Brazilian flora more imperilled than ever. A study conducted by 175 scientists across 752 areas of the country that contain what is considered crucial biodiversity found that nearly 2,300 plant species are in danger of extinction. This is a dramatic rise from the Brazilian government’s 2008 estimates of only 472.
The most recently identified plants also do not include rare species, which are automatically understood to be at risk. International scientists, our sincere appreciation for calling our attention to the perilous state of Brazil’s flora. Let us all quickly heed these urgent signs and adopt sustainable, life-promoting lifestyles.
Ever-concerned for the well-being of humanity and the Earth, Supreme Master Ching Hai addressed some of the dangers of climatic change during a March 2009 videoconference in South Korea, offering the quickest solution to preserve the planet and her biodiversity.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: Now, we all can see that nature is changing because of global warming, and the animals are directly affected as well. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has a list called the Red List that shows the species actually disappearing from the planet. At the end of 2008, the IUCN was monitoring a total of 45,000 species and said that 40% were threatened with extinction.
It is difficult even to imagine this kind of loss.
If we eliminate meat from our diets, we automatically and very quickly reduce global warming by a tremendous amount, if not most of it. If everyone becomes vegan, stops livestock raising, our Earth, the humans, the animals, the environment will definitely be saved.
