In our rush for the latest gadgets and trends, we forget that nature provides us with a wealth of wonderful experiences. Instead of television, sit and watch the sky fill with the sight and sound of starlings or gaze upon the majestic determination of worker ants as they transport food. Our planet is filled with amazing sights, but we’re in danger of losing them through urban sprawl, deforestation and plain greed. In this section, wildlife writers describe their special nature moments to inspire readers to discover their own connections with the natural world, and help to conserve it
