Like everything, the lockdown around the world in times of Covid-19 has had its own side effects. Though a bit ironic amidst this disaster, but it seems that someone has pressed the refresh button for the earth. And taught us, in a silent yet powerful way, that it’s time to take care of our planet! And preserve and renew our threatened ecological balances.
