Preserve Nature





Earth + Nature = Us



By
Gaurav Malhotra


In this Blog i express my views about our Nature.
The time has come to express my views about the nature and it's beauty.

Nature can bring a lot of beauty into our lives. Nature has a way of affecting our moods and it can force us to change our plans.

When we see the leaves budding on a tree or when a timid flower pushes through the frozen ground, or when we smell the freshness of spring, new hope will always come to us. Nature is truly an intrinsic part of our lives.


Learning to become more aware of nature can truly have a good effect on our lives in the way we look at things and in the way we feel about ourselves.

Our Mother Nature

Preserve nature

The miraculous thing on earth, Is lovely nature.
The wonderful gift to man, Is beautiful nature.Whose gift is this nature? It's God's gift To man for his well being.

Nature

Nature is the living, visible garment of God, and earth, with her thousand voices, praises God.
Flowers are the poetry of earth,as stars are the poetry of heaven, and a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars.
Talk of mysteries! Think of our life in Nature -daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it -rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks.
The solid earth! All are but parts of one stupendous whole,whose body Nature is, and God the soul.

  • Naure is responsible for the sun, clouds, rain, and snow.
  • When it is sunny and bright outside, we feel cheerful inside.
  • When it is cloudy and rainy, we often feel gloomy.
  • When there is a beautiful and starry night, the moonlight makes us feel romantic.

There is so very much beauty all around us to see, touch, and hear.Nature is so miraculous because it is always changing. No matter how many times you look at something, it is always different.

Animals and Plants

(Wallpaper 4)

The distinction between plant and animal life is not sharply drawn, with some categories of life that stand between or across the two.

(Wallpaper 5,6)

Animals as a category have several characteristics that generally set them apart from other living things,They are also distinguished from plants, algae, and fungi by lacking cell walls.

Among the many ways of classifying plants are by regional floras, which, depending on the purpose of study, can also include fossil flora, remnants of plant life from a previous era.

Colours Of Life (NATURE)

World is beautiful,colourfull & Full of happiness
The beauty comes from the enchanting colours of the flowers like Daffodils, Sunflowers, shoeflowers and thousands of varieties of flowers which boost the confidence of the nature.


Several varieties of the bushes,shrubbs ,plants,animals and colourful display of the butterflies make it to reach the aroma(an odor arising from spices, plants, cooking, etc., esp. an agreeable odor; fragrance.) of this beauty to the maximum......



When we see the leaves budding on a tree or when a timid flower pushes through the frozen ground, or when we smell the freshness of spring, new hope will always come to us. Nature is truly an intrinsic part of our lives.

(Wallpaper 7)

It seems so hard to understand,
As I look across the land,
That all I view belongs to me,
I ought to take more time to see.

The distant hills and mountains high,
The rolling clouds and bright blue sky,
No one can take these views from me,
As long as I have eyes to see.
Beauty in nature has long been a common theme in life and in art, and books emphasizing beauty in nature fill large sections of libraries and bookstores. That nature has been depicted and celebrated by so much art, photography, poetry and other literature shows the strength with which many people associate nature and beauty.

Why this association exists, and what the association consists of, is studied by the branch of philosophy called aesthetics. Beyond certain basic characteristics that many philosophers agree about to explain what is seen as beautiful, the opinions are virtually endless.....

Nature is so miraculous because it is always changing.
Remember that if we take the time to enjoy nature more, then we are taking the time out to really live more!


Nature is full of green pastures, But no one bothers about nature, They care only about their own future.

Don't become a sinner, By destroying nature for self-pleasure, Remember! Nature is bigger But man's life and pleasure is shorter.

So let's all love nature, And preserve it for the future.

Natural products

Natural products
There are several products which our nature provides to us for our daily usages.
A natural product is a chemical compound or substance produced by a living organism - found in nature that usually has a pharmacological or biological activity for use in pharmaceutical drug discovery and drug design.

A natural product can be considered as such even if it can be prepared by total synthesis.Not all natural products can be fully synthesized and many natural products have very complex structures that are too difficult and expensive to synthesize on an industrial scale. These include drugs such as penicillin, morphine, and paclitaxel (Taxol).



Such compounds can only be harvested from their natural source - a process which can be tedious, time consuming, and expensive, as well as being wasteful on the natural resource. For example, one yew tree would have to be cut down to extract enough paclitaxel from its bark for a single dose.[1] Furthermore, the number of structural analogues that can be obtained from harvesting is severely limited.
Natural sources
Natural products may be extracted from tissues of terrestrial plants, marine organisms or microorganism fermentation broths. A crude (untreated) extract from any one of these sources typically contains novel, structurally diverse chemical compounds, which the natural environment is a rich source of.


The plant kingdom
Plants have always been a rich source of lead compounds (e.g. morphine, cocaine, digitalis, quinine, tubocurarine, nicotine, and muscarine). Many of these lead compounds are useful drugs in themselves (e.g. morphine and quinine), and others have been the basis for synthetic drugs (e.g. local anaesthetics developed from cocaine). Clinically useful drugs which have been recently isolated from plants include the anticancer agent paclitaxel (Taxol) from the yew tree, and the antimalarial agent artemisinin from Artemisia annua.



Plants provide a large bank of rich, complex and highly varied structures which are unlikely to be synthesized in laboratories. Furthermore, evolution has already carried out a screening process itself whereby plants are more likely to survive if they contain potent compounds which deter animals or insects from eating them. Even today, the number of plants that have been extensively studied is relatively very few and the vast majority have not been studied at all.

The microbial world
Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi have been invaluable for discovering drugs and lead compounds. These microorganisms produce a large variety of antimicrobial agents which have evolved to give their hosts an advantage over their competitors in the microbiological world.
The screening of microorganisms became highly popular after the discovery of penicillin. Soil and water samples were collected from all over the world in order to study new bacterial or fungal strains, leading to an impressive arsenal of antibacterial agents such as the cephalosporins, tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, rifamycins, and chloramphenicol.

The marine world



In recent years, there has been a great interest in finding lead compounds from marine sources. Coral, sponges, fish, and marine microorganisms have a wealth of biologically potent chemicals with interesting inflammatory, antiviral, and anticancer activity. For example, curacin A is obtained from a marine cyanobacterium and shows potent antitumor activity. Other antitumor agents derived from marine sources include eleutherobin, discodermolide, bryostatins, dolostatins, and cephalostatins.

Animal sources

Animals can sometimes be a source of new lead compounds. For example, a series of antibiotic peptides were extracted from the skin of the African clawed frog and a potent analgesic compound called epibatidine.

Beautiful World


Beauty in nature has long been a common theme in life and in art, and books emphasizing beauty in nature fill large sections of libraries and bookstores. That nature has been depicted and celebrated by so much art, photography, poetry and other literature shows the strength with which many people associate nature and beauty.



There is so very much beauty all around us to see, touch, and hear. Nature is so miraculous because it is always changing. No matter how many times you look at something, it is always different.

It is very sad to think future generations will not have the natural things to enjoy as we have had, and that they will be paupers when it comes to the offerings of the natural world. But, preserving nature is one thing ... appreciating it is quite another.

Conditions for life

The diversity of life on Earth today is a result of the dynamic interplay between genetic opportunity, metabolic capability and environmental challenges.For most of its existence, Earth's habitable environment has been dominated by microorganisms and subjected to their metabolism and evolution. As a consequence of such microbial activities on a geologic time scale, the physical-chemical environment on Earth has been changing, thereby determining the path of evolution of subsequent life.For example, the release of molecular oxygen by cyanobacteria as a by-product of photosynthesis induced fundamental, global changes in the Earth's environment.

The altered environment, in turn, posed novel evolutionary challenges to the organisms present, which ultimately resulted in the formation of our planet's major animal and plant species. Therefore this 'co-evolution' between organisms and their environment is apparently an inherent feature of living systems.


Taking action to preserve Nature

There are many things you can to do contribute to the preservation of natural life.

  • Take part in or organize a "plant a tree event." Wildlife preserves always need help with various tasks that keep them going and they are often understaffed because they are run by government funding that gets lower and lower by the year.

  • Make your voice be heard.

  • Spread the word. It takes one person to start a revolution but far more to carry it out.

  • Donate to charities that work to preserve nature and the environment.

  • Make a personal effort to be more conscientious of energy consumption.

  • Avoid trashing anything that can be recycled.





Natural Beauty





Nature, in the broadest sense, is equivalent to the natural world, physical world or material world.
"Nature" refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. It ranges in scale from the subatomic to the cosmic.

The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and literally means "birth". Natura was a Latin translation of the Greek word physis, which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord.Within the various uses of the word today.


  • Nature may refer to the general realm of various types of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects–the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology of the Earth, and the matter and energy of which all these things are composed.

  • It is often taken to mean the "natural environment" or wilderness–wild animals, rocks, forest, beaches, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite human intervention. For, example, manufactured objects and human interaction generally are not considered part of nature, unless qualified as, for example, "human nature" or "the whole of nature". This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human consciousness or a human mind.

So

Save our planet. Expieriency the beauty of nature. World is beautiful. Grow more & more(unlimited) trees. As our mother nature gives everything to us.

There is so very much beauty all around us to see, touch, and hear.
