This is 21st century, the age of modernisation more or less I say; "Technocratic Age". The age of achievers where anything can be made possible using state-of-the-art tools as few broadminded postulates. This fact cannot be denied outright to some extent qua today's human race has been broadened its purview but this nip and tuck to the same extent has helped us in dragging the humanity-, the very soul for which the word human known. Today, standing at the helm of revolutionary idea between 4th and 5th stage of industrial revolution, we have come so far that forgot the very thing; "Mother Earth" is also a shelter for those who are equally significant as we are. Yes, my implicit indication towards the plants, animals lives and everything which is in sync with us in maintaining and sustaining the Ecology.
If we turn the pages of human history, we will find; that's not human who evolved first but plants and animals.
This journey from unicellular organism to today's "Homos Erectus" is followed by changes that took place in the evolution of Earth with human race which was backed by those ( plant, birds, etc.) whom we are dominating today in the name of Growth, Development, and Progress.
How many of you like riding a bike or car or taking a tour of city or nearby place in your leisure? I would say almost everyone who is reading, I too, take a fine interest in it. But, how many of you honk the horn without any reason. You don't but many do it. Do you know to what extent traffic noise affects the life of birds?
Roadside habitats are important for many plants, insects, mammals, and birds. There is mounting evidence which shows that traffic noise can have several negative consequences on animals. Loud noise known to have lessen the capability of birds to communicate and even attract mates. A study is done on Willow Warbler proposed that traffic noise reduces their breeding success.
Study by international research project released in a publish; young songbirds just like human children vulnerable to the effects of noise because of its potential to interact with learning at critical development stage. Don't you readers think, there is need to equally empathize with the children of songbird as we human with ours.
These two studies on willow Warblers and songbirds conspicuously question the very humanity of human race what we are known for. Isn't it a sole possession on the resources the Mother Earth has given and domination on those with whom it commands to share. This very instinct remember me the line once famously quoted by Jeremy Bentham;- we are not sloe landlords of possessions, we hold today rather just tenant who possess it for a blink of time to pass on to the next generation as given to us from our ancestors. But this thing people only understand in the sphere of family ownership and exhibit domination on social land.
How long we can sustain only on Economic aspect putting the Ecology in back burner.
Each should be respected to make this human life more meaningful. As Together we stand divided we fall.
