Replanting a Rainforest - Mata Atlântica in Brazil
The world needs trees, lots of trees. They are not only beautiful to look at, they provide habitats for animals and help make up the critical biodiversity to maintain human life on earth. It's about survival of the human species, so we plant trees. But that's not enough, humanity has been destroying these critical areas of biological diversity during the past hundred years at a rate unsurpassed in the history of mankind. Planting trees alone is not enough, We need to re-define leadership. If we don't, we'll never catch up by planting enough trees, there will always be somebody cutting down more down than we can plant. So we encourage a dialogue between individuals, businessmen and women, privately and professionally, and to sit among trees. In Brazil we are beginning our project thanks to a generous donation by WeForest.com; In November 2009 the first saplings were planted on the first 3 hectares, part of the 300 hectares made available by our partnering farm, Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza, thats 3 square kilometers with space for over 1,000,000 (one million) trees, with at least 80 different regionally native species per hectare (in addition to what the birds and other wildlife will be helping to seed). Join us here on WeForest.com, on www.replantingarainforest.org and www.openworldcafe.com for updates. |

WeForest en ESPAÑA
A nadie se le escapa que España no es ajena al cambio paisajístico de unos años para aquí, de su progresiva desertización. Seguramente todos hayamos oído alguna vez eso de que “hace años una ardilla cruzaba España de lado a lado sin tocar el suelo”, lo cual es bastante significativo de la gran masa forestal que había. Tampoco nadie es ajeno a las CONSECUENCIAS de esta progresiva pérdida de masa forestal, dado que los bosques cumplen importantes funciones en materia climática: • Inundaciones • Menos lluvias: agravamiento de las sequías, la erosión de suelos y la contaminación de los cursos de agua • Agravamiento del calentamiento global por reducción del almacenamiento de carbono. • Pérdida de flora y fauna. Lo más penoso es que la mano del hombre es la verdadera RESPONSABLE de la desertización: • Talas indiscriminadas • Incendios forestales • Sobrepastoreo y abandono de tierras agrarias • Desarrollo urbanístico • Presas hidroeléctricas Así que está en nuestra mano, también el buscar SOLUCIONES para que nuestros hijos, y los hijos de nuestros hijos, tengan un lugar donde vivir en plenitud. • Replantaciones de árboles autóctonos • Exigir que los productos fabricados con madera lleven el sello FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), o cualquier otro, para asegurarnos que las talas han sido realizadas siguiendo unos requisitos sociales y ambientales. • Sensibilizando a los gobiernos, sociedad en general, y futuras generaciones a que los árboles son imprescindibles para un equilibrio ecológico en nuestro planeta. |
