For centuries, humankind prospered while entwined with the flora and fauna of their native habitat. The wisdom of nature resounded through the lands with vivid harmony.
Today, due to a well-lit urban sprawl, modern humans are scarcely able to look up to the shimmering canvas above. We can often take for granted the creatures surrounding us, those dependent on an ever decreasing natural landscape. Many have recognized that it is not healthy for our kind to continue down the road of separation, deprived of enlightening experiences within the wilderness.
Enjoy all that the cosmos have mastered. Connect.
