Why we are not sensitive towards nature and bio-diversity?

Nature and biodiversity have been an integral part of homo sapiens since their evolution on earth and it is immensely important today than before. In the past, during the time of evolution human beings used to rely on utilitarian and tangible goods and services that are produced from the forest. But the terms and conditions have been changed, now people mostly rely on intangible services that the forest provides. It's true, we cannot survive without trees and forests but they can survive easily without us. So it is utterly important for us to show greater concern towards the conservation of forest and trees along with the diversity it holds. But the situation is getting worse each and every day, with the insensitive and irresponsible activities of human beings.

When talking about Nepal, it is an immensely beautiful and highly diverse country in the world but the pristine beauty of Nepal is deteriorating and diminishing each and every day. It looks, no one is there to take the stewardship for the conservation of forests, trees, rivers, lakes, and wetlands of Nepal. If we wait still, and search for someone else to make a better environment for us, it will be too late and hard for us to revitalize and regain those same land having in the same condition tomorrow. So the right time has come to step forward by each and every citizen of Nepal for the conservation of the important assets that nature has bestowed to us.

The country is marching forward to pursue drastic economic development but it disappoints us when the approach of development shows no sympathy towards the environment. We are not considering the impacts of inappropriate and unscientific development because it doesn't show the impacts within an hour. The situation has been further intensified by the unprecedented impacts of climate change. Nepal is the 12th most vulnerable country in the world regarding the impact of climate change and slowly we are witnessing the impacts of climate change. The synergy of our negligence and impact of climate change will proliferate the further impacts and it will create a harsh situation, where we can only watch but can not do anything.

Nothing will be late to start and we can make some significant improvements if we made some changes in our developmental approach and perspectives of utilizing natural resources.
