In light of recent results that we received, it is my pleasure to tell you that your Mother Nature has shown very encouraging signs of recovery these past few weeks.
As you already know...
...during the past decades, your Mother Nature has been struggling with high temperatures, breathing difficulties, water intoxication, and more issues...
However, we have noticed major improvements lately on your Mother Nature's overall state. She seems to be making a quick recovery. I just wanted to give you a rundown of all the improvements we have witnessed.
She is more active.
As you can see on the images below, the state of her natural fauna is currently thriving and positively spreading to wider areas that were too affected by human activities before the Covid-19 outbreak. Among many occurrences, we have been able to observe deer in Japan and wild boar in Italy and Spain. We've spotted a wolf in a French ski resort, a hare at a Czech food market. Here below is a proof we have of a Puma in Santiago (Chile).
Even more unexpected, we found a very rare animal called 'Civet cat' roaming the streets in the State of Kerala, India.
And finally, levels of dolphins sightings in Italy have risen significantly recently (see example below) and fish have repopulated canals.
This last example is the result of another improvement that we have recorded, which is the significant amelioration of the water quality in these areas. The water is much clearer and "quieter", thanks to the lack of activity in the canals and seas.
Overall, the lack of negative human activity has reduced levels of sound and water pollution, allowing wildlife to thrive. Air pollution is also dropping significantly, which leads me to my next point.
She breathes better.
For the past months, the air quality has drastically improved. This is because we put a temporary stop on most means of transportation around the globe as well as industrial production which resulted in two positive outcomes: less greenhouse gas and less pollution.
The following images sent by NASA show a significant reduction of NO2 levels in China, which was so far one of the areas that produced the biggest amount of pollution.
This region's carbon levels dropped by 25% within a period of 4 weeks. This prevented the release of about 200m tonnes of CO2. This is comparable to the amount released in the UK over 6 months. This phenomenon is noticeable worldwide to various degrees.
Having a drop in pollution levels means that the air is safer to breathe and that areas around the world are now cleaner, spared from smog and other clouds. For example, in the picture attached below, you can see the Himalayan region clearer than it has been for the past three decades.
We may reduce her fever in the long term.
As touched upon before, there is another positive aspect to having momentarily "locked down" humans. There are now fewer toxic "greenhouse gases" released into the air. These gases are what are making your Mother Nature's temperature rise too high for her own good. If this current state carries on, her temperature should not rise as drastically as we had anticipated... hopefully!
This is all great news, but I would like to warn you...
This sudden and positive recovery only occurred because we gave her a very strong, harsh, unique and, to be frank, pretty unprecedented treatment. However, I fear that once this phase ends, the symptoms may come back and possibly worsen depending on how virulently the issue resurfaces. But there is hope! You can help your Mother Nature. Just start thinking about how you could adapt your lifestyle to make her life easier. And ask people around you to help as well. The more people involved, the merrier. And I'm sure she will appreciate your engagement and reward you richly once she finally is safe and in a sustainable state.
Good luck taking care of your Mother Nature... OUR Mother Nature.
