there are many ways to bring about awareness about nature degradation and the urgent need for conservation...one is to highlight the damage done by man in his quest for a "better life" by degrading and ravaging nature - the stick approach, scaring everybody to believing in the need for conservation. the second is to highlight the beauty around us and getting people to see what they would lose if we continue the way we do for some more years - the carrot approach, getting everybody to appreciate the beauty and hence the need to conserve.
i, of course belong to the latter category...hopefully when someone sees the beauty of nature in my photographs, they would be tempted to go back to their roots, take time off from their busy schedules and not look but "see" what is around us and more importantly what we are losing around us!

Hi Mac,
ReplyDeleteLet me egg you on by being the first to comment on your blog. What are friends for anyway?
I love your inverted approach that urges people to look at the beauty around to tempt them to conserve, and if possible, contribute to making nature more beautiful than it already is. As if that's even a possibility!!
I join you in turning away from sustainable development towards sustainable retreat. (Thanks James Lovelock!)
