I have decided to "celebrate biodiversity" with images, on this special 5th Day of June, as my own way of joining The United Nations, other stakeholders and Environmental enthusiasts, in marking World Environment Day 2020. Although I had always had some sort of relationship with the environment, from early days of Farming with my late Grandmother; to learning how to swim; interacting with plants and animals for research during pre-Medical School Days, not until this year, did I really appreciate the importance of the environment to mankind and the complex role that, every aspect of nature played in ensuring that, there was balance in the overall scheme of things. Following several weeks of lockdown and many hours of indoor dwelling because of the current pandemic, restrictions were eventually eased and when I stepped out to take a 1 hour walk, the environment around me felt different. The air was fresh and pleasant to inhale; the grass and trees in the park looked beautiful; the birds complemented the scenery and every other creature seemed to just be in the right place, at the right time. There was a healing sensation to the feel! At this point, all I could think about was, heading into the woods to just take it all in. This was where I got the inspiration to take these pictures and began to think that, of a truth, the environment and indeed, every facet of nature must be celebrated in one way or another. It was time for nature!

I'm not an Environmentalist but we all know that, Environmental disruptions can have health consequences and thus, we all need to care for and appreciate nature, as much as possible. Some actually believe that, nature is trying to send us a message with the COVID-19 Pandemic but I am not in a position to comment on that school of thought. What I do know is that, every aspect of nature is vital to human existence and environmental stability can play a massive role in overall wellbeing. More than ever before, I am inspired and determined to do what I can to preserve the integrity of the environment around me and so should we all. For more information about this special day and what stakeholders are doing in different parts of the world to improve their environment, kindly refer to the references below. Many thanks for clicking in. Your time means a lot to us.

Those pictures are so lovely and yes I kinda believe that the pandemic was an answer to an SOS cry from mother nature...less green gasses, and other polutants in the atmosphere has helped dole out the long overdue sanitization we need in our environment...
