69!

This month the Plitvice Lakes National Parks celebrates its 69th birthday!
And there is no greater birthday wish than the wish of balance between humans and nature!

We have an inseparable bond between nature that gives us healthy food, clean water, and clean air to breath. We live in the realm of nature, we are constantly surrounded by nature and interact with her every second - we simply cannot exist without nature.

And let's not forget how powerful she is!

However, because of man's thoughtless actions, ecological balance in nature is getting seriously disturbed and the pulse of human life is becoming erratic. Air and water are polluted and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and more intense.

Interaction with nature is part of a greater whole, a part of a dynamic system that needs balance! 69!

So, let the change start with ourselves, let our behaviour and policies with regard to nature and the environment be guided by a code of ethics. We need not wait to see what others do, just look at natural changes around us: heatwaves, droughts, floods, intense storms, hurricanes, landslides, an increase in the intensity and snowfall of winter storms - or just look at the amount of clean & undisturbed nature left!
There is no time for doubts and no time to waste!

We are in the midst of very troubled waters, but an unknown wise person once said:
“Sometimes We Are Taken Into Troubled Waters Not to Drown, but to Be Cleansed!”

Keep your rudder firm. And stay the course - With Nature!
