I have to say, although our main problem is the forests being cut down and destroyed, we are really just killing ourselves. the more we go into the industrial stage of evolution, the worse the earth becomes, but unlike us, the earth can renew itself. In about a million years time,The earth will be as clean and fresh as it was a century ago, but unless we change our ways, humanity will be wiped out for good.

To draw attention to our coastal old growth temperate rainforests on BC’s South Coast, and in light of World Rainforest Week, we are holding a rally to ask the government to protect our endangered forests. The rally will be held in Victoria, BC, Canada on October 17, 2009 where we will march to the BC provincial legislature for noon and let the government know that we want old growth rainforests protected!

Why is the Cargill petition something I am supposed to print out on paper and send in an envelope? Not super eco for World Rainforest Week. Could we have an electronic one?

Without Ecology there is no Ecomony! Leave Mother Nature alone. Stop destroying her and instead respect and nurture her!

Since corporations and other agribusiness beneficiaries seem determined to undermine all of the progress and hard work that organizations like RAN do. I think it high time to consider drafting plans to assemble a world-wide environmental festival. Something that would include all people, regardless of socio-economic standing, political affiliation, etc. The main objective would be to show the world the devastation that clear-cutting and indiscriminate forest stewardship has caused. Educational seminars given by RAN and other environmental groups would shed light on the dire consequences, unless we act quickly. I realize this is a very, very ambitious goal to pull something like this off, but I think we need to seriously consider something of this magnitude. Leaving the fate of our forests in the hands of politico types woun’t get it done. Have a Good Day!

A palm oil plantation consist of essentially one species, while the rainforest it displaced has an unknown number of species, some which may be lost forever before they are ever discovered. The orangutan, being one of our closest relatives, is reason enough to save these forests. If we destroy them, we destroy ourselves. All support for clear-cutting rainforests should be switched to protecting the forests. That makes much more economic sense in the long run.

Please read those labels and don’t buy products containing palm oil! I’ve seen the damage being inflicted in Borneo, and locals think it’s okay because “every tree cut down is being replaced by another (palm oil) tree.”

In order to protect and preserve rainforests, along with countless endangered animals, plants & habitats worldwide, don’t we first need to have a discussion about human population growth, spread and impact? For all we may now set aside large tracts of land, in an increasingly populous future world, how can we be sure they will not be reclaimed by societies & enterprises driven by economic need and corporate survival. Given such pressures and conditions, it is virtually inevitable for human populations and organizations to devolve into a culture of cheating and bad ethics. Growing human populations can only accelerate the process through which natural habitats are poisoned and destroyed by ever greater, more invasive housing projects and corporate land use. In order to prevent this dismal & tragic outcome, it will be necessary to couple any conservation strategies with massive educational campaigns designed to demonstrate the toxic result of growing populations & economies. Since this concept and approach are SO VERY UNPOPULAR, we need to face up to our denial and make this concern as current and conspicuous as universal health care–that is if we give a damn about posterity!

We can all do our part to help slow the destruction by consuming less! Consume only what is absolutely necessary–no paper towels–use reusable cloth and be sure to launder in cold water using detergents that do not contain petroleum. You can make your own VERY easily for a penny a load! Purchase only FSC (Forest Stewardship Council)certified paper products. Recycling alone is not enough! Reduce first–Reuse second–then recycle what you must consume and cannot reuse!

Our world cannot afford any further loss of ANY of this precious and vulnerable habitat.The UK has it’s equivalent to the rainforest too – ancient woodland. Ancient woodland is an ecosystem that has lain undisturbed for centuries, it is land which has been continously wooded since at least the 1600s and can go right back to the original Wild Wood of the Ice Age! A uniquely precious habitat, it needs our protection too but is badly fragmented around the country. Unbelievably, the UK is the least wooded country in Europe, and less than 2% of our woodland is ancient woodland today because of development threats – from airports to powerlines roads to housing estates. It even has policy relating to keeping it safe but this is nearly always beaten by developers who argue an ‘economic need’ which is winning over the environment, and it is being destroyed just like the Amazon. Remember the UK’s ‘rainforests’ too…

We need to take care of the rainforest, not just for ourselves, but for all living creatures that live on it. Stop destroying it.
