Answer:
Martin Kiszko’s poem, "Whose Place Is It Anyway" sends a plea to everyone to stop abusing the beautiful treasures of our planet. The small creatures like the koala and the mole and even the majestic ones like the jaguar of the Amazon and the hippo of Africa – each are precious lives. It’s not just the animals that are threatened, but the Mpingo. The tree is symbolic as well. The demand for more land for urbanisation, for the construction of roads, settlement and shopping malls etc. are claiming forests the beautiful habitat of so many species of animals who are now dying or coming into human settlements as they have nowhere to go. Deforestation be stopped and conservation of forests which are left to be started is the poet’s plea to everyone.
