1. At the beginning of his development Man was very dependent on Nature. With time, getting more knowledgeable, people began to try and conquer Nature, change the world around. New discoveries, inventions and technologies make us stronger and our lifestyle more comfortable.

2. But are we getting any wiser? Does it really pay to bring destruction to our habitat? Evidently, time has come to reconsider our relationship with Nature and cooperate instead of struggling with it.

3. Anyhow, Mother Nature is not always kind to its children. Apart from man-made we often witness natural disasters. Some people say that our planet "strikes back", taking its revenge on people. From time to time in different parts of the world volcanoes begin to erupt, earthquakes destroy towns and cities, storms, hurricanes, tornadoes and tsunamis break out. Some areas are hit by floods, droughts and forest fires. There is also a danger of meteorites and asteroids reaching the surface of the Earth in the wrong place and causing great damage. We can't get rid of these threats, but now we are not as helpless as we used to be.

4. Through the centuries people have learned to predict most of natural disasters and to protect themselves from them. They have also learned to work together on the international level if a catastrophe strikes. We help each other with food, fresh water, medicines and other essential things when necessary. Fire brigades travel long distances to help struggle with forest fires, rescue teams give a helping hand to people whose countries have been struck by disasters.

5. Astronomers all over the world watch the night sky through powerful telescopes ready to share information about any kind of danger, seismologists warn people about earthquakes, volcano eruptions and tsunamis. Meteorologists study weather, climate and other aspects of atmosphere. They develop reports and forecast from their analysis possible tornadoes and hurricanes.

6. If people can't always live in harmony with Nature, they can at least try to live in harmony with other people and solve our common problems together.
