Potsdam is committed to protecting the endangered rainforests!

Potsdam, Deutschland - What are the secrets of the tropical rainforest, and why should we take care of it? In an exciting event in Potsdam, this is exactly the focus: the importance of the rainforests and the circular economy. This event, which is under the motto "From rainforest to the residual waste bin", shows how natural systems work in balance and how easily they can be thrown out of the track through human action. According to Potsdam.de , one of the main goals is to raise awareness of the protection of the tropical forests that are of crucial importance for the global climate and our future.

tropical rainforests are true miracles of nature. They store large amounts of carbon and regulate the global climate, while at the same time acting as a home for more than half of all known species. However, these ecosystems, which are mainly in the equator regions of South America, Africa and Southeast Asia, are at risk from deforestation, agriculture and illegal wood harvested Waldpedia . The loss of biodiversity and the consequences of climate change is particularly worrying.

The importance of natural cycles

A central feature of the tropical rainforests is their natural “handicap”: the floors can hardly store nutrients, which makes natural regeneration heavily more difficult by human interventions. The rainforest uses a differentiated system for nutrient filtering, with organisms such as trees, epiphytes and mycorrhizae play an essential role. Unfortunately, practices such as all-off can leave the nutrients in the ashes that cannot be used by the ground Diercke .

The exhibition in Potsdam, which is organized in cooperation with the Potsdam biosphere, wants to show how circular economy can be practically implemented and how important it is to protect resources, separate substances and recycle materials. The connection between environmental protection and sustainable management becomes alive and tangible here. There is no garbage in nature - everything is part of a large circulation that we can influence through our daily decisions.

challenges and solutions

The protection and preservation of the tropical rainforests are of great importance for all of us. These outstanding ecosystems not only contribute to regulating the climate, but are also living space for numerous species and important for the water cycle. Nevertheless, they face challenges such as illegal activities, monocultures and general pollution Waldpedia .

In order to be able to meet these challenges, global cooperation is necessary. The protection of indigenous communities that traditionally often live in harmony with nature can also be part of the solution. Only through joint action can we get the sensitive equilibria in the rainforest and use the resources he offers sustainably.

The event in Potsdam symbolizes the burning need to actively deal with the topics of environmental protection and sustainability - because today our actions have a direct impact on the world of tomorrow. Let us have a good hand and take the decisive steps for a clean, sustainable future!
