Breathing a breath of fresh air is wonderful. Nature has a range of colors, smells, and textures to offer us. In all its immensity, it is capable of sheltering more than a million life forms and birthing the existence of these animal and floral species. However, with the evolution of humans, the work of mother nature has been destroyed. Replaced by cement, plastic and other systems, we have built artifacts that improve the way of life of humanity. It's amazing how nature can react to its destruction. Although it seems illogical, it is as if mother earth had to develop a deadly virus that would paralyze humanity in order to heal itself.
In 2019, no encouraging news was reported regarding the environment, and everything pointed to an inevitable extinction. However, by the beginning of 2020 a virus unexpectedly paralyzed the world. The agony, the pain, and the suffering that we felt took center stage in the world while we were locked up. From one moment to another, the big cities, and the small ones, were all desolate as if people never existed. For the first time one could hear the birds flying and singing. They were always there, but noise pollution prevented us from hearing them. A near three months without going out, and little or no use of cars, was enough for nature to rest from the mistreatment we had given it. This is the exact reason why we need more nature reserves in our world.
