Whenever we are using hilly or undulating land for our benefit such as farming or homes, we are dealing directly with nature.
When we think about it, we can see that it has taken nature millions of years to create a system of harmony that seems to work. Now we are trying to modify this to fit our needs.
Living with nature by making as little changes as possible.
Kundasang, Sabah
We may change some or all of this to fit our needs. We can do this in two ways. We can work in harmony with nature and do as little damage as possible to the delicately balanced system. Or we can fight nature by slashing and destroying and leaving lasting scars. At the same time destabilizing the delicate eco-system and setting the stage for future disasters.
We should work in harmony with nature by minimizing our impact on the existing natural state as much as possible. We can create farms or build homes and make changes just enough to suit us.
