Berlin, Germany Sep 8, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - The initiator of the Greening Deserts Species Rescue and Protection Program CES-RPP for international species protection and biodiversity calls on the European Union and the responsible Commission to finally support the emergency program for the rescue and recovery of species. It is about endangered species which could become extinct tomorrow and especially about the keystone species on which many other important species depend. Only a few days ago a German nature conservation association followed the call and also demands an emergency program - it would be good to coordinate in this important matter. Nature and environmental protection organizations such as BUND have been invited several times to the species rescue and protection program. Until today, unfortunately, there was no concrete feedback or response. The emergency program and projects for species rescue, biodiversity, and ecosystem restoration calls for international support.
Background on the important species conservation program and projects for species recovery and biodiversity
Greening Deserts founder has been calling for international institutions and organizations to support the CES-RPP emergency program for global species rescue, recovery, and protection since 2019. Countless departments, employees, and organizations of the European Union as well as the UN have been informed several times and invited by eMail, hundreds have confirmed the call and the info email. On the pages of Greening Deserts and the Trillion Trees Initiative, you can read a lot of information about the special species rescue program and the species protection projects, including side projects like Afforestation.org, GreenRingAfrica.com, Hemp-Paper.org, PalmPaper.org, RiceStrawPaper.com,... Rice straw paper can reduce greenhouse emissions and environmental pollution significantly, otherwise farmers burn it or it rots and forms methane. Hemp plants can improve biodiversity and soil – it's good for bees and other insects! These alternative papers can reduce deforestation and supporting reforestation with improved soils. You can read more about the improvement of soils with hemp on Greening Deserts project pages. Support a more sustainable paper, packaging, and green building industry!
Extra pages were registered for the global species rescue program, for the German-speaking area Artenrettung.com, for Europe SpeciesProtection.EU, and internationally SpeciesRescue.com! The sites were registered in 2020 and 2021. It is about the economic and scientific establishment of species rescue on a global scale. Some international species protection, climate protection, nature conservation, and environmental protection organizations have already registered their interest. We are looking forward to new partners in the future to jointly master one of the biggest tasks and challenges for the decade - the reduction of species extinction by mitigating the causes and by promoting global biodiversity - also in urban regions and cities! The Urban Greening Camp project started RooftopGreening.com and the Urban Greening Network for healthier and greener cities, many followed a good example. In August the founder published a world innovation for urban greening with energy storage raised beds, the project development is called Energy Storage
Tree.
Important facts, opinions, and statements
The following is important information on species conservation, climate protection, climate change, and environmental protection in the climate crisis. It is not primarily about the human-caused part of "climate change" and global warming. It is about the global human impact or influence on climate, environmental, natural, and weather systems. The excessive disturbance or destruction and pollution of the natural environmental systems and life forms!
Certain industries like agriculture, heavy industry, chemical, coal, concrete, steel, arms, and war industries which destroyed ecosystems and important parts of the environment and polluted the planet are also responsible for the extinction of species and the destruction of the biosphere. They caused not only an unstable atmosphere but also more toxins, greenhouse gases, and water vapor. They are partly responsible for certain harmful climate changes and mass extinction. Many scientists try to partially deny or excuse this, but it is what it is.., but it is how it is. By the way, facts, real truth, or reality will be written by us all humans together. This means the whole of humanity, opinions, and collective wisdom represent the real reality not just a single opinion or study. Humans should be aware and care more about these true facts, logical arguments, and real truth! The fact that we are living in a hot age and a time of many climate and weather extremes, means that humanity and all life forms should make the best of it and better adapt. The best way is to promote adaptation, education, resilience, and understanding of the circumstances. It is reasonable to live and work with nature, not against it!
Many conservationists, climate, nature, and environmental activists want to protect species, some even the really important and endangered species. This is commendable and there could be many more of these activists. But it is much more important to save the really critically endangered species and to protect them at the same time! Today, still almost nobody understands how important the species rescue and how unimportant the species protection of unimportant species is - at least in comparison and in relation to the rapid species extinction of really threatened or critically endangered species. Each gardener is a protector of species. What is the use for the biosphere, nature, and mankind to save the few species we hear about every day? On the other hand, countless much more important species are dying out every day, including many keystone species on which many other species depend. Unfortunately, there is also a lack of awareness and understanding of the biosphere in relation to the biomass and diversity of species. Just look, organic
soils, grasslands, wetlands, and global forests that regulate even the climate and weather systems are the main part of the biosphere!
If mankind prevents species extinction by preserving healthy ecosystems and restoring important habitats and landscapes, or if natural regeneration processes are more supported, the atmosphere and biosphere could recover, regenerate naturally and regulate themselves. The connection between species recovery, species protection, climate protection, environmental protection and biodiversity, biosphere, and ecosystem services is often not seen clearly. Until today, many people do not understand that climate protection is also species protection and thus contributes significantly to the preservation of the biosphere. One of the best ways to protect and save species is to preserve the important habitats of these species and to do ecosystem restoration with greening, reforestation species protection camps on a global level. Greening Deserts founder and initiator explained these important issues in several articles and offered innovative solutions with many global initiatives or
international projects.
Another thing is the missing issue or topic of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) on so many levels. One example is the case of flood prevention by nature-based solutions. It's logic that after such drought years, dry and water repellent soils make erosions and floods more extreme. Another problem is the missing trees and wetlands were destroyed. The problem in Germany is and was the missing disaster risk reduction and disaster management in case of extreme weather events like droughts and floods, DRR should be a worldwide established system. Even urban flood prevention by extra watersheds, waterways, and underground reservoirs can help to reduce these risks. Another problem is the lack of trees and wetlands that have been destroyed - especially by extreme drainage for agriculture and open-pit mines. Many important ecosystems such as wetlands have been destroyed as a result, including floodplains, bogs, fens, and wet forests. Facts and scientific advice on flood protection and prevention with disaster risk reduction, nature-based solutions, and sustainable water management you can find on the Greening Deserts project pages.
If humanity understands all these relations there will be maybe a chance of getting back a certain balance, harmony, or peace -- to live peacefully with nature and each other. I call it the harmonic coexistence, if you lived my life during the last ten years you would understand what I mean. To all the worldwide scientific colleagues, it is no alarmism, it is pure reality and truth, it is serious advice, concerns, and of course personal opinions on what's going on. You can experience and research yourself for many years or decades.
Many people of the climate movement, governments, and even parts of the industry followed and got inspired by Greening Deserts' articles and projects – especially the masterworks or plans. Read for example the masterwork for a faster and more efficient coal exit in coal regions, it was published years before there was a Coal Commission in Germany! Published many good papers and solutions for the biodiversity and climate crisis, the green building, and energy transition during the years, long before there was the actual climate movement or Fridays for Future. Even the green ring logo was designed for the Green Ring Movement and Trillion Trees Initiative before FFF started. Just to mention the history and origins of some ideas and works. In the end, we at Greening Deserts are happy that so many people got inspired and followed the good examples. Desert greening with desert bamboo and thistles loosens and improves the soil. Green manure plants such as special field beans and hemp can quickly build up humus-rich topsoils. This even works in drylands and wastelands! Read more about the article 'Hemp toilet paper can reduce deforestation, climate change, and global warming and 'Hemp cultivation in open-cast mines for sustainable soil improvement and organic farming with hemp'.
Climate protection, nature conservation, and environmental protection are also species protection.
Greening Camps can reduce deforestation, land degradation, desertification, and global warming through global greening, conservation as well as biodiversity enhancement, ecosystem restoration, and ecological reforestation!
Humanity doesn't need to travel to desert planet Mars if the desertification continues at the actual rate we will have a desert planet Earth in 100 years!
Urban Greening is also Urban Cooling, thus is Global Greening Global Cooling.
We need more environmental awareness and sustainability, sustainable living, and sustainable working, in all fields or areas. We need to create a world of understanding, acceptance, respect, tolerance, compassion, and consciousness.
