Whatever it takes to contribute to hold on to or reinvent resources that provide us with our comfortable daily lives, that we are so used to, we owe it to each other, and to the planet to contribute any way we can. But we also owe it to each other to become educated about such things, as you are.
Ecosystem services is a wonderful concept, I’d never heard of it before. Hopefully it will be very popular and encourage people to value the natural environment more. Great video btw!!
PES? I must admit, that I was very much unaware of the existence of these programs until I watched your video. Thank you for bringing this information to the attention of your subscribers. It's just another reason why I enjoy watching your channel.
Reminds me of how Ikea has been destroying ancient forests in my country, Romania for many years now. Luckily, we have two things going for us: King Charles owning much land in historic Transylvania and Romania having Europe's highest brown bear population. Ikea has destroyed at least half of our forests since 2007. Sadly, almost nothing stands in their way.
Excellent Mary Jane! Your love of your subject came through loud and clear. My short answer to your question is "yes". But the long answer is "it depends". I would not agree to write a blank check, and I would want some sort of monitoring and reporting to know that whatever money we spent to save the Amazon was getting us what we paid for. How feasible would it be for you to do a similar video about the oceans? And the deserts? And swamps? Etc, etc........
Cool vid. "the cathedrals of carbon sequestration". I like that. I wonder how good a job were doing in schools to teach kids about how important forests are? I certainly don't recall any passionate lectures about them. Maybe it was mentioned here or there that trees "release oxygen".
P.s. MJ Perhaps a video explaining *Forest Succession* from soil organisms to photosynthesis to nitrogen fixation ... Longleaf pine densely covered more than half of the eastern pre-colonial North America. Now, only one to three percent of the orginal forest remains, some in hard wood hammocks. Slash pine is cultivated by industry nowadays. Btw, pine trees purposely set fire to the ecosystem to survive so other plants don't. Nature isn't exactly pastoral and sublime.
Ecco una cosa di cui avevo bisogno e di cui mi ero dimenticato, grazie per il video! Ma la parte di girato nel verde, nella prima parte di video, con il ruscello, dove si trova? È meraviglioso!
2.113.000.000.000 USD was spent for military interests in 2021 (Statista) That’s a lot. Could we save our planetary lunges with it? Better than without, right?
6:42 Wasser: Tiefen und Lichter… Farbraum als Maske auswählen, Rand weich mit Störungen (falls nötig) Das macht Glitzerpünktchen und Lichtschauer auf der Oberfläche. Gleiches versuchen mit Grüntönen (wie beim Schminken - nur soviel Veränderung, dass es gerade eben nicht sichtbar ist). - wenn das irgendwie nützlich ist 🤷 Ich gehe jetzt spazieren und schaue mir dein Neues Stück in der Ruhe, heute Abend an. Ich freue mich daruf 😊
