FRED HAGENEDER’S GATEWAY TO THE MEANING OF TREES IN CULTURE AND CONSCIOUSNESS
Forests are essential organs in the metabolism of planet Earth, maintaining the balance of the ecosphere, global climate, and regional weather patterns.
The world’s forests are active players in maintaining the equilibrium of world climate, not just passive victims succumbing to global heating.
Climate disruption is not the only reason for mass tree dying caused by ever new bugs and diseases. Landgrabbing and pollution have much to answer for.
Europe’s last extensive old-growth forests are vanishing fast, due to ‘semi-legal’ logging. For cheap wooden products in shops all over Europe (and the UK).
Subsidized mass clearance of trees and shrubs plus the spreading of maize monocultures, the worst crop for soil erosion, guarantee severe floods downstream.
In November 2012, Canada’s First Nations started a new incentive to raise their voices together. A new era of resourceful and peaceful protests has begun.
Worldwide long-term studies show that proportionally, the biggest and oldest trees of the world vanish more rapidly than the younger tree populations.
Biofuels destroy rainforest. It would take a palm oil plantation 840 years to soak up the carbon released by the destruction of forest trees and top soil.
A study by the Imperial College London undercuts the believe that destruction of rainforest leads to long-term improvement of local jobs and infrastructure.
Cocaine and heroine production have sacrificed millions of hectares of (forest) land, and demand is still growing. The jungle labs pollute additional land.
