On the Water

While we destroy nature’s habitats, nature is working toward ridding precarious human habitations. We continue to flock toward manmade playgrounds that consume limited water supplies, taxing desert reservoirs that are already drying up from rising temperatures. We build mini-mansions on cleared mountainside cliffs that can no longer absorb the water from torrential downpours, contributing to catastrophic landslides. We house thousands of families in multilevel buildings alongside rising oceans and rivers, while record breaking storms bring catastrophic flooding. Yet, it is a chance many of us are willing to take for a little taste of paradise on the water.

Thanks to habitat restoration initiatives and parkland acquisition, many native plants and animals that live in and around water are managing to cohabitate with humans.
