But unlike previous rare encounters filled with playful gestures, this time its eyes were filled with urgency\u2014as if calling for help. It swam a short distance ahead, then turned back repeatedly, as if beckoning them to follow. Trusting his instincts honed over a lifetime at sea, Enzo sensed something was wrong. He and his daughters swam after it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"1170\">At a depth of about 15 meters, they found a female dolphin entangled in an abandoned fishing net. She was struggling, seemingly exhausted from trying in vain to surface for air. Enzo and his daughters carefully cut away the last of the net. As soon as she was freed, the dolphin swam straight to the surface\u2014and right there, she gave birth.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1314\">Enzo later recalled that miraculous moment: the male dolphin\u2014the mother\u2019s companion\u2014gently approached him and touched him, as if in gratitude.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1314\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4632\" src=\"https:\/\/dinhhongky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/z6791124346867_4c9083b2725af9b0e425c56591a9781d-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinhhongky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/z6791124346867_4c9083b2725af9b0e425c56591a9781d-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/dinhhongky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/z6791124346867_4c9083b2725af9b0e425c56591a9781d-1-403x500.jpg 403w, https:\/\/dinhhongky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/z6791124346867_4c9083b2725af9b0e425c56591a9781d-1-242x300.jpg 242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>Enzo Maiorca and his daughter Rossana \u2013 ocean love across generations<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1316\" data-end=\"1498\">He later told the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society:<br data-start=\"1368\" data-end=\"1371\" \/><em data-start=\"1371\" data-end=\"1498\">&#8220;As long as humans do not learn to respect and listen to nature, they will never truly understand their place on this Earth.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1500\" data-end=\"1714\">It was not merely a miracle between a human and dolphins. It was a gentle but profound reminder: all forms of life are capable of feeling, of suffering, and of gratitude\u2014if only we take the time to stop and listen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1716\" data-end=\"1845\">We are living in an era where nature is no longer whispering\u2014it is crying out. Yet humanity seems increasingly deaf to its voice.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1847\" data-end=\"2139\">Coral reefs are bleaching. Primeval forests are being razed to make way for cities, industrial zones, and seaside resorts. Many projects not only encroach upon rivers and seas but also dig canals, alter natural flows, and disrupt ecosystems that have existed in harmony for hundreds of years.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2141\" data-end=\"2364\">When a river is filled in, it is spoken of as \u201cdevelopment.\u201d When a mountain is flattened, it is called \u201cbuilding the future.\u201d Nature says nothing\u2014until the floods come, the ground cracks, saltwater intrudes, or crops fail.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2366\" data-end=\"2578\">Rivers slow. Underground flows shift. Ecosystems distort. Species that once coexisted in harmony\u2014fish, shrimp, birds, storks, and local communities\u2014are now disappearing, displaced, or struggling to adapt in vain.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2580\" data-end=\"2936\">We are not lacking in warnings. Climate change is no longer a future issue\u2014it is a present reality. And yet paradoxically, the closer we get to disaster, the deeper we push into nature. We build dikes against floods. Drill wells in drought. Construct filtration plants in polluted areas. But rarely do we stop to ask: are we living in conflict with nature?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2938\" data-end=\"3242\">For a long time, humans believed themselves the center of the universe\u2014capable of building towering cities, creating advanced technologies, even launching spacecraft into the cosmos. But this belief in human supremacy has increasingly alienated us from the ecosystem of which we are fundamentally a part.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3244\" data-end=\"3510\">Humans have only existed for a few hundred thousand years, while Earth has been here for billions. Dolphins, sea turtles, and ancient trees have witnessed many cycles of planetary change\u2014and they have survived\u2014because they know how to live in balance. Humans do not.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3512\" data-end=\"3768\">It is no coincidence that warnings of ecological collapse are now echoing across global political and economic forums. Climate change is no longer solely a matter for scientists\u2014it is a survival issue for every nation, every business, and every individual.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3770\" data-end=\"4076\">That is why ESG\u2014environment, social, and governance\u2014must not remain just a reporting framework. It needs to become a way of life\u2014a model for ethical and responsible economic action. No one can do it alone, but every entity\u2014from governments to businesses\u2014can begin by listening again to the voice of nature.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4078\" data-end=\"4292\">A river does not choose to be dammed. A forest does not ask to become a construction site. Development decisions made without consultation with nature will inevitably become decisions against humanity\u2019s own future.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4294\" data-end=\"4528\">The story of Enzo Maiorca and the dolphin family may be just a small anecdote amid a sea of scientific data. But it touches something data cannot measure: emotion, connection, and gratitude among all living beings sharing this planet.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4530\" data-end=\"4757\">We may not dive like Enzo. We may not understand the language of dolphins, hear the breath of forests, or sense the choking of the soil. But we can begin with the silence needed\u2014to listen not with our ears, but with our hearts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4759\" data-end=\"4837\">And only then can we truly understand where we stand in this vast web of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By \u0110inh H\u1ed3ng K\u1ef3, published in the \u201cPerspective\u201d section of VnExpress on May 31, 2025. &nbsp; One summer day in the late 1970s, off the coast of Syracuse, Italy, legendary free diver Enzo Maiorca was exploring the depths of the ocean with his daughters, Rossana and Patrizia.
