Hello, #steem and #travel lovers...

As a country with many scenic landscapes, Indonesia has a climate that's unique from other countries. The world has recognized this beauty too. The most significant thing right now is not recognized, but how can we continue that beauty for the next generation. It is true, we should be proud of the appreciation of other countries for the beautiful nature in Indonesia. However, when we talk about caring for nature, we are still lagging behind in nature conservation programs compared to other countries. How could I not? Illegal logging still happens frequently, forest fires, rivers poisoned by waste, and hunting without permits, are still often viral in the media.

Our appreciation for nature that we have is often not as big as the appreciation shown by other countries. However, their concern for the preservation of their nature is very high and very clear. Sometimes we throw away garbage carelessly, or we destroy natural resources so that we can build cities and tall buildings.

These attitudes are very contrary to the spirit of preserving natureRight now, we may not be able to correct that problem. However, should we continue to do so for ourur children? No, this can't happen again. Therefore we need a generation who cares about nature and that starts with the closest people and they are our children. So, our job now is to invite children to love nature around them from an early age.

Teaching them from an early age is not only to love nature but to foster a caring attitude towards nature by teaching them to protect and preserve it and I think there are several things we can do, including:

First,

Let's show our children the value of nature by taking them on walks to places that are closely related to nature. Flower gardens, forests, rivers, lakes and seas are some of the places that come in direct contact with nature. Apart from finding beautiful places, they have the opportunity to get to know the variety of animals and plants that can be found in these places. By seeing directly it will be easier for you to teach them to care about nature. Furthermore, it's a good idea to provide them with books that contain information about preserving nature in order to increase their knowledge.

Second,

Never hesitate to invite them to play with nature, such as throwing mud at each other, swimming, playing with sand ord feeding animals. We show them that playing with nature is very fun, let us show that the animals also need human affection.

Third,

Teach them that trash is the real enemy of natural beauty. Let them eat chocolate, but the chocolate wrappers should be thrown away in the space provided. Introduce them to plastics that are not biodegradable by nature. At the same time, apart from educating them on how to live a clean and healthy life, we also teach them that garbage will cause trees and animals to suffer.

Fourth,

Invite them to get involved in activities related to nature conservation directly. This can be done such as by planting trees and flowers and watering them, releasing the young turtles to the beach and such as rescuing wild cats on the road. from these examples they will get lessons and they will remember throughout their lives about the synergy between humans as guardians of nature and nature that provides a million benefits to humans.

We need to do the things above from an early age, not just to make them happy with the beautiful story that we once felt, but they actually find a different reality now will be a big question in their heads, where is the natural beauty that was once told to them?, where is the pride their parents had for the beauty of nature? In the end, they will think that reality is just a story during their bedtime.

We as parents also feel sad if our current children only get to enjoy the remnants of that natural beauty. In the most extreme case, they may blame us since we cannot protect the environment.

Finally......

We do what we do now simply to make them happy to hear our stories about nature as we explain them. However, we also have provided a valuable lesson to love nature from an early age, and you feel it. They will remember this until they grow up since it will be an unforgettable moment for them.
