In my recent trekking experience i came across a wild
Goliath Beetle. We found so many of them through our way, each one with different colours and sizes. This lead me to dig in deep about this beetle and I powered on my search engine to look about it. I was astonished to skim through the facts about it. It was really a woderful creation by god. Very few of us have seen the Goliath Beetle. It is a creature, which wears a natural armour. This makes it the heaviest flying insect in the world. Periwinkle a bright flower is useful in fighting cancer. A chemical extracted from it is used to manufacture a drug that treats blood cancer. Both the Goliath Beetle and periwinkle plant are to be seen in the rainforest regions. But today, just as we are beginning to realise the value of these rain forests, we are losing them fast. Rainforests which are one of Earth's greatest biological treasures, once coveres 14 percent of the earth's land surface. This area has now dwindled to 6 percent. Man has been destroying forests to gain land for industrial or civil purposes. Every second, about one and a half acres f rainforest disappear from the face of the earth. Short-signed governments and avaricious multinational companies see rainforests only as timber or prospective industrial estates. The forests have grown and evolved over centuries into a complex life-balance system. tampering with forests is tampering with human survival. Destruction takes no time but can man recreate these beautiful animal or plant species? Preserving nature is our responsibility. Greener the world, Happier is our Environment!
