FIGHT TO WIN OR DIE
DESCRIPTION
There are countless wars in history in which the weak defeated the strong. The weak fish fought against the egret on the back of the big fish. How can the small fish win? Under the laws of nature, escape is also a victory. Biodiversity fills the Earth with vitality and is also the foundation for human survival and development. Protecting the biodiversity of the Earth requires every human being to work together to protect the environment and live in harmony.（Taken in Xiamen, China in June 2022） AUTHOR
