The chairman of the Ornithological Society of
Kuwait, Abdel Rahman Al-Serhan, has issued a statement saying that the
non-human-inhabited regions of Kuwait are being destroyed by
deforestation and livestock.
He warned that if people continue to
exploit the unregulated lands with animal grazing, the diverse wildlife
and plants of Kuwait will suffer more and face extinction.
Calling
for the media to help raise public awareness, the chairman stated that
laws should be implemented to protect habitats so that the flora and
fauna can be restored. Studies conducted by the United Nations Security
Council, Kuwait University and others have also highlighted livestock
grazing as one of the main causes of
Kuwait’s damaged lands and
depleted desert vegetation.Our sincere appreciation, Chairman Al-Serhan,
the Ornithological Society and all other organizations and scientists
for your concerned voice on behalf of the animals and plants that are in
danger.
May we heed such calls to action so that the natural
beauty of Kuwait and all lands still exist for future generations to
appreciate. Supreme Master Ching Hai has often cautioned of the
livestock industry’s costs to both humanity and the planet, as in an
October 2009 videoconference in Formosa (Taiwan).
Supreme Master Ching Hai: Right now,
one-third of the entire Earth’s land surface is used either for grazing
animals or growing feed for the animals, not for humans. We humans use
very little of this agriculture section. This is a devastating way to
make a cheap profit at the cost of our planet’s and our people’s
survival.
We are eating our planet by consuming meat.
So,
without the needless animal industry, not only will we gain forests, we
can also have organic vegan farmlands to grow real, decent food for
humans, and like the forests, these farmlands can also absorb a lot of
heat, a lot of heat from the atmosphere.
