FRED HAGENEDER’S GATEWAY TO THE MEANING OF TREES IN CULTURE AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The uniquely beautiful Virunga National Park famous for it mountain gorillas and its continuing struggle with poaching, civil war, and multinational Big Oil.
Europe’s last extensive old-growth forests are vanishing fast, due to ‘semi-legal’ logging. For cheap wooden products in shops all over Europe (and the UK).
For the indigenous Guarani tribe, land is the origin of all life. But they and their land suffer violent and murderous invasions by the biofuel industry.
Worldwide long-term studies show that proportionally, the biggest and oldest trees of the world vanish more rapidly than the younger tree populations.
The Indian Dongria Kondh tribe has won a ‘David and Goliath’ battle to save their land and sacred mountains from a multinational bauxite/aluminium company.
Biofuels destroy rainforest. It would take a palm oil plantation 840 years to soak up the carbon released by the destruction of forest trees and top soil.
A study by the Imperial College London undercuts the believe that destruction of rainforest leads to long-term improvement of local jobs and infrastructure.
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.
Global deforestation costs far more than the current banking crisis (2008). Yet another sobering calculation exposing the lack of political will.
