Nature Knows 03 - And She Acts

Let me tell you a story, many years ago in Jamaica, people suffered huge loss of crops due to proliferation of rats. To rein in the rat population Jamaican government brought mongooses from India, who of course, did their job well. Mongooses multiplied in numbers manifold, once rats grew fewer they turned to birds for food. When birds disappeared insects harmful to the crops increased in huge numbers and damage to crops was higher. What man deems good is not good for Nature, his acts serve only to vitiate Her equilibrium. When the balance of Nature is disturbed, the damage is repaired naturally, She brooks no interference extraneous. For, Nature knows! She knows better!
