FRED HAGENEDER’S GATEWAY TO THE MEANING OF TREES IN CULTURE AND CONSCIOUSNESS
Forests are essential organs in the metabolism of planet Earth, maintaining the balance of the ecosphere, global climate, and regional weather patterns.
The world’s forests are active players in maintaining the equilibrium of world climate, not just passive victims succumbing to global heating.
“Pests” and “pathogens” are nature’s health police, not the causes of mass tree dying. These lie somewhere else entirely.
Pope Francis is calling for radical transformation of politics, economics, and individual mindsets and lifestyles to truly begin caring for the Earth.
The uniquely beautiful Virunga National Park famous for it mountain gorillas and its continuing struggle with poaching, civil war, and multinational Big Oil.
Subsidized mass clearance of trees and shrubs plus the spreading of maize monocultures, the worst crop for soil erosion, guarantee severe floods downstream.
The positive influence forests have on ocean ecology and biodiversity was put to good use by a Japanese oyster farmer who received a UN Forest Heroes Award.
Clayoquot Sound continues to be at the forefront of old-growth forest conservation on Vancouver Island, merging First Nations’ values into national law.
Four beaver families have been transferred from Norway to Argyll. The scientific trial respects the beaver as an important key species in landscape ecology.
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.
