Conserving the environment means more than just saving wildlife, trees and oceans. It also involves improving human health. Protecting natural resources means protecting clean air and water for drinking, as well as fertile soils to cultivate our food. They are essential to the health of humans, as well as economic and social growth.
The HDI Six Nations demonstrate that taking action to preserve the environment leads to higher quality of life, showing the world that sustainable practices benefit not just the planet, but the well-being of all people.
Our communities will be healthier if we choose to conserve trees, reduce pollution, or adopt sustainable practices. By reducing pollution, cities are more attractive, illnesses linked to the environment decrease, and future generations have a beautiful world. The natural world has given us all life. Preserving it allows humanity to continue flourishing alongside a balanced, healthy planet.
The preservation of the environment doesn’t mean sacrificing anything; rather, it means investing in our collective destiny. More we respect and care for the Earth, more we rise.
