5. The Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) is also called
greater one-horned rhinoceros and Asian one-horned
rhinoceros and belongs to the Rhinocerotidae family. Listed
as a vulnerable species, the large mammal is primarily found
in parts of north-eastern India and in protected areas in the
Terai of Nepal, where populations are confined to the
riverine grasslands in the foothills of the Himalayas.
Typically weighing between 1,600 to 3,500 kg (3,500 to
7,700 lb), it is the fourth largest land animal.
The Indian rhinoceros once ranged throughout the entire
stretch of the Indo-Gangetic Plain but excessive hunting
reduced their natural habitat drastically. Today, about 3,000
rhinos live in the wild, 2,000 of which are found in India's
Assam alone.

6. The biblical unicorn may have been a wild ox, but the great
Indian rhinoceros is similar to a unicorn: it has a single horn,
usually about 53 cm long, and it is very hard to find, being
among the rarest mammals in the world today.
The Rhino’s horn is not a true horn, but consists of
compressed hair, and the animal prefers to defend itself with
its canine teeth with which it can make horrible gashes.
Rhinos became extinct in America long ago, and are becoming
much scarcer in other parts of the world, but there are still five
species remaining: two in Africa and three in Asia. They are
the largest land mammals after the elephant and weigh from
1,800 to 3,600 kg.

11. Mother Nature (sometimes known as Mother Earth) is a
common personification of nature that focuses on the life-
giving and nurturing aspects of nature by embodying it in the
form of the mother. Images of women representing mother
earth, and mother nature, are timeless. In prehistoric times,
goddesses were worshipped for their association with fertility,
fecundity, and agricultural bounty. Priestesses held dominion
over aspects of Incan, Algonquian, Assyrian, Babylonian,
Slavonic, Germanic, Roman, Greek, Indian, and Iroquoian
religions in the millennia prior to the inception of patriarchal
religions.

12. It is time that we put a side our differences, our egos, and our superficial little worlds that we live
in. The world that we all live in is calling for our help. Mother earth is in danger, more danger
than before because of the melting ice in the Arctic. Some may ask," why should I save earth".
Mother earth provides the air that we breathe, the food that we eat, and the water that we drink.
The future cant be predicted, it can only be created, we have the power to change events before
they happen. We are all worlds and the co creator of our life and reality's. We are the co creators
of this planet. When oil is dumped in mother earths oceans, when her air is polluted, her surface
filled with trash, and her children dying from starvation she cry's out to us with the after shocks.
The after shocks are tornadoes, hurricanes,tsunami's, land slides, and earth quakes. We can not
live in our little worlds and turn a blind eye to what is going on to our planet. We are a part of
mother earth. We need to step out of our little worlds and pay attention, because if this world
does not survive, than our little worlds will not survive. Living from our heart center and
showing mother earth love will help heal her. Doing things to help contribute to the environment
and holding peace rally's for the healing of mother earth will send love, and positive energy to
mother earths atmosphere. She has to know that we love her. Love is the greatest power in the
universe, and this will save the planet. Showing mother earth love will help cushion the polar
shift to decrease the number death toll that the shift will cause. We have to get up and take a
stand to save mother earth, our life depends on it. If we don't, our children and our children's
children will have a dim future or no future at all.
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look
on and do nothing.

14. Do your part to reduce waste by choosing reusable products instead of
disposables. Buying products with minimal packaging (including the
economy size when that makes sense for you) will help to reduce
waste. And whenever you can, recycle paper, plastic, newspaper, glass
and aluminum cans. If there isn't a recycling program at your
workplace, school, or in your community, ask about starting one. By
recycling half of your household waste, you can save 2,400 pounds of
carbon dioxide annually.

15. Adding insulation to your walls and attic, and installing weather stripping
or caulking around doors and windows can lower your heating costs more
than 25 percent, by reducing the amount of energy you need to heat and
cool your home.
Turn down the heat while you're sleeping at night or away during the day,
and keep temperatures moderate at all times. Setting your thermostat just 2
degrees lower in winter and higher in summer could save about 2,000
pounds of carbon dioxide each year.
