Hi, Nature have been there in  the world right from the time immemorial but we distrupt it, But with emarging of covid 19 pandemic which discover our weaknesses towards our activities and underscore equality between human and it environment, Now the world is taking action to restore relationship with nature, Thats wanderful but action is now, Because we don't have time, As global temperature is rising, landscape detorierating,shortage of rainfall pollution and Drought persisting, For the world to be more friendly with nature is.

1. We shouldn't see flooding as a problems but how to contain it, Global rainfall is decreasing, Thereby contrbuting to global food shortage, 2billion trees have diminished in 5yrs, Artificial desert is growing,No enough water to quench wildfire, No clean water for half of the world population, It's shouldn't be over fishing,But aboundance of fish for everyone anywhere, If only we can reserve water open more and more dams accross the globe, For more fishing and irrigation, There is more potential to flooding but only if the world will contain it. In the near future water could be a commodity of wealth. Action now.

2.Regain soil fatility to grow healthy food,As half of the world population consume whatever that comes there ways,  Unhealthy food increase risks of new deseases,  Food shotage on the rise as farmers don't have enough money to produce food base on commercial quantities, Soil fertility can improve trees growing,Grow economics trees within urban areas, So as to bring back the lost Birth so as to enjoy there singing around you, Trees filter fresh air. To grow heathyh food to meet the growing population, And for humaniterian aids.

Vulnerables will certainly benefits from the 2 friendly nature solution.

1. When we contain flooding, it can use for irrigation,more fishing, Trees growing,Filter for clean water and hygiene, And can reduce temperature level, More dams will create source for tourism,

2. Making the soil more fartile  can improve soil nutrients, Not only to grow food but also to grow economic trees, Such as Moringa, As a U-REPORT volunteer I managed to rise 100thousand Moringa seedlings/Cashew seedlings to distribute them in my community for Healthcare, For jobs creation,For climate action seeing that my community is derastically affected by climate change reducing my community to desert wall, And is trees that is resistance to hot temperature,

Drone is technology improvement so we use to check over our seedlings, 

Tree planting is essential to fight urban desertification especially, however, planting of economic trees will offer dual advantage
