FRED HAGENEDER’S GATEWAY TO THE MEANING OF TREES IN CULTURE AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The uniquely beautiful Virunga National Park famous for it mountain gorillas and its continuing struggle with poaching, civil war, and multinational Big Oil.
The positive influence forests have on ocean ecology and biodiversity was put to good use by a Japanese oyster farmer who received a UN Forest Heroes Award.
Wangari Maathai, founder of the Green Belt Movement, which so far has planted 51 million trees and trained over 30,000 women, died on 25 September 2011.
The historic ‘Call of Creation’ by St Francis of Assisi inspires Catholics today to acknowledge humanity’s role as stewards of nature, not its masters.
The monks of the Samraong Pagoda received the 2010 Equator Prize for saving evergreen forest in northwest Cambodia by ordaining venerable trees as monks.
The Great Green Wall aims to halt the spread of the South Sahara. At 9 miles wide and 4,800 miles long it equals the reforestation of 37 million acres.
The work on the Green Wall of China began in 1978. So far, forests have been planted in thirteen provinces of China, covering 54 million acres (22m ha).
An international project started in 2005 to raise awareness for the Russian Taiga, including community-based harvesting of sustainable forest products.
Global deforestation continues at an alarming rate. Reforestation with farmed seedlings does not make up for the rich eco systems of old-growth forests.
