Stop killing birds, protect environment
Sree Jashodhan Pramanik, Bampara, Natore
In order to live a healthy life, a healthy environment is needed for everyone-- human beings, animals, plants and birds. As we, the human beings are most powerful, the responsibility of maintaining the ecological balance chiefly depends on us. Smokes and wastes of factories, chemical fertilisers used in croplands are very harmful for the environment. Millions of tons of toxic material released from these factories have been polluting the water and thus affecting our health. We use tons of poisonous elements to prevent insects in the farmlands, which gives us a temporary relief. But its adverse effect last for a long period. And this may be disastrous for various aquatic lives including fishes. Agricultural products (vegetables) are also affected by these poisonous ingredients and through taking such vegetables we may suffer from various diseases. Birds play a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance. They do it through picking insects off the arable lands. So we need protect all sorts of birds to maintain a healthy ecological balance in our country. But often they fall prey to a group of people who kill these birds with airgun. Birds act as our silent friends. In order to protect them and to maintain a balanced environment we must ban air guns. The Ministry of Forest and Environment may kindly take up appropriate measures to ban the use of airgun.
