"Healing Earth’s Scars: It’s Never Too Late" --- Jane Goodall, Gail Hudson, Thane Maynard

Human beings are very wasteful people. We do not seem to care about what our effects have on our land. We build buildings and let them rot and deteriorate until nothing is left and instead of restoring the area and bringing it back to the way it used to look before we conquered the land we leave and forget we were ever there. We leave scars on the land very well knowing the land shall never be the way it was before when it was created.

                Many rivers all over the world are polluted to the point that they are no longer useful as drinking and irrigation water.  Projects to restore the rivers bring back the water quality only half of what it used to be to the point that fish return to the areas but still not to the point that we can use to drink and water our crops.

Unfortunately there are only a select few who care to preserve and restore the land with the grass and plants it once had. They use their own money sweat and labor because no one seems to care as much as they do to sponsor or fund the projects they have in mind. It is a shame that we have turned out be like this. We are very industrialized and live solely in our mini concrete jungles and in our selfish bodies to not care what we are doing to the rest of the world. I give so much appreciation and credit to those who go out of their way to create and landscape beautiful valleys and forests to replenish the earth and the environments around them.
