Question

I love forests, grasslands and other biomes. How do I help to save them if I can't be involved actively?

Answer 1

Be a consumer of products that help save them.

Answer 2

Stay informed and up to date on all the latest information relevant to their degradation and current efforts to help them.  Be an informer yourself, if someone has questions tell them what you know but be willing to listen if they have their own perspectives.  Otherwise there are activities that you could literally do everyday that are not intense that can help preserve the world around you, like picking up litter on a hike or walk, recycling, or even just turning off the faucet while you're brushing your teeth.  The more you understand the impacts the more you can work to help lessen them.

Answer 3

hi. First of all i wanted to say it is great that you want to find a way to help. I agree with the previous answer, picking up litter, recycling, and so forth. Also, certain stores and websites donate the profits they make to fund projects such as rainforest conservation.

Answer 4

dont buy any animal products or exotic pets

but it wont make a difference

the Indians or local people would cut everything down and burn the forrest to replace it with harmfull short term farming, killing the soil in no time

population growth and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the increasing demand for food,are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's and Nature in general,

clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

that and the giant networks of roads that have exchanged forests for asphalt all over the planet

In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years

the Naturists ,and the government ,keep watch .laws are made for protection the wild and to forbid logging.

TV put out a series of documentaries

there are campaigns in the News papers

and all of this has not made the slightest difference animals disapear because loss of habitat

Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

the jungle gets smaller by the day

more and more farmers move in .and burn the trees

it is an impossible situation

as long as there is poverty and an increasing birth rate in these regions the destruction will continue

they are too easily tempted to sell of exotic animals to the unscroupelous people who buy them.for the market that exists in the USA.

we must look for ways to improve economic situations on the edges of Nature .

the only way to preserve the forrests is to devellop eco tourism under strict control that has limited acces ,and use the local people in the concept as guides ,hotel staff and get them to start home industries of artifacts .

eco tourism is the only concept that profits by a healthy back ground with out harming it

the big Markets for exotic pets is civilizations like the USA

and now with climate change and a`possible war for global supremacy by the USA,looming in the near future,we may be an endangered specie our selves

POSITIVE ACTIONS

if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to slowdown the destructive processes

reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

the protection of existing forrests.

stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

education on environmental awareness

education on family planning to curb over´populaion

Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour

alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine

recicling wastes,limit water use

these are Al gores sites
