What we can do to protect our 'Lungs'?
20 % of the world's oxygen is produced in the Amazon rainforest.
Therefore, Amazon rainforest can be said as the 'lungs' of the planet. 3000 fruits are available in the rainforest but we are familiar with only 200 of them. For cattle raising, illegal timbering, agriculture.. The world's greatest reserve is in danger. Also we are blindly supporting the people who are destroying the earth great biological treasures, by promoting their products. Rain forests once covered 14% of the earths land surface, and now merely 6% and experts estimate that the remaining rainforests could consumed in less than 40 years. Every year 26,130 Square Kilometer of Amazon rain forest is being cleared away. That means six football fields size every minute. We are losing 137 plants and animal and insect species every single day which equals 50,000 species every year. We are moving out in a great phase of mechanical life style. Population growths, deforestation, paddy field filling, carbon emulsions, pollution, soil erosion, epidemics and no time to look into the environment…
Please share your comments on this.. Lets us dedicate some of our time for the generations to come..
