Nature has no borders

In your book, Our Wondrous World (Chapter 10), you learn that when we look at the Earth from far above, we do not see borders or lines between countries. Nature has no boundaries. Air, water, clouds, and even seeds and animals move freely across the world.

The first story in the chapter is 'The Travelling Birds!'. Have you seen pink and black birds flying in big groups? Those are rosy starlings! Every winter, they fly thousands of kilometres from the southern part of Russia, from Mongolia and from nearby countries, all the way to India.

The rosy starlings enjoy the warm weather in India. They eat locusts and grasshoppers, which are pests that harm the crops. So these small birds help our farmers!

When animals move freely and safely across the world, it shows how deeply nature is connected across the globe.
