International Year of Forests, 2011

Forests are vital to the survival and well being of people everywhere, all 7 billion of us. Deforestation, industrialization-cum-urbanization and increasing population is reducing the forests area which is resulting into degradation of biodiversity and climate change. In its resolution 61/193 of 20 December 2006, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 2011 as the International Year of Forests to raise awareness at all levels to strengthen the sustainable management, conservation and sustainable development of all types of forests for the benefit of current and future generations. The International Year of Forests 2011 offers a unique opportunity to raise public awareness of the challenges facing many of the world’s forests and the people who depend on them. The Ramsar Convention selected wetlands and forests as the theme for World Wetlands Day 2011 (WWD 2011) in recognition of the International Year of Forests. The International Year of Forests 2011 logo is designed to convey the theme of “Forests for People” celebrating the central role of people in the sustainable management, conservation and sustainable development of our world’s forests. The Official launch of the Year will take place at United Nations Headquarters during ninth session of the United Nations Forum on Forests (2- 3 February 2011). So, SAVE FORESTS, SAVE FUTURE.

Red Tape Movement

Today, we participated in RED TAPE MOVEMENT. This movement is the peaceful people participation awareness programme run by me with the help of local people and NGO's in Etawah. Through this, we give the message that to cut trees is lethal to our survival. Nobel Laureate and Leader of Green Belt Movement Madam Wangari Maathai said,"We have a responsibility to protect the rights of generations, of all species, that cannot speak for themselves today. The global challenge of climate change requires that we ask no less of our leaders, or ourselves.” So friends, you also participate in this mission at your home place and send your reply too. Thanks.

Save Forests

Forests and planktons give us the LIFE by providing OXYGEN, FOOD, FRUITS,
MEDICINES, SHELTER as well as BIODIVERSITY and sinking CARBON DI-OXIDE through PHOTOSYNTHESIS. We are now facing the lethal problem of CLIMATE CHANGE; only forests and planktons can save us from this problem coz photosynthesis occurs only in them. Launch grass-root-level awareness programmes, movements and missions to save trees and biodiversity; one such awareness programme has been launched by me and the name of this is RED TAPE MOVEMENT. Save trees for the safety of YOUR FUTURE.

NASA - First-of-its-Kind Map Depicts Global Forest Heights

Using NASA satellite data, scientists have produced a first-of-its kind map that details the height of the world’s forests. Although there are other local- and regional-scale forest canopy maps, the new map is the first that spans the entire globe based on one uniform method.

Human impact on Himalaya: a case study.

Recently i visited Haridwar, Rishikesh and Masoori [ Uttarakhand, India ] from 12th June to 15th June, 2010. I felt two major destructive impact of humans on hills; these are: 1. unmanageable urbanization, 2. deforestation; the other related problems due to tourism are: 1. air pollution, 2. water pollution, 3. noice pollution, and 4. polythene pollution. I get surprised to see the deforested hills and polythene pollution in Haridwar. There must be immediate ban on the use of polythene bags in the hilly regions and tourist places on the banks of rivers. Another important thing was existence of perennial herbs and woody shrubs as dominant flora; there was lesser presence of trees as dominant flora. So, this is our duty to save forests and biodiversity. Grass root level conservation programmes like RED TAPE MOVEMENT can make aware the society. Come and join hands to save forests and to save our future and our survival.

RED TAPE MOVEMENT

Red Tape Movement is an awareness movement to save the trees by tying red tape on the tree trunk and to give the message that to cut the tree is harmfull to the NATURE and BIODIVERSITY. This movement is the peoples participation movement at grass root level. This movement was started by me on 5th June, 2008, in Etawah district. Such peoples participation movements are the need of the hour to save our biodiversity and nature. This movement is a peaceful movement and is not against government policies. It is gaining the support of local peoples. One local N.G.O. named 'Swami Vivekanand Seva Sansthan' is co-operating in this movement. We choose a village on holiday and move to this and with the help of local villagers first we do plantation and then start tying trees trunks with red tape. Initially we faced some problems but now we are gaining the support of local persons.
