The World Organization for the Conservation of Nature publishes a list of successes, the first of which is the entry into force of the Kyoto Convention, the Convention for the Prevention of Pollution and Greenhouse Gas Emissions, outside of the US, most of the large industrialized countries have signed the convention, are committed to it and work according to guidelines to prevent or at least reduce pollution
After all the articles where the leading line is "you saw blackness" here is some positive news for a different name.
Let's start with us, a lot has been written and said about the bad condition of the Dead Sea in Gaza, its name is the Sea of Death, while in tourist publications it has been claimed for many years that "the Sea of Death has become the Sea of Life" because of the many environmental and economic benefits, in recent years it has been said that "the Sea of Death brought A Dying Life", these days a project is coming to life to inject new life into the dying sea, Israeli-Jordanian cooperation with interim financing from the World Bank, enables a study of the feasibility and feasibility of transporting water from the Gulf of Eilat, in Eilat - Aqaba, a wide canal will be dug that will allow the establishment of a port and the removal of ships from the area endangering the reefs The Corals, a common port-canal that will increase the cooperation between the neighbors, later a pipe will be laid in which the water will be pumped to the north of the Arava, and will fall in a waterfall that will enable the production of electricity, the electricity will be used to desalinate water for the use of the neighbors, the water that will reach the Dead Sea will raise its level and return life to the dying sea, of course There will be opponents of the project, led by the polluters who are causing the death of the sea, the Dead Sea Factories. It can be assumed that the Greens will set restrictions to prevent further damage to the environment, but the important project has been launched and it is hoped that within a few years we will see results.
WWF, the World Organization for the Conservation of Nature, publishes a list of successes, the first of which is the entry into force of the Kyoto Convention, the Convention for the Prevention of Pollution and Greenhouse Gas Emissions, outside of the US, most of the large industrialized countries have signed the convention, are committed to it and act according to guidelines to prevent or at least to reduce pollution.
There is also the commitment and there are signs of activity by the Congo Basin countries to prevent deforestation and to preserve large areas around the evergreen forests, areas that will form a buffer between the agricultural population and the protected forest. Another success is the restriction on trawl fishing. The method is to drag a net on the bottom of the sea, the net sweeps and collects everything. When such raking-drag-collecting breaks, tramples and sabotages everything on the bottom, of course, when the net is brought to the ship, most of its contents are thrown back into the sea, and the damage is enormous. After many years, the organization managed to bring about a regulation limiting the use of a predatory method and it is hoped that the countries and their fishermen will obey the regulation.
In Haaretz, Zafarir writes about the problem of large mammals that need large habitats and not small reserves, for many years there has been a huge reserve on the border of the USA and Canada, although the reserve is in rural settlements and has wide roads, but the very establishment of a "cross-border reserve" gave the necessary impetus to the establishment of such reserves In the whole world: in South America there are reserves shared with the countries in the Amazon basin. In southern and eastern Africa, huge areas are allocated for nature conservation through cooperation between countries and we have already mentioned the Congo basin, so the large mammals have a chance.
UNEP, the United Nations Organization for Environmental Planning has revealed plans to restore the Euphrates and Tigris wetlands. Elsewhere I referred to the enormous damage that Saddam-Hussein caused to the area and its residents by diverting the water to canals that bypassed the swamps. Now they have begun to provide the residents of the area who have returned with health services, drinking water and a basis for renewing life in the area, at the same time directing water to flow into the disturbed swamps and trying to bring life back to the reed areas. The papyrus, the end and the semar that were a hiding place for waterfowl, a water filtration system, a source of livelihood for the residents, and of course for fish
And again it is to be hoped that within a few years at least a part of that lost paradise will return to its former glory on a much larger scale.
It turns out that in the current case the sky above us "knows" how to clean itself of the poisons that man emits. For some time now, scientists have referred to the molecules made of oxygen + hydrogen OH as "the detergent of the atmosphere" because of the ability of this molecule to break down many of the polluting factors in the air.
The atmosphere has three methods of cleaning itself by rain washing away the pollutants and returning them to the ground
By the sun that shines and heat breaks down pollutants and by the active molecule OH. A molecule whose existence was known but had not yet been observed because it is active, that is, as soon as it is formed, the molecule immediately connects to other substances and is therefore difficult to detect. The researchers who were able to see it with the help of a violet "flashlight" found out that this molecule is formed in the atmosphere in large quantities and breaks down about twenty percent of the pollutants that cause smog, and now it is necessary to see How to increase the amount of molecules in the air will of course not free us from the restrictions intended to prevent pollution but will help in reducing pollution.
Is there more ice in Antarctica?? After all, we hear about warming and melting glaciers, it turns out that because of the warming there is more precipitation in the northern continent, maybe we should go ahead and explain that Antarctica is a desert. Rather, she was a desert until the last few years
A desert from a climatic point of view is an area where the precipitation is less than or equal to the amount of liquid that the area processes by evaporation. Today it turns out that because of the warming there is more water available in the system
Therefore, more precipitation - snow + rain, the rain freezes, the snow and rain join the glaciers and thicken the ice layer on the continent. . So that additional length was given to the inhabitants of the islands and low areas
And again with us
The partial flooding of the Hula, the success in creating the Great Rivers Reserve in the south, a reserve that holds an area similar in size to the Upper Galilee; Increase in wild animal populations: deer, goats, wolves, jackals, and foxes. recently announced Nitzanim reserve; The return to nature of: wild animals, rams, and recently ostriches, all of these are definitely successes, we and the world have had successes, therefore we must not be silent about the yeasts and we must continue to fight for a sustainable natural environment.
