Peals of Wisdom is a representation of soil erosion which means physical, chemical and biological decline in soil quality. Soil is the earth’s fragile skin that anchors all life on Earth. Due to increased demand of agricultural commodities, we convert forests and grasslands to farm. This transition has led to soil erosion and nutrient degradation. It has also led to increased pollution and sedimentation in streams and rivers, clogging these waterways and causing declines in fish and other species.
