Day Trip- Wapole

SL and I had a smashing time at Wapole today. The journey took about 3.5 hours. But the trip was well-worthed afterall. We went for the tree-top walk in the morning and had an eco-cruise luncheon. Gary, the guide for the eco-cruise, is really fantastic and knowledgeable.

The eco-trip reminds me once again how man are "mistreating" our environment, and how little attention we are devoting to enforcing laws, to protect our fragile Earth from further damage. Well, we are human afterall. It is only understandable that economic and political advantages comes before anything else.

I recall an article published in the Jan Edition of National Geographic Magazine, about the murder of Dorothy Stang. All she did was trying to protect the Amazon Basin from extensive deforrestation. In doing so, she agitated 2 gunmen, who obviously had no regards for the previous existence of wildlife and the diversed species (known or unknown to man) of the forest.

The brutality of mankind is all too insane. I wonder what the world has come to. Those who do good are no longer rewarded deservingly.

Anyway, here's some pics for all to savour, before all these beautiful creations of God vanish for good.
