Destroying Nature may lead to more problems for humans than we think.

Some humans tend to not think about the environment, maybe because they either hardly pay attention or they don’t care for it at all. keeping our world clean can help keep out diseases from staying the length Corona had stayed , and could even prevent future outbreaks of different kinds from happening.

“Scientists estimate that there are 1.7 million undiscovered viruses lurking in mammals and birds, half of which may have the ability to infect people. It’s no coincidence”(Sarah Gibbens).

We have to do better overall in an attempt to protect the environment around us so the impact of the global economy can’t affect us as significantly. Preserving our environment and oceans can possibly ensure us on a healthy earth in the future years making earth last longer than what could be expected.

How can we fix things now? Countries are planning for the better to help the world “Thirty countries have pledged to support the Campaign for Nature , a global goal to protect 30 percent of the world’s land and seas by 2030″(The Campaign for Nature is supported by the National Geographic Society.)
