The world’s natural resources are balanced by the humans need for survival. Martel suggests this theory in his book “The life of Pi” because it can relate to how humans today go in a balance life relationship with the world’s natural resources. Although humans currently comprise only a minuscule proportion of the total living biomass on Earth‚ the human effect on nature is disproportionately large. Because of the extent of human influence‚ the boundaries between what humans regard as nature and
