In my healing journey and learning to attain the breath awareness, I become aware of the reality that all the creatures of the world are breathing the same breath. Take action, here and now. From my physical being to the every corner of this out of balance's planet.
據統計,生物多樣性最大的威脅來源即為棲地的退化與零碎化,這是因人類恣意地將野生棲地轉換成農業用地或進行商業開發。從經濟學的角度來看,生物多樣性屬於公共財的一種,也就是大家共同擁有的資源,而這樣的利益、風險共享特性使的生物多樣性難以維持。因為即使公共財的損耗影響了多數人的權益,但平均分攤下來,每個人並不會覺得損失太大,而忽視了嚴重性。相同的,公共財如果沒有一個公權力的法規來約束,每位使用者都會盡可能的極大化自己的利益,這就是所謂的「公地悲劇」(tragedy of the commons,或翻公有地的悲劇、共同悲劇)。
