    The COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity to reset the global economy and reverse decades of ecosystem and species losses, but most countries are failing to invest in nature-related economic reforms or investments.

    The nutrient cycle is nature's recycling system. All forms of recycling have feedback loops that use energy in the process of putting material resources back into use. Recycling in ecology is regulated to a large extent during the process of decomposition

    Natural resources are living and nonliving materials in the environment that are used by humans. There are two types: renewable (wildlife, fish, timber, water) and nonrenewable (fossil fuels and minerals).

    There is a huge range of plastics used in disposable products and packaging, and this plastic cocktail often makes it difficult to separate the reusable plastics from the non-reusable ones.

    When we speak about conserving nature, we are really talking about taking care of our future, because nature provides essential resources for our survival and enjoyment.
