concerns world-wide, consequential of interactions of individual activities with their universal
ecosystem. There has been a lack of self realization amongst the human race, and the greed and
desire to become more efficient which has led to humans blindly following and practicing the so

excel, the desire to be the one ahead of the rest in his human race has led to the exploitation of
nature. Even before the conservationism became the catchphrase of the universal song of the
