FRED HAGENEDER’S GATEWAY TO THE MEANING OF TREES IN CULTURE AND CONSCIOUSNESS
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.
Not only the climate of South America depends on the ‘water management’ of the Amazon rainforest but the global climate of the entire northern hemisphere.
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.
Cocaine and heroine production have sacrificed millions of hectares of (forest) land, and demand is still growing. The jungle labs pollute additional land.
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.
After prayers of the U’wa tribe in Colombia an entire oil field disappeared and 100 million US dollars of excavation spendings could not bring it back.
For the U’wa, an indigenous people in northeastern Colombia, oil is the blood of the Earth, and to extract it is equivalent to committing matricide.
Destruction of tropical rainforest is often followed by the outbreak of new diseases. An unknown virus was discovered in the blood of the workmen…
