#Waterboxx plant cocoon was first used in #Kazakhstan recently. For decades, the average annual temperature in Kazakhstan has been growing rapidly. Weather conditions in the country are becoming more extreme: more and more winds, droughts and dust storms. As a result, the Southern Balkhash region has suffered from large-scale forest fires and lack of water in the Ili River and Lake Balkhash. https://dknews.kz/.../238424-vosstanovlenie-lesa-v...
The next stage is the planting of 12,400 seedlings of turanga, sucker and willow. Specialists conduct a series of experiments with different technologies to increase the survival rate of seedlings in this arid climate. The #Waterboxx plant cocoon was used; storing 15 liters of water it's equipped with a system for collecting condensate and precipitation. The device will provide the seedling with the necessary amount of water for the development of the root system.

Polnische Umweltschützer: Das Fischsterben in der Oder ist ein Alarmsignal für ganz Europa | DW | 19.08.2022

Polens Regierung hält giftige Algen für eine mögliche Ursache des Fischsterbens in der Oder. Umweltschützer werfen der Regierung in Warschau schlechtes Flussmanagement vor und fordern einen Stopp des Flussausbaus.#Oder #Naturkatastrophe #Fischsterben #Algen #WWF #Flussregulierung

In diesem Winter kein Eisbär-Alarm | DW | 26.12.2021

Umweltschützer erwarten weniger Eisbären auf Futtersuche in der Nähe von Dörfern am Nordpolarmeer als in vergangenen Jahren. Die frühe Eisbildung auf dem Meer ermöglicht es den Tieren, ihre Jagdgebiete zu erreichen.#Nordpolarmeer #Eisbären #Klimawandel #WWF

#Kohle stoppen – #Klimaschutz jetzt!
Breites Bündnis ruft zu Doppel-Demonstration in #Köln und #Berlin am 1. Dezember auf

Berlin/Köln, 11. November 2018 | Unter dem Motto "Kohle stoppen – Klimaschutz jetzt!" werden am Samstag, 1. Dezember 2018, zeitgleich in Köln und in Berlin viele Tausend Menschen demonstrieren. Ein breites Bündnis aus zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen ruft drei Wochen vor der #Weltklimakonferenz in Polen #COP24 und kurz vor dem Abschlussbericht der #Kohlekommission zum Protest auf. "Wir müssen die Erderhitzung stoppen und den sozialverträglichen #Kohleausstieg schnell und kraftvoll beginnen", heißt es im Aufruf. "Die #Bundesregierung, die in der internationalen #Klimapolitik einmal Antreiberin war, droht endgültig zur Bremserin zu werden."

In Berlin versammeln sich DemonstrantInnen um 12 Uhr vor dem Kanzleramt, um gegen das Versagen der Bundesregierung im Klimaschutz zu protestieren. In Köln, vor den Toren des größten Braunkohlereviers Europas, startet die Demonstration an der Deutzer Werft und führt von dort zum Dom und zurück.

Nach dem Hitzesommer und #HambiBleibt geht es um den Wendepunkt im Klimaschutz. Zu den zentralen Forderungen der Demonstration gehören daher die Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaabkommens, eine faire Unterstützung für die am stärksten von der #Klimakrise betroffenen Länder und ein gesetzlicher Fahrplan für einen schnellen Kohleausstieg, mit dem das Abkommen und die nationalen Klimaziele eingehalten werden. Dazu verlangen die Organisatoren die schnelle Abschaltung der Hälfte der Kohlekraftwerks-Kapazitäten in Deutschland, den sofortigen Stopp aller Pläne für neue Kohlekraftwerke und Tagebaue sowie die zielgerichtete Unterstützung der Beschäftigten in den betroffenen Kohle-Regionen.

Zum Trägerkreis gehören neben den größten Umweltorganisationen #BUND, #WWF, #NABU, #NaturFreunde Deutschlands mit ihren Jugendorganisationen, die #KlimaAllianzDeutschland, #Greenpeace, #Germanwatch, #BrotFürDieWelt, #Misereor und #Campact.

Treffpunkte:
1.12. 12 Uhr Köln, Deutzer Werft
1.12. 12 Uhr Berlin, Kanzleramt

Scientists for the Mekong - OPEN LETTER TO THE MEKONG RIVER COMMISSION

Telling off the **MRC** & the** Laotian top guns**:
"Every member of the MRC and of the National Mekong Committees of the Four Lower Mekong countries (Thailand, Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam) KNOWS that Hydropower:
Is NOT sustainable; is NOT a Clean & Green Energy technology; is a constant source of GHG emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O); is blocking fish migrations since Nov. 2012; is risking the Food Security of 60 Million poor; is leading to the extinction of hundreds of aquatic species including the Giant Cat Fish, Giant Ray, Irrawaddy Dolphins, and dozens of fish species vital to the diet of communities in the Mekong River; is significantly reducing Biodiversity; is blocking a high percentage of vital sediments and nutrients that ensure the productivity of the river; is changing the geo-morphology of the river; is further damaging the Tonle Sap lake & Wetlands – i.e. fisheries nursery areas; is reducing water quality and thereby affecting the health of millions of people who depend on it for survival, and affecting aquatic life; is ensuring the sinking of the Delta by lack of sediments that keep it afloat, which are being withheld by the sediments blocked by the upstream Dams; is ruining the productivity of the Delta both on land and in the aquatic ecosystem by lack of rich nutrients; is promoting an “Environmental Refugees Exodus“ with Farmers forced to leave the Delta because of sinking lands ruined by salinization; is impacting the economies of Vietnam and Cambodia by loss of fisheries & productive lands, among other issues.

Hydropower Dams in the Mekong basin are actually INCREASING POVERTY and Despair, instead of “improving the standard of living and decreasing poverty” as falsely advertised. It is displacing tens of thousands of people from poor communities from their homes, lands and cultural sites, while offering a dismal compensation, which does not support the people to cultivate food or to fish, forcing them into a “market-life style” promoted by the Chinese, but without appropriate training nor money for food! (Despite the empty promises by the Developers to provide training).

Biodiversity is deeply interlinked with Food Security & Nutrition, and they all depend on a Sustainable Ecosystem. Thereby the need to protect ecosystems that support high biodiversity such as the Mekong River! The idiocy of knowingly building Hydropower Dams, which are NOT sustainable developments, puts at RISK the Biodiversity, the Food Security, Nutrition & Health of 60 Million poor people in SE Asia!

As the F.A.O. (2017) clearly stipulates in its latest ‘Guidelines on Assessing Biodiverse Foods in dietary intake surveys’:

“Current foods systems are facing mounting challenges to provide growing populations with safe, diverse and nutritionally adequate foods because of resource constraints, environmental degradation as well as the continual narrowing of the food base and the loss of biodiversity. Biodiversity is intricately intertwined with food security and nutrition, for it is critical to the availability of nutrients needed to support health and well-being, as well as to the sustainability of the natural resource base upon which food systems rely. Nutrition is at the heart of the sustainable development agenda.” Read more...
