As the world battles a pandemic, a new crisis has emerged that demands the world’s attention. The stunning visuals of nature’s revenge have been spotted in various parts of the world, where human activities have dramatically decreased due to the coronavirus outbreak. This phenomenon, known as «Nature’s Revenge,» exhibits how the earth can take back control when given the chance.
The earth’s natural environment, which was extensively damaged by human activities, is becoming vibrant once again. The air quality has improved massively, water bodies are cleaner, and the noise level has considerably reduced. For example, Venetian canals that had murky waters earlier have become crystal clear due to lack of boat traffic. Dolphins are also returning to these waters after an extended absence.
The world’s most populous cities, including New Delhi, Mexico City, and Los Angeles, have witnessed a significant reduction in air pollution. The improvement in air quality can best be seen from satellites, as the levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions have dropped dramatically. European Space Agency (ESA) data shows that NO2 levels in Northern Italy falling by up to 40% between late February and mid-March, due to the significant reduction in vehicle emissions and industrial activity.
However, these effects are temporary and rely on a human pandemic to facilitate it. While there is no doubt that nature will replenish itself, nature’s rebellion from human-induced climate change has been continuing for decades, which has been destroyed by human activities. Therefore, it’s not that «Nature is taking revenge,» rather than the reverse. The current situation indicates that we must acknowledge and tackle this environmental crisis head-on, ensuring that it’s included in discussions beyond the current pandemic.
The silver lining of this environmental crisis is that it is serving as a wake-up call for governments and the general public to rally against climate change effectively. With the right measures, including reducing CO2 emissions and other harmful pollutants, enabling natural ecosystems to thrive, and increasing renewable energy production, we can provide a better, more sustainable future for our planet.
In conclusion, the coronavirus has showcased how nature can reclaim its position and rejuvenate even the heavily polluted environments with proper management. It’s up to us to take these lessons and utilize them to become better earth dwellers, and not just treat them as a fluke. By embracing sustainable practices and reducing human impact, we can ensure that nature recovers and that our future remains vibrant and full of life.
