Web-seminar on Environment: Time to act - not thinking

Environment is comprehensive, multidimensional and composed of everything we perceive. Mother Nature protects us, nurture us and influence our every aspect of life. It is multidisciplinary as well as interdisciplinary in spirit thus revolves around each and every person irrespective of his or her social position, occupation, gender, level of education, place of residence and so on. Nature caters the wealth of ecosystem services that make our lives possible, from products like food and water to social and cultural benefits such as spiritual benefits in natural areas. Slightest of imbalance in the environment trembles ecological steadiness in some manner. More ignorant we become towards environment the heavier wrath of her we confront; be it global warming, river bank erosion or behavioral changes in animals due to pollution and many many more.
