Save The World’s Environment Oh Andorra! 12.11.2023
Nation by Nation appeal to save the earth
Oh Andorra!
The sixth smallest nation in Europe
What is it about size, does size matter?
You prove that no matter how small
Andorra, you are a place to be, one loves to see
And you are a place immigrants make home
Anyone who cares about details boggles their minds
All about in particular
11th-smallest population, in the world, about 78,000 people
A nation of very many few people indeed
Yet in excess of 10 million people see you yearly
Attracted by mountains, forests, wildlife, and all
16th-smallest country by land, in the world, 468 Kms
May the visitors to walk well not to step on your feet
Your main home, Andorra la Vella,
Is the highest capital city in Europe,
1,023 metres (3,356 feet) up the sea
For your sake, they must measure as below the lowest clouds
You are bordered by France and Spain,
Many of your people and immigrants speak Catalan Spanish
Yet you aren’t a member of European Union
But you love doing it the United Nations way
You are located in eastern Pyrenees rugged mountain range
That Coma Pedrosa rugged mountain stands 9,652 ft above the sea
These hovering heights invite several suitors to you
The bird suitors like Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International
Praise you for forest and mountain birds guard
True red-billed choughs, citril finches and rock buntings are yours
UNESCO also claims your Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley
Humans love to ski around your yards
Even though you refuse two thirds of 78,000 voting rights
You are not politically mean, them worry not.
Nature is generous to you in historic sites
Roc de les Bruixes (Witches' Rock) rock art dates 2500-1800 BC
Sant Serni de Nagol Romanesque church dates back to C11th-12th AD.
Sant Martí de la Cortinada a Romanesque church dates to C12th-13th AD.
Casa de la Vall House of C16th-century, took long to politics
This was Andorran Parliament until 2011
The sweet knowledge that you proudly have more than
1,000 species of plants and 200 species of animals.
Specifics as Pyrenean chamois, the brown bear, and the marmot
Yet the world decries:
- The air water pollution
- Vehicle emissions and wood burning
- Agricultural runoff, and sewage treatment plant effluent
- Rising average temperatures
Save the water, save the land, save the air, save the wildlife,
Save the awesome mountains and all the beauty
