Slowly Gone
Personal memory by Nicole
1991 • Sarasota, FL, USA
When I was growing up, there was woods on 3 sides of our house. I caught fish, fireflies, and small reptiles as a child. As I got older, the properties were sold and developed. Over the years, the water dried up, the fireflies disappeared and the animals got more and more scarce. It really has given me a heart for conservation.
