Ecosystems and Life: On Land
(Spring 2022)
Pandemic and all the fallout from all this have had an impact on each one of us. Many of us who had been previously completely immersed in the daily churn of modern life have seen the fault in our ways, but maybe not enough people. We were hoping that more people would come out of the COVID-19 tunnel with a renewed respect to nature, wildlife, and the health of our planet as a united being. However, it looks like most are rushing back to the familiar paths, which have been leading us to major environmental calamities. SCIplanet team thinks it is a good time to pause and reflect on the greater canvas of life. Let us remember the glory of our intricate planet with its mesmerizing tapestry of incalculable ecosystems and lifeforms on land and under water. We dedicate the two issues of 2022 to this theme, which is truly at the core of everything. We marvel at the wonders of life, explore some of the humankind impact on nature, and look into possible ways of redeeming ourselves.
