Africa losing forests at alarming rate.
According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, indigenous forests in Africa are being felled at a rate of about 3.4 million hectares per year, the second highest in the world for this past decade.
These forests are key in helping absorb carbon emissions and thus reducing climate change and unstable weather conditions, while also serving as importing watersheds, wildlife habitats, and protection against soil erosion.

As an example of the losses being incurred, the country of Nigeria, which in 1976 was covered by 23 million hectares of forest, has been losing about 400,000 hectares annually and today has only 9.6 million left.

Reasons for deforestation include lands being cleared for livestock grazing and other agriculture as well as logging for timber and firewood. In an effort to offset these losses, initiatives have been launched by groups such as the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, which has been working to plant trees and raise awareness about the benefits of forest conservation.

One team has raised over 15,000 seedlings from 33 different species since February 2010 in Nigeria alone, scheduled for planting in 2011.

Our grateful thanks, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and all others striving to halt these alarming losses and revitalize the African forests. Let us rapidly join such efforts to help restore the balance of life across the continent of Africa and the world.

During a May 2009 videoconference in Togo, Supreme Master Ching Hai highlighted the significant environmental impacts of our actions, as she offered the most sustainable solution to protecting the precious trees and, in turn, our planet.

Supreme Master Ching Hai : We must protect the trees as much as we can. According to the environmental organization Greenpeace, 8% of the Earth's forest-related carbon is stored in the vast rainforests of the Congo River Basin in Central Africa.
Scientists predict that continued deforestation of the Congo will release the same amount of CO2 as the United Kingdom emitted over the last 60 years!

So, it is important to preserve the forest while we still can because it helps in addressing global warming. Deforestation is mostly caused by animal’s feed as forests are cleared to plant crops are for raising livestock, while hundreds of millions of people are starving in the world.

Vegan organic farming can go a long way toward  restoring the balance from problems that may have arisen in the past. I highly encourage you to pursue vegan organic farming methods.

Conservation efforts pay off for Mexican village.
With the region’s coral reef depleted and marine life on the verge of extinction, the people of Cabo Pulmo village in Baja California decided to give up their fishing careers and switched to eco-friendly tourism, offering deep sea diving adventures instead. They also petitioned the federal government to establish a marine protected area, which was accomplished in 1995.

With fishing now banned and the entire village population rallying for ocean conservation, sea life is once again flourishing, and Cabo Pulmo Marine Park is considered one of the most successful examples of marine conservation in Mexico.

Moreover, with the area being off the power grid, residents make use of solar power—a fitting energy source in a place where the sun is almost always shining.

We are touched by the loving efforts of the people of Cabo Pulmo to live in harmony with nature. May future generations continue to enjoy and share the wonders of the ocean to inspire many more toward similar care for our cherished marine co-inhabitants.
