Rescue of the rainforests: key to global climate protection in Potsdam!

in a world that increasingly deals with the challenges of climate change and pollution, the protection of tropical rainforests appears more important than ever. However, these unique ecosystems, which maintain a fascinating balance through natural cycles, are under immense pressure due to deforestation and climate change. A look at the situation shows that the protection of these forests is of crucial not only for biodiversity, but also for our global climate.

tropical rainforests are true treasury of nature. When plants die, they are quickly decomposed, with the nutrients get back into the ground. This harmonious system is increasingly disturbed by human activities. The Biosphere Potsdam is intensively committed to environmental protection and sustainability and shows in a current exhibition on how circular economy can be practically implemented. Here it is underlined that there is no garbage in nature; Everything is part of a larger circulation that should also be imitated in modern society.

The consequences of deforestation

What happens if these systems are destroyed? Studies show that the clearing of the rainforests is about a ninth of all human-caused carbon emissions. This is caused by the researchers at the Federal Environment Agency, which have considered the late consequences of the clearing: when deforestation, carbon quickly reaches the atmosphere and thus further promotes climate change through the greenhouse gas CO2. This has far -reaching effects on the worldwide climate and endangers the planetary balance.

the need for action

The water cycle of these tropical forests has far -reaching effects on the weather in many regions. Despite the efforts to reduce the deforestation, the destruction by practices such as slash -after and illegal deforestation continues. The President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has taken measures since 2023 to contain the deforestation, but so far the progress has been limited.

In order to break through the vicious circle of destruction and climate crisis, it is crucial to strengthen the measures to reforest. Protecting the rainforests is not only a question of nature conservation, but also of humanity, because a healthy planet is the basis for a healthy society. In this sense, the call for active participation of each individual in the implementation of recycling and participation in sustainable practices is of great importance.

In Potsdam, the knowledge about the importance of rainforest protection is not only dealt with - the exhibition also shows how we can actively contribute to the cleanliness of our world. And if everyone contributes their part, this can benefit not only the local but also the global goals of environmental protection.
