They were the original guardians before we cut them down.

They kept the world in balance.

They (literally) make life possible.

They lived for so long.

They were the trees.

Then humans came along.

Humans thought they are intelligent.

Humans thought they can bend the world around them.

Humans just did that.

Humans created problems for all the living “LIFE”.

Now the damage is done.

The old proverb “Prevention is better than Cure” seems ill logic.

Now the intelligent humans are TRYING to plant TREES.

Maybe this time humans will take the right path.

A path to recovery.

After all the things we have done to them,

We, humans, are back at square 01.

Asking trees to save us all.

Trees to save us all.

Now Now,

Listen to this,

Humans must plant trees,

They won’t grow on their own.

The fire that consumes trees,

Will consume our entire human race.

Join Us and Volunteer,

For a Project on SDG 15,

Life on Land.
