Necessity might be the mother of invention. Nature, however, is the mother of all that is necessary. Do not you believe me? See, oxygen is necessary for our very life, and Mama Nature provides it in abundance, and free of cost.
Oh, yes, Ma Nature takes such care of so-called non-living, inanimate objects as well. Indeed so! Look at the sea coasts, for instance. Human beings use them most recklessly, as if they are mere inanimate land, to be exploited as much as possible, and most heartlessly, without giving in return!
Yet being a maternal presence, nature continues to care. Hence the mangroves near the coasts. The mangroves may not exactly be beautiful, like the sea facing villas that human beings heedlessly build. They are, however, truly necessary.
Mangroves save coasts from the sea erosion. Mangroves save coasts from tempests which would otherwise drown the man made cities. Mangroves save many species that make the sea their habitat. Mangroves are mandatory! Naturally necessary they are!
Unique they are. They can survive despite the brackish, saline water. We would spit water if it is a little salty. They thrive despite it. They are not mere trees. They are an entire eco system. Hope we would allow them to survive. Otherwise, the metros near the sea coasts and tidal rivers would face threats tough to control! Wish we would wake up on time!
Pratima@Subtle symbols of strength and support systems, these roots of the sea save coasts from the routs of the sea!
Incidentally, our very own Sunderbans can prove that mangroves save a special species like the Bengal tiger, and hence ARE beautiful as well as useful, right?
