Nature can teach us countless lessons, including how to never give up on life. From trees that fell but still kept growing to a butterfly that re-learned how to fly after a wing transplant, nature is full of wholesome cases of resilience.
Bright Side picked some of the best examples of nature’s will to survive and compiled them here for you to enjoy.
1. “I made a wing for an injured butterfly.”
2. “The tree fell but grew back up.”
3. “Taken at my place 10 weeks ago after a fire vs this morning after a big weekend of rain”
4. “My satin pothos glow-up. She recovered from 2 separate rounds of root rot and is thriving now.”
5. “This tree still has its leaves because of the light shining on it.”
6. A tree that sees no obstacles
7. “She survived a skin infection without treatment and an accident. We rescued her and now she’s happy.”
8. “6 years in — Pakistan’s Billion Tree Tsunami project is making a difference!”

11. “Hurricane Irma eroded away the dune this pine tree was growing on, but it’s still standing.”
12. “I rescued a duck from a parking lot. Later found out she was injured by a dart. She healed and is thriving again.”
13. The Tree of Life at the Olympic National Park in Washington
