Nature Literacy

My generation lacks in animal interaction. As proven in class the only interaction during the day that we have with animals is a bird flying to get some crumbs in front of us, or a squirrel running through or path. It matters were you live and what type of life style. Some people live on a farm and interact with animals every day, but others like us in a city may not see an animal in ages. But the true back of the matter is that animals are disappearing every around us. The more people expand the more we kill of the rest of the world. Like in the movie Matrix, the agent says that humans are a disease a virus that destroys and infects everything. Nature literate is to be aware of the environment and animals. To have knowledge on the wild world.
The less animals are seem the more people want to bring them back. Just look at TV how many channels are about animals, and the environment. There was even a show about the fishing on whale called “Whale Wars”. Yes TV shows are made to make money but they are an educational source for us. They drill information into our heads everyday about animals and love for animals into our hearts. Animals may be disappearing but the fight for animal rights is just increasing. At the moment this topic may be out of congress: animal rights, because of the war and the bad economy but it is on many politicians’ agenda. The call to stop killing of the nature is at its all time high, forests are preserved, more people are recycling, and pollution is at its all time high in everyone’s mind. Because of this constant flow of information into my generation on nature, I feel my generation is becoming more nature literate.
