Why did I choose this topic?
I come from a region or a continent where the environment, primarily the fauna and flora are so important to the people. It serves for their food and for their protection. However I have seen how year after year since my birth food has been hard and protection has reduced and calamities have multiplied. It has been caused by us men and also by the people that to over our countries.

It is for this reason that I want to research and write an essay on this topic. Hoping that we can end up having a good base for our various religions to help protect the environment or conclude that there is no way for the religions to do anything for that.
