Of Dolphins and Bats

Of Dolphins and Bats

Dolphins, Whales and Bats are mammals and have a hard time surviving in nature. And it is becoming harder and harder for them! Be it the oil spills in the oceans for the maritime mammals or be it that bats are inhabiting old buildings which are getting modernized. Thus the bats are losing their habitat.

Science and Climate Change

For most of our existence, humanity has done without science. And we have survived! Humanity has come to a point in history where we have to reevaluate our way of thinking. From the beginnings of our beings our survival was determined by trial and error and now on science.
