Mother earth is a unique planet unparalleled by its wide variety of flora and
fauna. It is distinctive in the sense that it is the only planet where human life
knowingly exists. It has gifted human beings with the richness of minerals and
natural resources besides the biodiversity, forests and wildlife adding feathers
to its crown. Human intelligence has made the man walk on the moon and
well beyond in space to use the resources for taking civilization to the present
era of extreme advancement reflected in urbanization, industrialization and
global trade.
