साँचाे के ?
- Rushina Tamang - 26008, Grade ... 26 June, 2023

आँखामा बाँधेको त्यो पट्टी हटाऊ
पछाडिको त्यो उज्ज्यालोलाई पछ्याऊ
पछाडिको त्यो संसार सारै कुरूप छ 
तिमीले त्यो संसारलाई देख्नु पर्ने 
कुनै आवश्यकता नै छैन हाेइन र ?

 

हे मानव !
आफ्नो अनि देशको विकास गर 
आफ्नो मातृभूमिभन्दा प्यारो कुरा अरू के छ ? 
यद्यपि देशले तिमीलाई जति हेपोस,
देशमा जति भ्रष्टाचार होस्,
तिमीले देशलाई माया गर्नुपर्छ
किन ?

 

किनकि लक्ष्मीप्रसाद देवकोटाले 
देशलाई स्वर्ग समान देश भने
कति मानिसले प्रश्न गर्छन् होला 
के र कसरी हाे स्वर्ग ?

 

यी लेखकहरूका  रचनाहरू सुनेर 
यिनका जीवनीहरू पढेर, सुनेर
एक्लो विद्यार्थीले यो देशमा
भ्रष्टाचारी धेरै भएकाे देशमा
राम्राे काम गर्न सम्भव छ र ?

 

पुरानाे संसार उनीहरूकै पालोमा लोप भैसक्यो  
आख़िर कसले भन्छ ? यिनीहरूलाई 
हाम्रो संसार अनुचित छ भनेर ? 
त्यसैले, हामीले यस्ता विद्यार्थीहरूलाई
१०/२० वर्ष हुँदै सयाैँ वर्ष पुराना 
संसारका रचनाहरू सुनाएर 
अहिलेको रङ्गीन संसारमा 
किन आधुनिक बनाउँदै छाैँ ?

Medusa: The Snake-Haired Monster and Perseus
- Riti Niraula - 27029, Grade I ... 26 June, 2023

Medusa is the name we have primarily heard in the ancient stories of Greek Mythology. Medusa was a monster also known as the ‘Gorgon’. She had three sisters who were also the Gorgons, known as ‘The Three Gorgons Sisters’. They all lived together at the end of the world or on the island in the middle of Poseidon's great ocean. The other sisters are not mentioned much in Greek mythology as much as Medusa is.

Before turning into a Gorgon, Medusa was a woman known for her beauty and was a mortal. One day Medusa went to the temple of Athena to worship. When she was there, Poseidon saw her, he was amazed by her beauty then seduced and raped her, and soon after, she became pregnant. Athena was mad at her for violating the temple, so she turned her into a mortal gorgon. She then was no longer beautiful and she turned into a monster who had snakes for her hair and would turn anyone into stone if they looked at her directly. Although there are many myths that say that Athena was jealous of Medusa’s beauty hence she was turned into an ugly monster, other myths say that Athena did what she did so that nobody would harm Medusa ever again. It is highly debatable but the fact is that she ‘punished’ the victim and not the perpetrator. Killing a Gorgon who had the ability to turn anyone into stone and whose sisters were immortal sounds like a task almost impossible, but Perseus was able to do it by using his weapon a single time. Perseus was the son of Zeus and a human princess named Danae. A man who wanted to marry Perseus’s mother challenged him to bring the head of the Gorgon, and young Perseus agreed. Perseus had no clue where to find the snake-haired monster but he was assisted by his two half-siblings Athena and Hermes. Athena gave him the bronze shield and Hermes gave him the winged sandals. Then he went to the place where ‘The Three Gorgons Sister’ lived. All three sisters were born with only one eye which they shared with each other, and only one tooth they took turns eating. Perseus knew about it, and when Medusa was sleeping and the other two sisters were passing the eye between each other and safeguarding the place, Perseus snatched the eye at the right time and told them he would give it to them if they told the information he needed. He went to the place after a while when all the three sisters were sleeping and when he found the right moment he cut her throat and killed her without directly looking into her eyes. 
                                                                                   
After that, he gave returned the god’s gift back to Athena and also gave the gorgon head as a reward.

Are Protests More Harmful Than Beneficial?
- Manaswi Sapkota - 26004, Grad ... 23 June, 2023

Protests are a powerful move to show what you believe in. It is an action that helps you fight for what you think is right. Protests often result in socio-economic changes; they change the politics of a country and the mindset of the locals. They also cause violence among certain groups of people. Some protests are just not effective because they are executed terribly.

 

Protests usually disturb the normal flow of a place as during protests, people are on the roads fighting for what they believe is right. These protests often lead to traffic jams, fights with law enforcement, etc., which can polarize the opinion of the bystander because due to the protest, the roads are blocked and they can't get anywhere on time. This might lead to resentment towards the protester, and there might be no regard for the content being protested.

 

Major protests are always verbal, but sometimes protests get out of hand, and every once in a while, a brawl breaks out between opposing parties of the protesters. These fights not only hurt those involved but also harm the bystanders. Vandalism, theft, burning of properties, etc., also take place during protests sometimes. This also makes the bystanders question the reason behind the protest, and instead of taking a side, the bystander will only continue hating on the campaign as a whole. This kind of protest only uses the public as a source of hate for the protesters.

 

Cases like the Extinction Rebellion's protests really show the general saying of "good ideas, executed badly." They protested against climate change, and the idea of the protest itself is good, but they protested terribly, vandalizing property, blocking major roads, and the public transportation system.

 

Another reason why today's protests are more harming than rewarding is the carbon footprint they leave behind. To organize such high-scale protests, activists have to use transportation, energy, fuel, etc., which only contradicts their reason behind the protest. These resources are unsustainable for a protest as they leave behind carbon footprints. These resources could also be used in other sectors that need them more. Due to this, protests should be done without the emission of carbon footprints.

 

Digital activism is one of the most sustainable ways of protest as of now, especially after the rise of apps like TikTok, which help in spreading information to people all around the world. Online petitions, virtual events, etc., help reduce the carbon footprint as they remove all the reasons for the use of transportation, energy consumption, and an increase in waste. Of course, digital activism isn't possible everywhere, so there are other ways to remove carbon footprints while protesting. Sustainable transportation, awareness campaigns, and sustainable materials are all ways to not leave behind our carbon footprints.

 

Protests play a significant role in changing the social dynamic of a society and bringing justice to those who need it. Protests should be peaceful yet bold and strong. Violence and the lack of composure only make it easier for the general public to ignore your protests easily. So to prove a point protests must be done without violence and only then will they be effective.

भाैगाेलिक विविधता
- Manaswi Sapkota - 26004, Grad ... 22 June, 2023

नेपाल भौगोलिक हिसाबले पहाडी, तराई र हिमाली गरी ३ भागमा विभाजन गरिएको छ । नेपालको संस्कृति, रीतिरिवाज, चाडपर्व आदि क्षेत्र र स्थानअनुसार फरक फरक छन् ।  नेपाल भौगोलिक रूपमा विभाजित र प्रत्येक क्षेत्रका लागि फरक-फरक संस्कृतिहरू भए पनि यो भावना र विचारकाे एकता भएको देश हो । नेपालको भौगोलिक विविधताको कारण प्रत्येक क्षेत्रका प्रकृति, माटो, रुख आदि फरक–फरक छन् ।

 

नेपालकाे हिमालय क्षेत्र समुन्द्र सतहबाट ३००० मिटरदेखि ८ हजार आठसय ४८ उचाइमा रहेको छ । यस क्षेत्रको हावापानी सामान्यतया २० डिग्री सेल्सियससम्म हुन्छ । यस क्षेत्रका अधिकांश मानिसहरूले आम्दानी र खानाको लागि पशुपालन गर्छन् । यार्सागुम्बा जस्ता औषधीय जडीबुटी पनि यहाँ पाइन्छन् । यस क्षेत्रमा कस्तुरी मृग, मुनालजस्ता वन्यजन्तुहरू पाइन्छन् भने घरपालुवा जनावरहरू याक, बाख्रा आदि रहेका छन् । यस क्षेत्रका केही पर्यटक आकर्षणहरू सगरमाथा आरोहण, अन्नपूर्ण आधार शिविर आदि हुन् ।

 

नेपालको पहाडी क्षेत्र तराई प्रदेशको उत्तर तथा हिमाली प्रदेशको दक्षिणमा समुन्द्री सतहबाट करिब ६०० मिटर देखि ३००० मिटरसम्मको उचार्ईमा झण्डै ७५ देखि १२५ कि.मि. सम्मको चौडाईभित्र पूर्वपश्चिम फैलिएको छ । यहाँ उपयुक्त किसिमकाे हावापानी भएकाले यहाँ धेरै फलफूल र तरकारी उत्पादन हुन्छ । यहाँ उत्तिस, सल्ला, लालीगुराँस लगायतका बिरुवाहरू हुर्किने गर्छन् । पहाडी क्षेत्र नेपालको सांस्कृतिक तथा सामाजिक रूपमा प्रख्यात छ । यस क्षेत्रमा पाइने जनावरहरूमा बाघ, भालु, ब्वाँसो, बँदेल, स्याल, बाँदर, खरायो, मृग आदि हुन् । पहाडी क्षेत्रका मानिसहरूले प्राय: खेतीपाती गरेर जीविकोपार्जन गर्छन् । आँप, लिची, मेवा, कागती,फर्सि, सुन्तला, कागती आदि नेपालको पहाडी क्षेत्रमा उत्पादन गरिन्छ । नेपालको पहाडी काठमाडाैँ उपत्यकाअन्तर्गत पशुपतिनाथ, स्वयम्भूनाथ, चाँगुनारायण, मनकामनालगायतका धार्मिक स्थलका कारण पनि धार्मिक पर्यटकको आकर्षण बढेको छ । पहाडी क्षेत्रको गौरवको रूपमा रहेको पशुपतिनाथ मन्दिरले पर्यटकलाई निकै लोभ्याउने गरेको छ । त्यस्तै, यस क्षेत्रको मध्यम हावापानीले पनि यसलाई लोकप्रिय र मनमोहक बनाएकाे छ । र्याफ्टिङ, बोटिङ, प्याराग्लाइडिङ, बन्जी जम्पिङ आदि पनि पर्यटकलाई आकर्षित गर्ने क्रियाकलापहरू छन्।



नेपालको सबैभन्दा दक्षिणी भागमा उत्तरदेखि दक्षिणतर्फ होचिदै गएको समुन्द्री सतहबाट ७० मिटरदेखि ६०० मिटरसम्मको उचार्ईसम्म फैलिएको समथर क्षेत्र तराई प्रदेश हाे । नेपालको तराई क्षेत्र कृषि उपलब्धिको लागि प्रसिद्ध छ । नेपालको तराई क्षेत्रमा एकसिङ्गे गैँडाजस्ता लोप हुन लागेका धेरै महत्त्वपूर्ण वन्यजन्तुहरू पनि पाइन्छन् । तराई क्षेत्र चिया र केराको निर्यातको लागि पनि जिम्मेवार छ । यहाँ मकै, कोदो, आलु आदि उत्पादन हुन्छ । नेपालमा ८० प्रतिशत धान तराई क्षेत्रमा उब्जनी हुन्छ । तराई भारतसँग जोडिएको हुनाले भारतीय संस्कृतिले तराईलाई पनि प्रभाव पारेकाे छ । यस क्षेत्रमा गैँडा, जङ्गली भैँसी, हात्ती, बाघ, भालु, मृग, हरिण र बाँदरजस्ता जनावरहरू पाइन्छ । त्यसैगरी तराई क्षेत्रमा ढुकुर, मयुर, टर्की आदि चराहरू पनि पाइन्छन् । 
निष्कर्षमा भन्नुपर्दा, नेपाल भूगोल र संस्कृतिका हिसाबले भिन्नताले भरिएको देश हो । यी भिन्नताहरूलाई स्वीकार गरेर पनि मानिसहरू एकजुट भएर बस्छन्। नेपाली नागरिक एकजुट भएर आफ्नो राष्ट्रिय सम्पदाको संरक्षण गर्नुपर्छ ।

Who is Linda O’Keefe?
- Sonam Sunner - 27017, Grade I ... 22 June, 2023

On July 6, 1973, Linda O'Keefe, a young girl at the age of eleven got ready for Newport, beach, california. She was going to summer school in this location. Linda had two sisters, and was a very talented girl who loved art. She was wearing a dress her mom had made for her and soon her piano teacher would be picking her up.  

 

It was a short distance from home to school, but sadly Linda walking home was her last seen alive. A man had found her body in a ditch. The police have been investigating for a while now and each path has led to nothing but just a dead end. After 45 years, On Linda’s Death anniversary, The police announced that they would be doing a DNA test to search and find the killer. And the police started to spread awareness about this situation, to do so, they used twitter, a social media app. They described Linda’s last day from her point of view on the app. They basically wrote about how on her last day, she had to stay at school for piano lessons, and how she wanted to call her mom to pick her up but since she couldn't use the phone at that time, she just waited. Then later on, Linda’s friend, Brenda saw her and a van stop next to Linda, but she was too far away to see if Linda talked to the van driver or not. Then later, Linda asked her mom for a ride but since her mom was busy, she walked home. Which was sadly to be the last time anyone saw her. However, her mom did call the police, so the police had questioned many people, and one of the few was a girl named Jannie. Jannie and her mom had seen Linda sitting next to a turquoise van, and Jannie’s mother thought something was wrong so parked her car next to it as well. Then the van started leaving, She couldn’t tell if Linda was in the car but neither was she sitting out as well. The van drove quickly so Jannie’s mom couldn’t tell what the License plate number was.

 

There was also another witness. A woman had heard a scream near Newport Beach, but she didn’t pay attention to it. Then, as I said earlier, a man had seen his body and called the police right after.  45 years have passed and now they are using a DNA method called DNA phenotyping. After Linda’s DNA was submitted, A guy named James Alan Neal was a huge suspect. Neal then was arrested after his DNA was matched to Linda’s. After 45 years, they finally found the culprit to Linda O’keefe’s murder. If you’re wondering why they didn’t use DNA phenotyping before. Well, this was back in 1973, this technology was something they lacked. In 1984, This was finally invented and in 2018, they used this method to solve Linda O’Keefe’s death. There is even a movie made inspired from this case called “the lovely bones”.

Are older people as considerate about the environment as younger people?
- Roji Gurung - 26007, Grade X ... 21 June, 2023

The environment has been degrading day by day. Every year news about climate change circulates around the earth. Young people are always seen protesting about the environment around the cities. But why do only younger people seem to care about the environment? Are the older generations not considerate about the environment? The answer to this question is yes.

Majority of the older people tend to forget about the situation of the environment or they just stop caring about it. Younger people become more concerned about the environment after turning 18. Research has shown that people stop being concerned about climate change once we reach our 40s. Let's take an example of Greta Thunberg and Donald Trump. Back in 2019 a young girl named Greta Thunberg gave a passionate speech about how worried she was about the state of the earth in the UN. That speech went viral. Donald Trump, who in his seventies, criticized Greta for the speech she made. Research has shown that this may be because of their ages. As people age they care less about the dying planet and give less concern about the environment. Younger generations are more likely to take climate change as a personal issue and be active on climate movements. Since many government employees are above the age of 35, they too do not seem to care about the environment. The older people usually feel so because for them it's no use for their future. They would want to do everything before dying which would make them do things that are not eco-friendly. This impacts the future of the environment. As for the younger generations they want a better future for themselves and their future generations. Young people are health conscious, socially and mentally aware about the environment. They are all about better health, safe environment, eco-friendly surroundings, and healthy lifestyles at present and also in future. These young generations are more critical on what to do rather than the older generations. They know what is good and bad for them. This is also one reason why they look for a better lifestyle. Older people seem to have attitudes so they would not listen to what others say and be as irresponsible as they please. According to the research, it is believed that the difference between the mindset about climate change between older and young generations is the generational events. Older generations too were young once. They too might have fought for the environment. But as we go through the past there seems to be no changes in the climate. This may be the reason the older generation stopped fighting because they know it is useless and there would not be any changes.

नेपाली भूभाग
- Rushina Tamang - 26008, Grade ... 20 June, 2023

नेपाल एसिया महादेशमा अवस्थित एउटा सुन्दर देश हो । यो एसियाको दक्षिणी भागमा अवस्थित भूपरिवेष्ठित देश हो। यो हिमालयमा अवस्थित छ र उत्तरमा जनवादी गणतन्त्र चीन र दक्षिण, पूर्व र पश्चिममा भारत गणतन्त्रको सिमाना छ । नेपालले कुनै महासागर वा समुद्रलाई नछोए तापनि नेपालको भूगोलभित्र सयौँ नदी, पोखरी र तालहरू रहेकाले जलस्रोतमा धनी छ । नेपालको भूगोलको कुरा गर्दा नेपालको भूगोल एकदमै सुन्दर छ । नेपालको भूगोललाई तीनवटा क्षेत्रमा विभाजन गरिएको छ । हिमाली क्षेत्र, तराई क्षेत्र र पहाडी क्षेत्र। धेरै देशहरू भन्दा फरक, नेपालमा तीनवटा फरक भूमि छन् । र तीनवटै क्षेत्रका आ–आफ्नै विशिष्टता, महत्त्व र छन् । 
 

नेपालको सबैभन्दा माथिल्लो भागमा रहेको पहाडी क्षेत्रमा सुन्दर सुन्दर हिमालहरू अवस्थित रहेका छन् । ६००० मीटरभन्दा माथि नेपालमा १,३१० एउटा पहाडहरू छन् । र संसारमा भएको १४ एउटा ८००० मिटरभन्दा माथि अग्लो पहाडहरूमध्ये ८ एउटा पहाडहरू नेपालको भूभागमा अवस्थित रहेका छन् । ती ८ हिमालहरू सगरमाथा , कन्चनजन्गा, लोत्से, मकालु, धौलागिरी, मनास्लु, चोयु, र अन्नपूर्ण हुन् । यी ८ हिमालहरूमध्ये सगरमाथा हिमाल संसारको सबैभन्दा अग्लो हिमाल हो । र यो नेपालको भूभागमा अवस्थित हुनु नेपालको लागि गर्वकाे कुरा हो । सगरमाथा हिमालको उचाइ ८८४८ मिटर रहेको छ। 

 

यस क्षेत्रमा शेर्पा जातीय व्यक्तिहरूको बसोबास रहेको छ । शेर्पाहरू पहाडी भूभागमा आदिवासी हुन् । शेर्पाहरू पहाडी भूभागमा बस्दा बस्दा उनीहरूको शरीर त्यही भूभागको आधारमा विकास भएको छ । जसका कारण शेर्पाहरूको शरीर अरु व्यक्तिको शरीरभन्दा फरक र अझै विकसित हुन्छ, जसले उनीहरूलाई चिसो ठाउँमा स्वतन्त्र रूपमा सास फेर्न, जति चिसो भए पनि आफ्नो शरीरको तापमान कायम राख्न, र ८८४८ को उचाइमा रहेको पहाडहरू जस्तो अग्लो ठाउँहरूलाई पानि सजिलोले चढ्न सक्ने शक्ति दिन्छ । यस भूभागमा हिमालयन याकहरू र हिउँ चितुवाहरू पनि पाइन्छ जुन यो संसारमा अरू कही पनि पाईंदैन । संसारमा अरू कहीँ पनि नपाइने लालीगुराँस फूल जुन नेपालको राष्ट्रिय फूल पनि हो, यो फूल पनि नेपालको पहाडी भूभागमा आवस्थित छ । यी कुराबाहेक यहाँ टन्नै बुद्धिस्ट गुम्बाहरू पनि अवस्थित रहेका छन् । 

 

नेपालको पहाडी क्षेत्र निकै सुन्दर छ । यस क्षेत्रमा रहेका अनेक चीजहरूले पहाडी क्षेत्रकाे सुन्दरतालाई बढाउने काम गरेका छन् । नेपाली सुन्दरता र प्रकृतिकाे अनुभव लिन र रमाउन  हरेक वर्ष धेरै पर्यटक नेपाल भ्रमणमा आउने  गर्छन् । त्यसैले यो नेपालको गौरवमय पक्ष हो ।

Keratoconus: A Corneal Disease
- Srishad Shiwakoti - 27026, Gr ... 20 June, 2023

Eye is the most important and most sensitive part of our body. It helps us look at the world. Unfortunately unlike any other parts of our body, the eye also has several diseases and infections. I was also diagnosed with a serious disease called ‘Keratoconus’ in the main part of my eye - Cornea. Luckily it wasn't too late for the surgery so I was protected from it.

 

Keratoconus is a corneal disease in which our cornea bulges from its place and it becomes thin. It mainly occurs to people with a high level of allergy as allergy makes eyes itchy and people rub it. This disease only happens to children of growing age. It all started when I went to an eye clinic for a check-up as my eye was red. After the checkup, they all were serious and were discussing the issue. We were also feeling a bit scared until an expert Ophthalmologist came and explained everything in detail about the disease. They said I had to put on contact lenses to protect my cornea. We were horrified by the news so we went to Nepal Eye Hospital. There was our relative who is a well-known surgeon Dr Kamal Khadka. He calmed us down and referred us to a Cornea specialist. The specialist doctor said that we had to go through a surgery which is called Collagen Crosslinking. This service is newly adapted in Nepal by only two hospitals. In the process of this surgery, ultraviolet light and eye drops are invaded in the cornea to tighten it. This helps to prevent cornea bulging further and improve the eye-sight at the same time. We went to the best hospital for that surgery - Matrika Eye Center. At first I was scared but later the doctor calmed me down. The surgery of my right eye was fixed on Chaitra 29 after a lot of eye-scan.

 

It was finally the day of surgery and I was scared and excited as well at the same time because I was going to see the world clearly after this hectic situation. The surgeon was Dr. Shashwat Dhungel, a veteran refractive surgeon. We waited for an hour as the machines were getting ready. I was called into a dark room. There the doctor made me sleep on the bed and poured eye drops but I did not feel any kind of difficulty in my eye though I was conscious. The doctor started to pass laser light in the eye and I sat watching it for 10 minutes. Then I was taken out from the operation room and treated with eye drops every five minutes. However, the first part was over, the second part was still left. The second part was just to watch the laser light for 20 minutes. I was sent out to rest for 30 minutes. I was not feeling any kind of pain due to the medicine but the real pain started after an hour. It was unbearable but I somehow endured it. I had to put medicine in the gap every 15 minutes. My aunt and cousin sister helped me do it as my mom had to go to work. After three days the pain lowered down. And now, after 3 weeks I feel good and my vision is also gradually back. I am still taking medicines and doing follow-up with the doctor.

 

Now I am still scared because I have to go through the same surgery for my left eye. Nevertheless, I also feel a little confident because the next would be my second time. After this situation happened to me, I suggest everyone not to rub their eyes too much and vigorously. Previously, I had my eyesight -4.5 power but now after the surgery, it's only -1.2 in my right eye. So, this surgery has helped me a lot by curing the disease of my eye. This is all because of the development in technology and expert doctors. I feel very lucky that this technology was introduced in Nepal just six months ago and I could get treatment. Finally, I want to thank the doctors with the quote of Paulo Coehlo ‘Your eyes show the strength of your soul’.

Exploitation of the Environment for Personal Gain: A Crisis
- Aayusi Shrestha - 26002, Grad ... 19 June, 2023

The environment plays a huge role in sustaining life on our planet. It provides us with vital resources, clean air, and a balanced ecosystem. However, it is disheartening to witness the alarming increase in individuals who exploit the environment for personal benefits. One of the primary reasons people exploit the environment is rooted in human greed and the pursuit of immediate personal benefits. Individuals and organizations are using the environment and harming it for their selfish gains. People taking advantage of the environment has a lot of negative consequences. People do not understand that if we do not protect the environment then it will only be harmful for us and the next generations.

Majority of the people prefer short term gains over the sustainability of the environment. This mindset is going to lead us to destructive practices such as deforestation, climate change, pollution everywhere and more. A lot of problems like this are already in existence but people are not doing anything about it. Industries and businesses often disregard the environmental consequences of their activities. In some cases, the industries and organizations act like they care about the environment but they are the first ones to harm the environment. It is actually quite true that people will do anything to expand their business even if it means using the environment and ruining it. In this world we are living in money is way more important than our future. When people exploit the environment they do not think about the upcoming future generations. Political interests and corruption often contribute to the exploitation of the environment. In most of the cases, government officials allow the destructive practices to continue unchecked if they are receiving something from it. Corruption weakens the efforts to protect the environment. There are a lot of politicians who fight against environmental cruelty however if they receive something by harming the environment they will not proceed to think once about it. There are many people who harm the environment unknowingly as they are not aware about it. Lack of awareness has caused a lot of problems like pollution, global warming, deforestation, etc. If we really want our future to be more secure then we need to start acting now and also start to protect the environment.

There are a lot of solutions to stop people from utilizing the environment for themselves however a lot of people are too busy or lazy to do it. Through education, sustainable practices, and global collaboration, we can combat this exploitation and ensure a sustainable future for the generations to come. Promoting environmental education and awareness at all levels of society is essential. Governments, organizations, and individuals should all work together to share knowledge, resources, and spread awareness through the power they have. It is important for us to recognize our responsibility as the protectors of the environment and take action to preserve and protect it for the benefit of all.
