After living in Manhattan, New York for a long time, apart from humans and pet dogs raised by humans, I can hardly see any other animals. Gradually, those glaciers, grasslands, forests and the animals living in them seem to have been dusted in memory. Even the animals that I have seen are just glimpses from such a distance, and the last tidbits focus on photographing a Russian tiger in a snow-covered forest for two winters, which I dare not even think about. want. So their work is of great significance. 4 years of time and current technology have made it possible for us to cast a screen and see the creatures in the same home as us, although I think a large part of it is actually in the Wait, quietly wait for the picture of the animals cooperating.
Creatures on earth, like me who struggled in New York, and people in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, second-, third-, and fourth-tier cities and villages, rush for the next meal, small schools of fish, running cattle and sheep, even in the The sharks, lions and tigers at the top of the food chain also face competition. When the picture is full of buffalo elk fleeing in all directions, as well as sporadic wolves and lions, I can't tell you what I want the buffalo elk to escape. Or wolves and lions can have a hearty meal.
Just like the cute little bird who does not hesitate to find a companion to dance to win the favor of the female bird, the silly and thief neighbors but still obediently pick up the fish with conch shells, as a creature, in his 20s , will also encounter similar problems, prove their worth and attract the opposite sex, but the methods and criteria are more diverse.
Among the hundreds of thousands of little penguins, the penguin parents who identify their children by their voices, the giant whales and babies swimming slowly on the sea, watching the children face the sea lion Ma Ma who was eaten by polar bears but was helpless in the ice cave, and The giant baby bird that has never fallen off the tree but wants to learn to fly (forgive me for not remembering the species name), isn't it the same as our parents and raising children?
We have produced philosophy, established natural sciences, and developed human sciences, but on many levels, we are just animals living in another way, our market is small in front of nature, and the civilization we have built It is not passed down from generation to generation as imagined.
However, because of our own lives, we are destroying the natural balance of other animals and the food chain. Why? Are we really as advanced and indispensable as we think? Perhaps not, but in the Chernobyl region without humans, the resilience and resilience of nature and biology has developed a new ecosystem in a decade. I was very impressed by the forest and bricks in the final aerial photography, the self-destruction of human beings and the vitality of life, sad and hopeful.
We made sea lions have nowhere to climb cliffs and eventually fell to their death, reduced fish schools and squid began to wreak havoc on the ocean, made countless species disappear and become extinct, made the ice layers in the Arctic and Antarctic gradually retreat or even disappear, and let the natural climatic laws It makes me sad that we are just ordinary creatures on earth with so many crimes.
Those slogans to protect the environment have been heard countless times. Probably everyone knows what we can do. The unity of knowledge and action can make the earth healthier. So for me, I will eat less meat, even if I start with vegetarian meat.
