sanctuary and also a UNESCO World Heritage site and is home to a rare population of one-horned rhinos.

With the lash of 2 flood attacks this year, over 30% of the park's land was under water and killed over 334 animals including 22 rhinos, one Royal Bengal tiger, several elephants and over 250 various species of deer.

Now, special care is being taken to prevent the existing rhinos from poachers.

It makes us think, how bad a life as an animal could be? We, could maybe relocate easily to a safer habitat on occassion of a natural calamity, but what can animals do? They cannot protect themselves like we do.

The biggest problem or "SIN" they face is the taking over of their land for our selfish purposes. When they don't have land, they go and compete with other animals in the remaining small land, and as Darwin's saying goes, "the survival of the fittest" occurs and we loose many species in the longer run.

We always tell that how our great grandchildren might see Elephants or Rhinos or Tigers in Pictures only. Well, the current situation might make it impossible for our grandchildren or maybe even our children to see them for real or in the wild. 

Why is it happening? The problem rests in all of us. We have a lot to blame. We normally shift the blame just to governments for lack of proper policy keeping and MNCs for their pollution.

Well, can you reckon the number of times you threw a plastic bag or bottle into an open land area? Can you imagine what will happen if an animal or bird came over and ate that plastic thinking it as food?
It will enter their digestive tract, it wont digest and it will obstruct and lead to death of that animal.

What about the numerous animal products you use for decoration or fashion? The jewellery made of animal bones or a curio at your homes? The more you buy, the more encouraged are the hunters in poaching the animals and the craftsman in making them.

Will you have done the same if it was of a Human being? 

As real ambassadors of the environment, being users of TUNZA Ecogeneration, I feel we all have a responsibility towards the Wildlife. And I hope you feel inspired and make sure to make a difference.
