  title of the text about nature and environment  
     
  WHY SHOULD WE PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT?

Nature is a perfect but also fragile entity. Everything Nature has created plays an important role in it; we must therefore preserve and protect our environment. Everything Nature created has a role to play in that balance, is a link in the same chain.

A plant or an animal species affects the entire planet when born. And when that plant or that animal species disappears, a link in that chain is broken and the whole planet suffers, and Man perhaps more than any other species.

Geographical environment
The landscape in the colour illustration below represents the geographical environment around Penguin's house. As you know, Penguin is the main character in the story Penguin and the Fig tree.

The illustration features natural and artificial elements: the natural elements are the Sun, the sea, the dunes, the clouds, and the pine trees. The artificial elements are the house and the boats because they are hand-made. To find out about these environment elements you just have to use your computer mouse and... click on each of the elements below.
