Mythical facts narrated in Indian epic Srimad Bhagawata and Bible convey a co-ordinated message, that at some time the earth faced dissolution with heavy rain and flood, and men was alerted by the divinity (nature) to protect the biosphere as a prime moral obligation. The myth(s) opens a vista to realise that, it should be ever a human responsibility to take care of the biodiversity, ancient days or modern time, east or west. Human commitment in this regard is above any religion; but later the facts have pervaded into religious scriptures. In modern science, religion is poorly realised of any significance for protection of environment; but a time has arrived to lay emphasis on this later issue with deep introspection
