The growth of industry is an important feature of civilisation. But industrial growth is
not an unmixed blessing. It has polluted the atmosphere, it has disturbed the
ecological balance, it has created tense situations in human relations and it has posed
a serious threat to plants, trees, greenery, and wildlife in the jungle.
Animals form an important part of jungle life. The deer, elephants, lions, tigers,
leopards, birds and other beasts indicate the living existence of wildlife. In the course
of time, many species of this wildlife have become extinct because they could not
face the grim struggle for survival as they were unfit in the process of survival of the
fittest. It is a matter of deep concern that some of the rare animal species are still
being poached. We must genuinely feel the need to protect wild animals. Now we
are better civilised than the past when we used to kill animals for food because we
used to live on them. Now, we kill animals for pleasure.
Man is a symbol of love, kindness, compassion, and nobleness. He has already
crossed the jungle stage of civilisation. He must now feel that if he wants to establish
God's kingdom on this planet, he must first sow the seeds of love, mercy, and
compassion in the soil of this earth. In this process, he should love not only his fellow
human beings but also birds and beasts. He must protect them. Coleridge, the great
romantic poet, has beautifully said that God loves those who first love His creatures.

This idea has also been expressed by Coleridge in his long poem, The Ancient
Manner.
