WHO WE ARE
We are the advocates of environmental conservation. We want to preserve our nature, and bring direction not just for the current generation but also for the future generation for them to have a world where green environment is free.
WHAT WE DO
Promote Reforestation and Afforestation and Discourage Deforestation.
It is a serious environmental concern since it can result in the loss of biodiversity, damage to natural habitats, disturbances in the water cycle, and soil erosion.
What are the harmful effects
of deforestation?
-
Climate change
-
Desertification
-
Soil erosion
-
Fewer crops
-
Flooding
-
Increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
-
A host of problems for Indigenous people.
WHY
SHOULD
WE
STOP DEFORESTATION?
Republic Act No. 3701. AN ACT TO DISCOURAGE DESTRUCTION OF FORESTS, FURTHER AMENDING FOR THE PURPOSE SECTION TWENTY-SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE OF THE REVISED ADMINISTRATIVE CODE states that, if the offense is committed within a forest reserve, a fine of eight times the regular government charges on the timber or other forest products so unlawfully destroyed, and in addition thereto, imprisonment for not less than six months nor more than one year and six months; If the offense is committed in any of the public forests, other than those mentioned under subsections (a) and (b) hereof, a fine equivalent to four times the regular government charges upon the timber or other forest products so unlawfully destroyed, and in addition thereto, imprisonment for not less than three months nor more than six months.
Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide. If forests are cleared, or even disturbed, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Forest loss and damage is the cause of around 10% of global warming. There's simply no way we can fight the climate crisis if we don't stop deforestation.
Ways to Re-establish a Healthy Forest Structure
Reforestation
Is the natural or intentional restocking of existing forests and woodlands that have been depleted, usually through deforestation, but also after clear cutting.
How Reforestation Helps the Environment
Reforestation helps the environment by guaranteeing, or accelerating the re-establishment of healthy forest structure by regrowing the forest canopy and preserving biodiversity within the ecosystem.
Some of the Benefits of Reforestation
Afforestation
the establishment of a forest or stand of trees in an area where there was no previous tree cover.
How Afforestation Helps the Environment
help to improve soil health and quality, reverse land degradation, halt land desertification, and provide clean water through an intensified water cycle.
