Since ancient times Nature has served Man, being the source of his life. For thousands of years people lived in harmony with environment. But with the development of civilization man’s interference with nature began to increase. Large cities with thousands of smoky industrial enterprises appear all over the world today. They pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink, the land we live in. Many cities suffer from smog. Vast forests are cut and burnt in fire. As a result, some rare species of animals, birds, fish and plants disappear forever, a number of rivers and lakes dry up. Environmental protection is a universal concern. That is why serious measures to create a system of ecological security should be taken. The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in April 1986 caused radioactive pollution of a vast area. Who knows what possible effects on health or longer-term genetic effects this pollution may have. The international organization Greenpeace is also doing much to preserve the environment. The Earth is our home. We must take care of it for ourselves and next generations.
