The Responsibility to Preserve the Balance of the World
To preserve the fundamental balance of our world, which has been disrupted by human intervention, we must address the global picture, ranging from atomic bombs to the ozone layer, from oil spills to fires.
The measurable and immeasurable effects of animals, plants, fungi and water... The divine balance disrupted by human intervention; a global picture ranging from atomic bombs to the ozone layer, from oil spills to fires.
Nature: Not a Coincidence, but a System
Nature is not the product of chance; it is a system based on measure, balance, and continuity. The concept of mizan in religious texts and modern ecological science point to the same conclusion: When one element is disrupted, the entire structure is affected.
The Measurable Impact of Animals
The elimination of predators has led to population explosions, while the decline in bees has directly caused a loss in agricultural yield. The mucilage (sea foam) crisis in the Sea of Marmara has strikingly highlighted the role of marine life in the ecosystem.
Plants and Soil Balance
Natural vegetation holds the soil, balances water and stores carbon. Although monoculture farming provides short-term gains, in the long term it exhausts the soil and makes the ecosystem fragile. Fungi: The Invisible Network Fungi decompose dead matter, form symbiotic relationships with plants and keep the soil alive. When this invisible network beneath the forest collapses, life above it collapses too.
Water and Global Catastrophes
Oil spills such as Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon have shown that water is not just a resource, but the carrier of all life. If water becomes polluted, a chain reaction of collapse begins.
Human Intervention and Tipping Points
The thinning of the ozone layer, atomic bombs, and industrial accidents symbolise the damage humans inflict on nature and themselves when they use their power uncontrollably.
The Golden Value of Wilderness Areas
Untouched areas are pristine, unspoilt ecological infrastructure. The cost of restoration far exceeds the cost of protection. Therefore, every untouched area today has strategic value.
States, Power and Responsibility
States are established to maintain order. Policies based on respect for nature bring protection; approaches based on self-interest accelerate destruction.
Conclusion: The Necessity of Integrated Living
Animals, plants, fungi, waters and humans are all parts of a single system. None of them were created in vain. Humans cannot manage this system; they can only live in harmony with it.
