After how long will man discover the precarious position he occupies on earth? More so on the consequences of his actions onto the environment thus his existence.This question is usually brushed aside and taken for granted as man continues to live without a care of, if not his life, that of future generations; until catastrophic events such as floods, famines and disease take their toll.

In Africa, the sound of the red-eyed dove sings us out of our dreams. It is here that the Ibis calls and our spirits are charged for yet another busy day. This musical awakening cements our long established bond with our environment that releases a chemistry of salutary value to our congested existence.

While conservation organisations, like the East African Wild Life Society go to great lengths in their efforts to save threatened forests and wildlife, more efforts are required in creating environmental awareness. In fact such efforts would go to waste without sensitisation of the people for who conservation is for and by in the long term.Valentina Mmaka’s anecdote explores contentious issues in conservation in Kenya including the devastation of forests, marine and wildlife.

The revolutionary nature of the story not only creates awareness, but also provokes a reader to take action against environmental ruin.Here is a book since the ‘Animal Farm’ that animates all life form thus creating collective appreciation of the mutuality of the predicament. Likewise the solution is communally sought and effected through unity and affirmative action by all.

This book is a good read for the environmentally concerned and a suitable candidate as a schools English literature text.

Mazingara yana Tuambia - The Voice of the Nature

There’s a phrase, in the perhaps more meaningful book for the world, that says.: “Or speak to the earth, and it will teach to you…” This book is the Bible and what it says is true. The Earth is not only our mother, our dwelling, the one who feed us and slake the thirst of us, than protect us and amuse us, inspires us. It represents, with its living creatures, a balanced and harmonious universe where every being is necessary to the other. This book is born from my love for Africa, the earth where I have grown, where I have fixed my dwelling and of which I feel daughter devout person, affectionate sister, friend accomplice and protecting mother. Africa is a generous earth and remains difficult not to feel, although far from it, to belong to her, the anthropological mother of all the human beings.

Who is born and lives in countries like Africa, where the spaces are immense, the animal and vegetation species incalculable and the men organized in tribes giving, life to traditions and cultures various they, very soon learn to know the Nature and the value of the life that it standard. In such sense the African animism is present to remember us that the nature speaks to us and is up to us to know to listen it. In Africa the animism tradition, that it attributes to the species living pulsating life and identifies in each of them one privileged interlocutor in the daily life of the aboriginal populations, is not only one sideboard, but one life style, a way to think and to feel.

The western society, in its gasping and awkward search of the power and the wealth, has always putted the environment into risk together with its living beings. The wood of the trees, the minerals of the subsoil, the land and marine space, rich everyone of ambles trophies and libations, all is needed by the human being in order to satisfy his own greed of superfluous aspirations.

It is felt to speak from deforestation since several years, but it does not regard only the great Amazonian Forest but also Africa. It upsets the habitats, those natural places where they cohabit species of animals and vegetation. The deforestation, the overheating of the earth, due also to the effects of the Ozone hole, forces the animals to look for food putting into risk elsewhere, the cultivations that are found besieged from a fauna that cannot more live its natural environment and for this the animals are found forced to migrate in territories which are not theirs.

Africa is our mother, the heart of the world, thousands of tribes lives in its immense territory, respecting the nature and depending on it. In Africa, the nature is for the aboriginal, a source of natural medicines, food, ornaments, rooms and sacredness. The action of the indigenous on the Nature is never punitive in the comparisons of it, there’ s always a total respect, pantheist who joins him to it like a only cosmos.

We can indeed imagine that the Earth, in the short term of twenty years, will be undressed of three quarters of the ground of forests and savana will lose their colours, their breath will be gasping and their creatures will limp awkward as old ill? The life of the seas will be destroyed and subsoil, rich of useful minerals to the fertility of the land, examined in depth the end in the more intimate depths. The extinction of one single animal, vegetation, human species, it is a catastrophe because to it they achieve other losses, all painful and harmful ones for every living being. Every ecosystem that characterizes our Planet is a world to itself, in it they live species of animals and vegetation that guarantee the existence and characterize its particularity. Inside of these natural ecosystems lives the indigenous populations, tribes who depend from the environment and from the land in which they are born and grown. To deprive them of their land means to deny them the life, the possibility to be, to exist. If only for a moment we'll try to go far away from the place where we are, and we try to length the sight until the origin of the world, we could perhaps watch to our life and the nature in a pantheistic way, that it wants every living being, from the smallest bug the great mammal, from the single thread of grass top to the tree, from the warrior to the mild fisherman, a part of us, everyone necessary to the other, all part of the same system, balanced and harmonious.
