It ignites an urge to be outdoors and appreciate the beauty of nature. We intimately depend on nature. We find fun in nature and the experience allows us to cherish the relationship. Many in rural settings touch base every day close to nature and can appreciate dependence on nature to provide livelihoods with fertile soil and natural water. Pollution, overexploitation and climate changes alter ecosystems. When ecosystems are threatened, all are affected. The gifts of nature cannot be valued in monetary terms, clean air is taken for granted until it is scarce.
