MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS – DEVASTATION IN THE JUNGLE (PART 2)
The beekeeper, a simple, unin-fluential man, has decided not to sue for compensation; he could not risk losing the case and facing bankruptcy as a result.
Today, totally untouched places in nature are few and far between, and their number continues to, decrease, so that we wonder where it will all end. I remember talking to a zoologist I met in Guayaquil, Equador, as he was preparing to travel to the Galapagos Islands to study the iguanas, large lizards, living there. He poured out a tale of woe about the devastation being inflicted and how, soon, he would hardly know where to go anymore to study certain animals in their natural habitat. Wanton destruction and killing and the advance of civilisation were changing the environment so drastically that these animals were being robbed of their habitat and chance of survival. Something or someone has to pay when short-sighted, one-sided measures are taken and the biological balance of nature is disturbed.
