The Homo sapiens coexist with numerous species of wildlife on this planet Earth. As haiku poets, I believe that we would be a little more aware and conscious of the beauty of nature that surrounds us. I wanted to focus on the splendour of wildlife that abounds both faraway from human habitation as well as those that are found a little more frequently around human dwellings. The love for nature and wildlife piques one’s curiosity to learn more about them. This is much needed for the conservation of the many endangered species.
