资助守林人

资助守林人

诚挚邀请您加入有史以来自然资源保护最高效的运动之一:

  1. 协助抵抗气候变化。

  2. 延缓地球历史上最大的物种灭绝进程,拯救百万物种。

  3. 帮助农村地区保护自然。

  4. 作为成员资助正在国家公园和自然保护区社会责任的义务工作者。

  5. 为你最喜爱的国家公园,自己的守林人募集资金。

  6. 加入前所未有的环境保护运动,资助守林人。

  7. 您将为您的时间和贡献获得奖励。

  8. 与守林人在线交谈。

据联和国报告气候变化导致全球变暖,海平面上涨等一系列严重的天气事件。对大自然将是毀灭性的灾难,许多植物和动物物种将不可避免的永久消失。

联和国明确指出人类活动导致了气候变化。人类要爲百万物种的灭绝负连带责任。虽然还沒有科学得预测出到底有多少物种会由于气候变化而灭绝,但是却很清楚那将是很大的比例。

以下例子很有说服力:

  1. 热带雨林,地球上物种蕴藏最丰富的地区,预期会由于气温升高而更加干燥。几百万生物物种根本无法在更干燥的环境里生存而永久灭绝。

  2. 海平面上升,海滩湿地会淹没在水面下,。几百万生存在此的生物物种会失去大面积的栖居地。

  3. 海洋温度的改变,珊瑚礁暴露在过高的温度下会永久灭绝。

 

世界环保研究院已经计算出,占地球面积百分之十到二十的陆地,理论上能夠保护百分之七十的生物物种。

 然 而,近一半自然保护区并沒有工作人员,没有护林员,这些地区将被侵占,森林被砍伐。植被会转变为农田。保守估计,在接下來的二十年里,发展中国家,一半的 自然保护区会由于缺少守林员的保护而转变为农田。一半的生物物种将会灭绝,这是在沒有气候改变的情况下。保守估计,另外百分之十到二十的生物物种由于气候 的变化而灭绝。如果气候变化和土地转变同时进行,那么,在二十一世纪,由于人类的活动,百分之六十到七十的物种将会消失。这将是地球历史上最大的物种灭绝 活动。但是通过高效和及时的保护措施,也许只看到百分之四十到五十的物种灭绝。  

根 据联合国数据显示,在发展中国家,近十亿公顷,相当于巴西和秘鲁两个国家的总和的自然保护区。如果缺少了守林员,五亿公顷的森林会消失,那是我们同期最多 可能种植的森林面积的一百倍。京都议定书倡导下为抵抗气候变化所进行的一系列措施中,种植每公顷和自然保护区同等规模的新森林需要10005000 美 元。新种植的森林需要守林员的保护,同时在第一个十年需要特有的护理。相比较自然保护区,新森林的规模更小,然而每公顷却昂贵一百倍。所以保护好现有的森 林资源,也许比种植新的森林便宜几百倍。同时在防止产生二氧化碳,和减少空气中二氧化碳的含量的方面,起到更有效的作用。自然保护区帮助缓冲人类對地球生 命的冲击。而新森林在生物物种保护方面几乎无所作为。如果您真心想为抵抗气候变化做些什么,那么资助一名守林员无疑是最有效的方法之一。可以防止几亿公顷 的森林被燃烧而变成二氧化碳。同时也帮助拯救那些生存在森林里的几百万生物物种免于灭绝。  

全世界应该再次关注自然资源援助项目。再次关注如何制定更有效的战略,降低各种引起气候变化的因素纠结,我们不可能阻止气候变化,但是我们可以停止继续侵占自然保护区的土地资源。事实上,并不麻烦,切实可行,同时可带来巨大的社会效益。  

世界环保研究院已经计算出世界范围內共需要138000名守林员,在发展中国家,目前为止还沒有可以证明有多少守林员受雇用的具体数据,可能不会超过实际需求的三分之一,这意味着还有92000名守林员的空缺。资助守林员,为挽救地球上最危机的,被荒费的国家公园和自然保护区募集资金。同时也和国际援助组织合作,在如何更高效的保护自然资源,为地球上的生命做出应有的贡献提供建议。
