Some people believe in God whilst others deny His very
existence. The man of money and muscle assumes himself to be god. However,
there is not an iota of doubt that all of them depend on Mother Nature for
their subsistence and sustenance.
Mother Nature includes and encompasses everything that is
not man-made. She relentlessly provides us with pure air, water, sunlight,
eatable items and other natural resources which contribute to our meaningful
and successful sojourn on this planet.
Our island Mauritius is profusely blessed by Mother Nature
with a mild tropical climate, abundant sunshine, adequate rainfall, pleasant
lagoons with velveted beaches and a safe forest landscape.
Forest in Mauritius plays a crucial role which is often
overlooked and underrated inspite of all the valuable goods and services it
generously offers the nation. These goods and services are the outcome of the
three main functions of the forests which are environmental, economic and recreational/
socio-cultural.
Our forests tirelessly supply us with pure air, clean water,
timber, fruits, flowers, medicinal plants, fodder, game animals, vegetal
fibres, x-mas trees, honey, wood for cremation and other religious purposes and
at the same time being a most coveted haven for jogging, trekking, shooting,
fishing, picnicking, relaxing and meditating.
The citizens of Mauritius should consider themselves
uniquely fortunate and blessed for all these precious gifts from Mother Nature
and should never hesitate even for an instant to say “ THANK YOU MOTHER NATURE”.
