We have to find the wolf and ask for forgiveness, to revive the devastated world.
When the world first came into being. The whole world was filled with the smell of wet soil and the scent of fir trees. The beasts, big and small, lived under the care of the wolves, following the movement of the stars and the moon. When the wolves started singing, everyone came to listen to the wolves. When the wolf sang, the wind fell still, and the whole forest set its ears. When the wolf sang, everyone had a dream that was as cozy as snow and as warm as the sun.
By the way… One day, a two-legged race broke into the forest and killed the first wolf. Then he killed the second and third wolves. The two-legged race was afraid of the power of the wolf. So I killed him and killed him again and again. Finally, the wolves hid in a place that no one could find. The moon and stars lost their light, and silence filled the ground. The world without the song of the wolf or the story of the wolf has become scary, dry, and lonely.
I have to find the wolf and ask for forgiveness. To drive away silence and live by following the movement of the stars and the moon again. But who's going to find the wolf? In a car that no one dared, a little girl steps out. "I'll do it."
an ecological fable that is elegantly and mysteriously solved in poetic language
Wolves, along with humans, are the most prosperous mammals, to the extent that most of the Earth was once home to wolves. But as the population exploded, the forests dwindled, and humans hunted wolves at random, considering them harmful animals that ate livestock and herbivores. As a result, the wolves decreased dramatically and were on the verge of extinction.
But something unexpected happened. I thought peace would come if only wolves disappeared, but when the top predator, wolves disappeared, the number of herbivores increased tremendously, and the ecosystem was ruined as they ate grass and trees at random. Fortunately, efforts to restore wolves are now underway around the world, as it turns out that they help balance the ecosystem. Fourteen wolves, who returned after 70 years to revive the devastated Yellowstone National Park in the United States, are a case in point.
This book, "Come Back, Save the Forest," is an ecological fable that is elegantly and mysteriously solved in poetic language. The author Alis Lienaar metaphorically tells the story of a wolf and ecosystem restoration that disappeared when the world first emerged, taking the reader back to a long time ago when he lived following the movement of the stars and the moon. The author warns that when a part of nature disappears, the world turns scary, dry and lonely, and says that children have the hope of protecting the world through a little girl who seeks forgiveness from wolves at the end of a moonless night.
I want the children who read this book to think about the creatures that live together depending on each other. I also hope that humans and nature will think about ways to be happy.
The girl and the grandmother bear, and a group of young female wolves and wolves finally came back to the forest.
Everyone was waiting for them to come back.
It was just like when the world first came into being.
The moon and stars shone again, the smell of wet soil and the scent of fir trees pervaded.
