Acharya Prashant discusses the critical state of nature and biodiversity, emphasizing that receiving awards like the 'Most Influential Vegan' from PETA should not fuel the ego but rather serve as a reminder of the immense work remaining. He argues that protecting animals and the environment is not an act of charity or kindness but a fundamental duty and a matter of returning rights that have been unjustly taken away. He highlights the alarming rate of species extinction, noting that thousands of species vanish forever while humans remain indifferent to their existence.
