Kogu allkirju VIHMAMETSADE SÄILITAMISE EEST!

[R.Crusoe]

Lühikokkuvõte:

Braziilias hääletatakse, et vähendada Amazonase metsi 50%ni põllumajanduslikel ja karjapidamise eesmärkidel. Puit müüakse suurfirmade poolt laastudena rahvusvahelisele turule. Amazonase metsad toodavad 20% Maa hapnikust, seal on 30% mageveest ja 60% vähivastaste ravimite jaoks kasutatavatest taimedest. Rohkem, kui 160 000 km2 on varem samadel eesmärkidel metsast puhastatud ja nüüd need kohad on hüljatud ning kõrbeks muutumas.

Hi All,
The Brazilian congress is now voting on a project
that will reduce the Amazon forest to 50% of its size. It will take 1 MINUTE to read this, but PLEASE put your names on the list and forward this on as instructed below.
First, some facts: The Amazon rainforest is
responsible for the generation of 20% of the oxygen that we on this earth breathe. 30% of the world's freshwater is contained within the Amazon basin. 60% of the
cancer-fighting drugs used today are derived from
plants that can only be found within the Amazon rainforest. The area to be deforested is 4 times the
size of Portugal and would be mainly used for agriculture and pastures for livestock. All the wood is to be sold to international markets in the form of wood chips, by large multinational companies. The truth is that the soil
in the Amazon forest is useless without the forest
itself. It is very acidic and the region is prone to
constant floods. At this time more than 160,000
square kilometres have been deforested for the same
purpose but have been abandoned and are in the process of becoming desert.
This means that this proposal is in the short-term interests of a few, and in the long-term interests of
none.
Please copy (cut & paste) the entire text into a new
e-mail, put your complete name on the list below, and send to everyone you know.
(DON'T JUST.FORWARD IT, AS IT WILL THEN END UP WITH ROWS AND ROWS of '>' which discourages people from sending it on.). If you are the 400th person to sign please send a copy to: fsaviolo@openlink.com.br
