Temple in forests

During our travels, we have chance, 

visit places, of religious significance, 

with prayers, we offer our devotion,

yet, there are things, come to attention,

of their role, in nature's conservation. 


Temples in forests... 


It's a testimony of coexistence, 

between us and our environment, 

in sacred spaces of our deities,

there's also protection, of biodiversity,

in the surrounding territories. 


For, humans form a deeper connection,

accepting responsibilities, with reverence, 

communities forge a sense of ownership, 

to both temple and neighboring jungles,

and helping in habitat preservation. 


They might get more crowded,

becoming popular spot for tourists,

from worships to picnic gatherings,

they would be adversely impacting,

by putting pressures, on the resources. 


Still, they support local economies,

giving incentives, to keep supporting,

keeping the place, free from damages,

of individual or organized development,

away from sight, of government policies.
