God has his best creation. we have to always recreate, forgetting the rest. Nature gives us all the vibes. Helps everyone overcome anything. A happy man, visits or takes a tour for peace. A sad person always wishes for a mood change, helps him regain back with an environment change.
A flowing water sound, sunrise, beautiful woods, rain, breeze, shelter, and a warm blanket perfect for people who wish for a vacation- a honeymoon package. An environmentalist feels to clean , focus on improving forests, planting more trees.
For a poet, nature itself is the motivation to write quotes. A small poetry I tried:
Nature has its own mystical power, which gives everyone a cover. A wonderful feeling when you see a river, it is for itself a magical giver. The Greenery which is magnificent, covering up the hot sun. With a beautiful river flowing in between, giving the best fun.
Mountains stand as walls, Forests as its roof. If you touch any, falls- without it, it's tough. Numerous ways of expressing nature. keeps mind calm, helps us growing.
A beautiful sunrise, Sun that keeps us warm, weather with cold winds, breeze, Drizzling, football in rain, hot hot Maggie in winter, that amazing spring and autumn flowers, snow flakes, snow man, dazzling sunsets, waves, thunder, lightning giving it an amazing end to the night. Different countries, different nature view. Experience the beauty of nature. Travel the world. Pull yourself back with nature and its calm way which says thousands of things. Listen to them , have faith, indulge in it.
Have travelled places. Explored different nature. Very hot environment to cold. Turning nature beautifully from sunrise to sunset. Beautiful scenares. Amazing waterfalls, thick green forests, sunset waves, cold breezes, snow falls, snow flakes, ice burg, oceans, lakes, rivers enormous beauty of nature.
Sharing some of the experiences with Nature: #1: The trip to chikmagalore(Karnataka) This is a beautiful place for trek, resorts, site seeing. Had been with friends. Beautiful mountainairing experience, amazing wind , little waterfalls in between, cold environment, early morning sunrise being less hot and then turning to very cold weather. Beautiful view at the mountain top. Nature at its beauty giving an amazing sight to eyes.
#2: Trip to Manali(Himachal Pradesh) Cold place by nature. There was - Degrees, amazing chilly weather. Early morning snowfall, experienced the snow walk, built snow man, wore the cold protection vest, played in the manali ice walk. When I came back to hotel, I just could not wash my hands in the water, It was ice cold, I could not change my dress. Room with water heater, which never was hot. Hand gloves were the best care. Take them out, you are in trouble. Amazing place to explore nature and weather.
#3: Trip to Bali(Indonesia) This is one different place. Very similar culture resembling India. Nature with respect to waterfalls, greenery, landscapes amazing. Beautiful mountains, different waterfalls, water swings. loved the crescent moon light night, sea with those thundering waves, dazzling sand, islands. Nature has its best way of showing it as an amazing beautiful way to cure any relationship, toxic, bring back anyone to life, people lost are found.
#4: My Native (Mattur) Have got an amazing river (Tunga) flowing, containing thousands of stones and steps on its bank, people perform their evening sandhyavandana. There is a boat that lets us move from one village to another through this river. There is a dam, that will show us the beautiful water reservoir. Forests, waterfalls, temples, mountains, caves are the near by spots to capture.
Life has this beautiful Nature to live upon, roam, explore, learn, exhibit, try and create good memories. Enjoy the beauty, learn to accept and listen to what nature has to tell you. Have that giving nature to nature. It will outgrow your personality. Help plant trees, protect environment, live a happy life. Stay well! stay Safe.

Poverty
In Life you can adjust with certain set of pain. But when it comes to basic like less-money it is a worst time for anyone on earth. It is a place where anyone (human / animals/ living creatures ) can get into any level to fulfil its hunger. It will teach you all it's worth. Everyone will experience it at once in life, it kills, anyone without needing a knife.

"NASA satellites confirm that China’s Great Green Wall is effectively slowing desert expansion and reshaping entire regions
NASA satellite data has confirmed what scientists, policymakers, and local communities in China have hoped for decades: the Great Green Wall is working. Designed to slow the relentless expansion of deserts across northern China, this ambitious ecological project is not only reducing desertification but also reshaping entire regions—environmentally, economically, and socially. Often compared to Africa’s Great Green Wall, China’s version is one of the largest environmental engineering projects in human history. Officially known as the Three-North Shelter Forest Program, it stretches across northern, northeastern, and northwestern China, covering an area larger than many countries. Launched in 1978, the project aims to combat desert expansion, reduce sandstorms, protect farmland, and stabilize local climates through large-scale tree planting and vegetation restoration. For years, critics questioned whether planting trees in arid and semi-arid regions was sustainable. Some argued that trees would consume scarce groundwater, while others doubted whether satellite images could capture meaningful ecological change. Now, decades later, NASA’s satellite observations provide compelling evidence that the Great Green Wall is having a measurable and positive impact. According to satellite data, vegetation cover across northern China has increased significantly. Areas once dominated by shifting sand dunes now show stable plant growth, reduced soil erosion, and improved land productivity. These changes are not isolated; they span vast regions, indicating that the project is influencing ecosystems on a continental scale. Desert expansion, once advancing at alarming rates, has slowed dramatically in several high-risk zones. One of the most visible benefits has been the reduction in sandstorms. Cities like Beijing, which once endured frequent and severe dust storms originating from nearby deserts, have seen noticeable improvements in air quality. NASA imagery reveals that wind-blown dust has decreased as vegetation acts as a natural barrier, anchoring soil and reducing airborne particles. This has direct public health benefits, lowering respiratory illnesses and improving overall quality of life for millions of residents. Beyond environmental gains, the Great Green Wall is reshaping regional economies. Stabilized land allows farmers to reclaim fields once lost to encroaching deserts. In some areas, agroforestry—combining trees with crops—has created new income streams while maintaining ecological balance. Satellite data shows that these mixed-use landscapes are more resilient to drought and climate extremes than monoculture farming systems. The project has also influenced local climate patterns. Increased vegetation helps regulate surface temperatures and moisture levels. NASA observations indicate slight increases in local rainfall and reductions in surface heat in reforested zones. While these changes may seem modest, over large areas they contribute to more stable weather patterns and reduced vulnerability to climate shocks. However, the success of the Great Green Wall is not uniform. Satellite analysis also reveals areas where tree survival rates are low or where non-native species struggle to adapt. In response, China has adjusted its strategy, shifting from mass tree planting to ecosystem-based restoration. This includes planting native grasses and shrubs, restoring wetlands, and allowing natural regeneration where possible. The evolving approach reflects lessons learned from decades of experimentation. Another key factor behind the project’s effectiveness is long-term commitment. Unlike short-term environmental campaigns, the Great Green Wall spans generations. NASA’s ability to track changes over decades has been crucial in demonstrating progress that would be invisible on shorter timelines. This long-view perspective underscores an important lesson for global climate efforts: meaningful ecological recovery takes time, patience, and sustained investment. Internationally, China’s experience is drawing attention. Countries facing desertification—from parts of Africa to the Middle East and Central Asia—are studying the Great Green Wall as a model. NASA’s confirmation adds scientific credibility, showing that large-scale land restoration can work when supported by data, adaptive management, and local participation. Still, challenges remain. Climate change continues to intensify droughts, heatwaves, and extreme weather events, threatening fragile restored ecosystems. Experts caution that the Great Green Wall is not a permanent solution but a dynamic system that requires continuous monitoring, maintenance, and adaptation. Satellite technology will remain essential in identifying stress points and guiding future interventions. In the end, NASA’s findings do more than validate a single project—they reshape how we think about humanity’s relationship with nature. The Great Green Wall demonstrates that environmental degradation is not always irreversible. With science, long-term planning, and political will, even vast deserts can be slowed, reshaped, and partially healed. As the world searches for solutions to climate change and land degradation, China’s Great Green Wall stands as a powerful example: proof that large-scale environmental action, guided by data from space, can transform landscapes on Earth.
