Wuhan in China:-

In China , where the first cases of Corona virus were detected ,a large decline in pollution and green house gases have now recorded.
The level of atmospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) first in Wuhan reduced then across the country.
This is proof that if we want, the human race can work together towards a sustainable future.

Satalite image have shown a dramatic decline in pollution level over China , which is due to an economic slow down prompted by the Corona virus, US space agency NASA says.

She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is
Not just your environment".  _Nhat Hanh

In Italy:-

The CPCB has released a report on the impact of the "Janta curfew" and lockdown, on the air quality.
Out of 91 cities that showed minimal pollution, as many as 30 cities recorded "good" air quality while 61 cities recorded. "satisfactory" air quality, the report showed.
An AQI between-
0-50------ Good
51-100----Satisfactory
101- 200----- Moderate
201- 300------ Poor
301- 400------- Very poor
401- 500------ Severe
The Air Quality Index is an assessment of the air quality by taking into account differt factors.
Delhi which battle high level of pollution almost through the year also showed significant improvement.
Due to lockdown, reduced traffic on the road, decreasing level of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the environment.

The AQI value in different cities in India


On March 21, the AQI was "moderate" in Delhi, which gradually improved from higher to lower end of the catagory. 
17 cities moving in the " satisfactory" catagory and 7 cities in " good" catagory.
On the other hand, Chennai & Mumbai remainded in the " satisfactory" catagory.
 High AQI value was seen in Kanpur also high AQI value was noted in Vapi, Ratlam (sulphur dioxide as a prominent pollutant), Satna, Singrauli and Chandrapur seemingly due to emission from industrial areas.

Due to reduction in industrial, transportation and business activity, is allowing mother nature to recharge and replenish.
With reduced water traffic in the Arabian Sea , dolphins are now being spotted jumping playfully in the water.
Due to less pollution in water and less traffic is what is making them to spot easier.

On the brighter side of the things


This  is true that world is going through a very tough time but still there is a some relaxation to our mother nature, this reduced human intervention is allowing mother nature to recharge and replenish herself.
Mother nature is healing slowly and steadily, and what better news than that!
We all should promise to protect and to support our mother nature.
