Intro: Now a days, students are living in an age where they are more stressed than relaxed. From dawn to dusk, they have a very hectic schedule. Because of cut-throat competition, poor performance and failure, parental pressure, they have no time for recreational activities, leading to bodily stress and strains. 

Intro: It is an age of technology. Students are wasting a lot of time in social media sites such as facebook, Instagram etc in counting their likes or chatting with friends. This not only Kills their imagination and creativity but also acts as a diversion and shortage of time for their academics. This excess use of technology has led to increased stress level among school-going children.

• Trafficking of exotic wild life seen ‌
• Over population, urbanisation & industrialization
• Commercial attitude of people
• unethical poaching
• extinction of wild lives & rare species
• ecological disaster
• stop unlawful poaching & protect wild lives
• stringent wild life act
• eco-friendly attitude of people [HY 2023, davcsp.org]

Honourable judges, respected teachers and dear friends! Good morning! I am here to speak on the topic “Man is the worst enemy of his fellow creatures”. 

No animal kills others unless it is hungry. No animal destroys the habitat of any other animal. Population is increasing day by day with no leaps and bounds. Consequently, needs and requirements also rising. It is the only man who kills the other animals for fulfilling his own needs. Due to rapid industrialisation and urbanization, man has started destroying nature. Trafficking of exotic wildlife, unethical poaching have become very common practice. Many creatures fall a prey to his needs for medicines, fur, nail polish etc. He does not spare even Mother Nature. Wild life and rare species are at the verge of extinction.

It is the commercial attitude of people which is responsible for deforestation, results in natural disasters such as earthquakes; floods; land sliding; tsunami, global warming,  ecological imbalances and so on. Sea level is continuously increasing day by day. Cyclones is also occurring causing heavy rain, strong and dusty winds, tornadoes. To say, it is the only man who is responsible for ecological disaster.

It is high time. It is the need of hour a stringent wildlife act should be enacted by the Indian Government. We should stop poaching, which is an unlawful activity and wild lives should be protected. Besides, eco friendly attitude should be adopted by us/ people.

Thank you.
