FRED HAGENEDER’S GATEWAY TO THE MEANING OF TREES IN CULTURE AND CONSCIOUSNESS
Four beaver families have been transferred from Norway to Argyll. The scientific trial respects the beaver as an important key species in landscape ecology.
Cocaine and heroine production have sacrificed millions of hectares of (forest) land, and demand is still growing. The jungle labs pollute additional land.
The small stands of Cedar of Lebanon which man-made deforestation has left of once proud forests in their home country are now threatened by global heating.
New discoveries show that tree vapours cool the planet, and that protecting old-growth forests would be one of the best ways to counteract global heating.
Global deforestation costs far more than the current banking crisis (2008). Yet another sobering calculation exposing the lack of political will.
An old yew tree of major literary and spiritual importance was axed by Swindon Borough Council when no-one was around to stop the destruction.
An international project started in 2005 to raise awareness for the Russian Taiga, including community-based harvesting of sustainable forest products.
In 2006, the UK was the second highest importer of illegal timber – after Finland which acts as Europe’s hub for illegal timber coming via China and Russia.
Forest time reduces the level of stress chemicals in the body, boosts the immune system and hence helps to ward off viruses, bacteria and even tumours.
Beneath a spruce tree in Sweden scientists found ancient spruce remains (cones and wood) of the same genetic make-up, pointing to a vast age for this tree.
