There was a time when people believed nature was the most powerful force; them holding nature in the highest regard, attributing human’s very existence to nature’s power and influence. Nature is, and will always be responsible for creating and sustaining all forms of life. Decades later, this ain’t the same story now.

Today, as a new era of technological advancements and intellectual achievements is dawning across the globe, the world is also facing grave consequences from the exploitation of natural resources. Despite entering a new epoch of technological sophistication, we often overlook the looming iceberg of doom, such as the silent disappearance of biodiversity contributing to the plaguing damage to the ecosystem. 

The most pressing concerns are deforestation, the extinction of species, and the slow, insidious degradation of soil, air and water quality with pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons, herbicides, chemical byproducts, and heavy metal compounds spreading their poison on our fragile planet too.

Governments and local bodies have undertaken a myriad of initiatives and projects to reduce pollution and shield the environment from the relentless assault of industrial, agricultural, and household waste. Yet, despite these measures, the results shimmer only partially in the light. Conventional remediation processes at contaminated sites, such as excavation and removal, pump treatment, soil vapor extraction, and other chemical treatments, are often costly, less effective, time-consuming, and disruptive to the environment. The quest for a harmonious balance with our environment continues with great efforts seeking resonance that remains elusive, but still attainable.
