Building a future in harmony with the nature must be regarded as an issue of national priority. Although this issue is everybody's business, only the government has the ways and means to defend the frontiers of forests and save endangered animals for the benefits of our children and children's children. It is the government's role to not only get individuals involved but also to go in step with the global "green" movement.
As custodians of our natural landscapes, people should have moral conscience, or merely follow the government's regulations, to be decent with the biodiversity. In this respect, it is important for the government to effectively enforce the pro-green laws, on penalties of huge fines and prison terms. Reportedly in many countries such laws do exist, but lack of the government's political will has often rendered it difficult to make a difference nation-wide. Not even in the name of great leaps in economic progress should the government allow much of wildlife to disappear, perhaps never to be seen by the future generations. Therefore, the government ought to make it understood that if we could show respect to the natural habitats and forests, they would also show respect for us. When the situation becomes from bad to worse, human beings might have no future whatever, imagining that after the last tree is cut down, the last animal killed off, and the last fish caught, money could not be eaten.
Viewed from a global perspective, the government has a place in the international "green" community whose goal it is to save Nature for Nature's sake. For that matter, no responsible government should act alone when such problems as illegal hunting and excessive deforestation often happen without boundaries. On the government-to-government base, administrative forces must be joined to keep the planet alive with living things, all in unity. Unfortunately, up till now not enough has been done. No doubt, protecting wild animals and wilderness areas is easier said than done, and this is exactly why the government should play a more active part to bring about universal results. It may be said that the Earth is like a universal habitat for all countries, and there would be very few whole eggs left from a damaged nest.
In conclusion, it is necessary for the government to create Nature-friendly conditions for its people and at the same time cooperate with other governments in an effort to preserve what is most valuable for the future. Even though everybody's business seems nobody's business, it remains ultimately each government's duty to safeguard our flora and fauna. Only by so doing can the government help to make the environment fit for people to live in, along with all other living things, now and forever.
