Observing the Conflict between Human Civilisation and Mother Nature in Environmental Changes on Easter Island

摘要

Humanity has been leveraging on natural resources to create things which enriched the diversity of cultural scenic sights. The development of human civilisation has resulted in the irreversible destruction of nature, and the most serious aspect of it is that the civilisation that humans have painstakingly built up is being destroyed by their own hands. Due to the excessive felling of trees by the inhabitants of Easter Island, the original flora and fauna are being destroyed. As a result, the island inhabitants have lost their original habitat due to environmental changes, which is leading to the destruction of the very civilisation they created. Human civilisation and Mother Nature should complement each other, but human greed and ignorance have resulted in conflict in their coexistence. Whether human civilisation and nature can coexist in perfect harmony depends on how much humanity understands the natural ecosystem. There is a definite cause and effect system at play here. If humanity can cooperate with nature, it will be possible to preserve natural scenery and achieve a long-term win-win situation for Mother Nature and human civilisation.
