To Gather Information
We will endeavor to publish as many environment related articles as possible..
We will use this technology, and create links to other environmental
organizations.
We invite all to contribute to the articles section of this site, in order
to obtain as "unbiased" a view as possible.
To Create Public
Awareness
We want to create the awareness that we are part of the environment.
The "health" of our people, depends upon the "health" of our
environment.
In Mpumalanga, 615 000 hectares of exotic, mono culture tree plantations have been
established. These plantations are not forests, and cause almost total destruction
of indigenous Fauna and Flora in "afforested" areas. The industry spends a lot
of money on pro-forestry campaigns, and we will strive to obtain some balance in the
debate.
We will inform, as to the state of our diminishing grassland,
We will inform as to the state of indigenous, medicinal herbs.
We will inform as to the state of aquatic life, insects, reptiles, birds
and mammals in our environment.
We will inform as to the state of our rivers, the quality, and quantity, of the water
To Combat Further
Destruction
We will mount a campaign to enforce a moratorium on further
"afforestation"
We believe no more scarce indigenous grassland should
fall victim to the certain death by the establishment of exotic mono culture tree
plantations.
Together, To
Rehabilitate
We believe that all involved should work together, to ensure responsible
land use. Meaningful change can only occur with the inclusion
off all.
We believe in the "minimal land use" concept.
We believe intensive studies should be conducted into less
environmentally damaging alternatives to exotic trees, i.e.. Industrial Hemp and
Indigenous trees. The results should be made available to the public.
