Despite our variety, we are just one of the species that inhabit this amazing planet. Other living organisms—be they sentient or not—can give us a renewed appreciation for the vast amount of biological diversity we share Earth with.
Different parts of the world have different climates, habitats, flora and fauna. We might already be familiar with some of the animals and plant life we encounter during our travels, having also seen them at home. Others will be new to us and, in certain cases, seem exotic or downright strange.
Observing and interacting with the other species that make up the natural world sometimes teaches us important lessons about life and reminds us of the wonder that exists outside of humanity. Unfortunately, as much of it is under threat, it deserves more attention and protection. We must try harder to maintain a mutually sustainable balance in order to ensure the survival of all. Respecting and nurturing the symbiotic relationship we have can only benefit everyone and everything that calls this big blue and green sphere home.
