Nature’s best once again filled Klub Natur’s booth during the First International Flora and Fauna Garden Expo at the World Trade Center, in Pasay City, July 18, 19, 20. Bringing back nature is her cry together with that of other exhibitors that displayed rare flowers, environmental plants, extinct birds and wild animals.

Klub Natur’s mural photos on nature attracted many visitors including DENR Secretary Lito Atienza, Isabela Gov. Grace Padaca, Cong. Gilbert Remulla, Cong. Cynthia Villar, and other personalities and guests.

The 30 inches by 40 inches photos displayed captured subjects from as far north as Babuyan Islands and as far south as Cotabato. Each composition bore a very strong message in bringing back nature.

Where has nature gone? To kaingins. To the coppers of the rich. To the ignorance of hunters. To the greed of men. To the wasteful disintegration. To the selfish motives of individuals.

We are nature. Nature is our balancing element. Without nature, we perish. Without man nature will perish. The balance of this symbiotic relationship must be maintained at all cost. Otherwise, there is imbalance in this world. Either nature will perish. Or man will.
