While we're all sitting at home in quarantine, waiting for a coronavirus vaccine, we can observer minor nature rehabilitation while humans aren't out and about. The Ecolibrium Project strives to make it so that these little recoveries of nature are permanent in some way, shape, or form.

With hundreds of thousands of cases of the Covid-19 virus around the globe, most countries have enforced social distancing. Many people are unable to work, and students have been out of school for weeks now. In these devastating times, it seems nearly impossible to remain optimistic. However, in spite of these hardships, the pandemic has had unintended climate benefits globally. Here’s a look:
• In San Francisco, the concentration of fine particulate matter has decreased by nearly 40 percent in just the past five days
• New York City saw a 28 percent drop of the same particle in the same period of time
• The streets of Thailand and Japan are filled with mobs of monkeys and deer, roaming the empty streets
• A Malabar large-spotted civet, a severely endangered species, was spotted on the streets of India
The coronavirus, or COVID-19, has affected every part of our lives. Whether we are suffering from corona-virus symptoms or quarantine depression, we can take some time to appreciate the little victories. The Ecolibrium Project is a healthy and helpful outlet to focus out attention on in the midst of this crisis.

Though these times have been tough for us all, we should all do our best to remain positive. The time away from work–or school–can be used to spend with family or to focus on oneself. Remember: we’re all in this together.

God Willing, the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic will end when Zionist Israel gives Palestine back to the Palestinians.
