&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Aparentemente, neste campo, leva vantagem ao setor privado.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Unir forças com os fornecedores para encontrar soluções mais ecológicas e socialmente responsáveis, permite às organizações, destacarem-se face à concorrência, além de criar valor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Segundo a McCann, a criação de novos modelos que tragam vantagens nas vertentes econômica, ambiental e social definirá, num futuro próximo, quais as organizações de sucesso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;A sustentabilidade vende e é cada vez mais essencial à saúde das marcas.Eis as conclusões que o grupo mundial publicou, recentemente, em conjunto com o Pnuma (Programa das Nações Unidas para o Meio Ambiente). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Algumas iniciativas são já, inclusive, levadas a cabo, em Portugal, pelo sector público, no contexto da adoção da prática de procurement sustentável. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Trata-se, no fundo, de adquirir bens e serviços mais eficientes em termos de energia e recursos consumidos. Nalguns casos pioneiros, contudo, nem sempre é considerada a análise do ciclo de vida. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;É o caso da escolha de híbridos, com maior impacto ambiental na extração da matéria prima, produção e consumo, quando comparada com outras opções no mercado. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Está efetivamente comprovado que há motores a gasóleo mais eficientes (e mais baratos), logo, menos prejudiciais ao ambiente do que os motores híbridos. Outro mito: o fato de adquirir produtos biológicos, por exemplo, nem sempre é sinônimo de menor impacto ambiental. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Caso a origem seja do outro lado do continente, é preferível recorrer a opções locais ou nacionais e privilegiar produtos da região. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Reserve-se a exceção, nalgumas situações, a produtos fair trade. Se houver opção de escolha, a primazia deve ser dada, sempre que possível, aos alimentos de época (fruta, legumes e, no caso do pescado, evitando os períodos de desova).Mas para quem procura, neste setor, sistematizar ações de compras menos prejudiciais ao ambiente, pode contar com o encaminhamento da estratégia de desenvolvimento LEAP (Local Authorities EMAS and Procurement). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Este projeto é co-financiado pela Comissão Européia e reúne 12 autarquias do Reino Unido, Suécia, Grécia, Espanha e Portugal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Soluções à vista no setor privado, a implementação de procurement sustentável depende do compromisso assumido pela gestão de topo, uma vez que a legislação é omissa. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Contudo, as organizações – públicas e privadas – podem sempre recorrer à implementação de requisitos das normas NP EN ISO 14001: 2004 (sistema de gestão ambiental), OHSAS 18001: 2007 (sistema de gestão de segurança e saúde no trabalho) e SA 8000: 2008 (para introdução de critérios ambientais, de segurança e saúde no trabalho e princípios de responsabilidade social nos seus processos de compra). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Sendo uma Associação de Municípios, a LIPOR certificou-se, em Dezembro de 2008, segundo o referencial internacional de Responsabilidade Social SA 8000. Adicionalmente, criou - também em 2008 -, o seu Código de Conduta para Fornecedores. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Este visa estabelecer um compromisso entre ambas as partes, relativamente aos princípios da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, às Convenções da Organização Internacional do Trabalho e da Legislação Nacional e Comunitária em vigor, e deve ser aplicado às suas atividades comerciais. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Considerar os fornecedores como parte interessada e interveniente na estratégia de desenvolvimento sustentável e de melhoria contínua já é uma realidade para 83 por cento de 50 empresas portuguesas, dos setores público e privado (taxa de participação de 60%, com 73% das respostas com origem em empresas associadas do BCSD Portugal). 66,7 por cento dos inquiridos declaram praticar o procurement sustentável enquanto 6,7% confessam não o fazer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;O que é nacional é bomCerca de 60 por cento das inquiridas asseguram dar preferência a fornecedores nacionais. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;O requisito é que reúnam as condições tecnológicas e comerciais equivalentes a alternativas internacionais. Ao fazê-lo, estão a promover o desenvolvimento econômico e social das comunidades onde se inserem (garantindo a procura a nível local e nacional, mantém-se o emprego), mas também ambiental (quanto maior o recurso a fornecedores locais, menor é o impacto ambiental, evitando emissões provenientes do transporte, entre outras). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;No fim, ganha a economia global do País. Para tornar o procurement sustentável numa prática consolidada no seio empresarial português é essencial seguir o exemplo de 33 por cento dos inquiridos: respeitar o Código de Conduta Para Fornecedores, através da solicitação de evidências documentadas, da realização de auditorias e/ou da visita aos fornecedores. O que, aliás, potencia a procura por padrões de qualidade superiores, contribuindo para a criação de um contexto mais competitivo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Minimizar o risco do negócio, criando espaço para investir em inovação e no desenvolvimento tecnológico, são os resultados apontados para um reconhecimento geral das vantagens inerentes à criação de parcerias com os fornecedores numa lógica win-win. Peso e medida - estabelecer e implementar objetivo e metas mensuráveis e consistentes com a política de procurement sustentável é um bom ponto de partida. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;O recurso a um serviço de cattering biológico ou com base em produtos regionais; a compra de produtos de limpeza com rótulo ecológico ou a celebração de contratos com título “verde” ou de limpeza ecológica; ou a aquisição de equipamento elétrico de classe A ou com o selo Energy Star são alguns exemplos. Neste último caso, no fundo, além da eficiência energética e da qualidade, o mais sustentável dos equipamentos é aquele que assegure um ciclo de vida mais longo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Alguns eletrodomésticos permitem que o programa seja submetido a um upgrade, evitando tornarem-se rapidamente obsoletos ou que se proceda à sua substituição por uma versão mais “atual”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;As opções não acabam aqui... Até a construção de um edifício pode ser energeticamente eficiente. Basta inspirar-se na arquitetura bioclimática, com maior foco na orientação solar, e / ou no recurso a materiais disponíveis na zona de construção e / ou com menor impacto ambiental. No caso da arquitetura bioclimática, nem sequer inflaciona o orçamento. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Basta considerar como zonas “tampão” as casas-de-banho, garagens, escadas e corredores. Ou seja, que sejam orientadas a Norte, a fim de reduzir o impacte do frio. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;É suficiente ter em conta alguns destes fatores, para que a factura da energia pese menos no orçamento, garantindo, simultaneamente uma maior eficiência energética e um maior conforto. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Todas estas inúmeras opções são uma forma eficaz de comunicar aos fornecedores (e ao mercado) qual a verdadeira política da organização. * &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Sandrine Lage é jornalista portuguesa, Msc Design for Sustainability (Cranfield), escritora, comunicóloga e pesquisadora das melhores práticas editoriais e de gestão nas áreas de sustentabilidade na mídia com formação em gestão de RH e responsabilidade social empresarial, concluiu, em 2008, o Masters Programme Design for Sustainability, na Universidade de Cranfield, no Reino Unido, com a tese “Como melhorar a comunicação da sustentabilidade nos Media”, baseada nos case studies dos jornais Público (Portugal) e The Guardian (Britânico). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

"Essa descoberta casual gerou um projeto ambicioso", conta o biólogo Rodrigo Moura, coordenador do programa Marine Management Area Science da Conservação Internacional (CI) do Brasil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     Formado por cinco ilhotas de origem vulcânica a 70 quilômetros da costa no sul da Bahia, o parque abriga &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1AMRA-8H2Ts/SONVa1bh74I/AAAAAAAAAmM/dZzkQXAZToI/s1600-h/art3634img1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252135509951639426" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1AMRA-8H2Ts/SONVa1bh74I/AAAAAAAAAmM/dZzkQXAZToI/s320/art3634img1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;mais do que as baleias-jubarte, que atraem turistas entre julho e novembro. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     Ali estão os chapeirões, estruturas em forma de cogumelo cujos topos às vezes se unem e formam colunatas por onde circulam barracudas, garoupas, moréias e pequenos peixes coloridos. Das 16 espécies de coral de Abrolhos, metade é exclusiva do Brasil, como o coral-cérebro (Mussismilia braziliensis), principal construtor de recifes na região. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     O banco dos Abrolhos, maior conjunto de recifes do Atlântico Sul, é maior que os 900 quilômetros quadrados preservados. No total são 40 mil quilômetros quadrados, área semelhante à do Espírito Santo, que só agora começa a ser investigada a fundo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     O grupo de Moura explorou o fundo do mar ao longo de 100 quilômetros da costa – entre a foz do rio Jequitinhonha, sul da Bahia, e a do rio Doce, norte do Espírito Santo –, em 19 linhas que partiam do litoral mar adentro, até a queda da plataforma continental, onde a profundidade aumenta subitamente. "Percorrer cada uma dessas linhas demorava dois dias", lembra o geólogo Alex Bastos, da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Ufes), que participou de algumas expedições no barco equipado com um sonar que produzia imagens tridimensionais do fundo do oceano. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     O geólogo da Ufes se surpreendeu por encontrar, a profundidades de até 50 metros, paleocanais formados há cerca de 15 mil anos, quando o que hoje é coberto por mar era terra. "Esses canais indicam por onde os rios passavam naquela época", explica. Como estão preservados, sugerem que o nível do mar subiu rapidamente na região. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     O grupo selecionou pontos de destaque nas imagens do sonar e retornou com um robô capaz de filmar locais a que um mergulhador teria dificuldade de descer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     As imagens do robô mostraram corais-negros, típicos de águas profundas, pela primeira vez registrados na região, e algas calcáreas, com um esqueleto de carbonato de cálcio que lembra seixo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     Em setembro os pesquisadores pretendem usar o robô para investigar outras áreas dos recifes e mergulhar a 90 metros, a fim de verificar se há corais por ali. Paulo Sumida, oceanógrafo da Universidade de São Paulo (USP) que coordena a análise dos dados biológicos, deve instalar nos recifes câmeras que automaticamente registram uma imagem por hora, a fim de estudar a dinâmica da vida marinha ali. Embora o levantamento ecológico esteja no início, Rodrigo Moura e o biólogo Ronaldo Francini-Filho, da Universidade Estadual da Paraíba (UEPB), já constataram que os recifes profundos abrigam uma biomassa de peixes com valor comercial 30 vezes maior do que os rasos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     Em artigo a ser publicado na Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, eles compararam a população de peixes de recifes profundos e rasos – alguns protegidos e outros com acesso livre para pescadores. Viram que áreas com restrição à pesca são mais ricas em peixes carnívoros de grande porte, como a garoupa, em geral os primeiros a desaparecer das áreas de pesca, que demoram até 40 anos para chegar à idade adulta. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     Com o escasseamento dos grandes carnívoros , os pescadores passam a capturar os herbívoros, como os budiões. O problema é que, sem budiões, as algas cobrem os recifes e os corais morrem. Hoje menos de 1% da área de Abrolhos está protegida. E não há planos de preservação dos recifes profundos. Segundo Francini-Filho, seria preciso preservar 20% de cada zona para manter a biodiversidade. As reservas marinhas beneficiam todos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     Como os limites só valem para as pessoas, a população de peixes aumenta rapidamente e muitos migram até 1.200 metros fora das reservas, de acordo com publicado on-line na Fisheries Research. Mesmo em áreas protegidas, parte dos corais de Abrolhos se encontra ameaçada. Francini-Filho constatou que uma bactéria – provavelmente do gênero Vibrio, que chegou a Abrolhos em 2005 – está matando sobretudo o coral-cérebro. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     Os pesquisadores estimam que, se nada for feito, em cem anos só restarão 40% dos corais dessa espécie em Abrolhos. É uma estimativa otimista. Se a temperatura da água subir 1° Celsius por causa do aquecimento global, bastarão de 50 a 70 anos para extinguir os corais de Abrolhos. Com mais calor as bactérias proliferam mais depressa e surgem outros problemas como o branqueamento, decorrente da morte de microalgas que vivem no interior dos corais. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Conter o aquecimento global requer ação de todos os países, mas é possível reduzir o nível de bactérias com a coleta e o tratamento do esgoto das cidades costeiras. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Fonte: Revista Pesquisa fapesp.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.revistapesquisa.fapesp.br/?art=3634&amp;amp;bd=1&amp;amp;pg=1&amp;amp;lg"&gt;http://www.revistapesquisa.fapesp.br/?art=3634&amp;amp;bd=1&amp;amp;pg=1&amp;amp;lg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;meio ambiente&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740375072609633905-1956947593508491962?l=strassburger-org.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Strassburgerorg/~4/VwAa2oq0kZc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://strassburger-org.blogspot.com/feeds/1956947593508491962/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3740375072609633905&amp;postID=1956947593508491962&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740375072609633905/posts/default/1956947593508491962?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740375072609633905/posts/default/1956947593508491962?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Strassburgerorg/~3/VwAa2oq0kZc/rea-de-recifes-de-corais-em-abrolhos.html" title="Área de recifes de corais em Abrolhos é duas vezes maior do que se pensava" /><author><name>JStrassburger</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02612734869525711336</uri><email>Strassburger.Org@hotmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08689910007451784526" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1AMRA-8H2Ts/SONVa1bh74I/AAAAAAAAAmM/dZzkQXAZToI/s72-c/art3634img1.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://strassburger-org.blogspot.com/2008/10/rea-de-recifes-de-corais-em-abrolhos.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CUYDRnY4cCp7ImA9WxRRE00.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740375072609633905.post-1667797949805813742</id><published>2008-09-24T21:36:00.001-03:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T21:39:37.838-03:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-09-24T21:39:37.838-03:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="planet" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="global climate" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="powerfull" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="global worm" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="terra" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="species extinction" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="earth" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="energy" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="energia" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="petróleo" /><title /><content type="html">&lt;p align="justificated"&gt;&lt;span style="size: 18;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;color:#4a3328;"  &gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pegada ecológica. Espécie humana vai consumir o dobro do ideal até o ano 2050&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A WWF pisou fundo no conceito de "pegada ecológica" ("ecological footprint", em inglês). É um indicador simples da pressão exercida sobre o ambiente. Representa a quantidade de hectares necessários para sustentar a vida de cada pessoa no mundo. A média é 2,2 hectares, mas o espaço disponível para regeneração ("biocapacidade") é de apenas 1,8 hectare", escreve Marcelo Leite,  doutor em Ciências Sociais pela Unicamp, em artigo publicado no jornal Folha de S. Paulo, 29-10-2006.Eis o artigo:&lt;br /&gt;"O Fundo Mundial para a Natureza (WWF) prestou um novo serviço para o futuro do planeta -se é que ele tem mesmo algum futuro. Na última terça-feira, pôs no ar a versão de 2006 do relatório "Planeta Vivo" (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.footprintnetwork.org/overshoot"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;www.footprintnetwork.org/overshoot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;), que faz mais pelo ambiente global do que muitas exibições de histrionismo verde. Informação, não tanto emoção: a humanidade já retira da Terra 25% mais recursos do que a biosfera pode reciclar.&lt;br /&gt;A ONG pisou fundo no conceito de "pegada ecológica" ("ecological footprint", em inglês). É um indicador simples da pressão exercida sobre o ambiente. Representa a quantidade de hectares necessários para sustentar a vida de cada pessoa no mundo. A média é 2,2 hectares, mas o espaço disponível para regeneração ("biocapacidade") é de apenas 1,8 hectare.&lt;br /&gt;Alguns exemplos: Estados Unidos, 9,6; Reino Unido, 5,6; Japão, 4,4; Brasil, 2,1; China, 1,6; Índia, 0,8. Os três primeiros são devedores; os últimos, credores -usam menos do que a média. Conjuntamente, estão todos sacando a descoberto.&lt;br /&gt;(Antes que alguém venha com o velho argumento condorcetiano/antimalthusiano de que a tecnologia aumenta a produtividade, cabe dizer que isso foi agregado na metodologia do estudo. E que dois pés de soja, por mais produtivos que eles possam ser, não podem ocupar um mesmo pedaço de chão.)&lt;br /&gt;Se nada for feito, é óbvio que vai piorar. Em 2050, a espécie humana estará consumindo o dobro do que deveria. Provavelmente já terá então ocorrido o que se poderia chamar de "crise da dívida ambiental", que vai provocar saudade da crise do petróleo e da crise da dívida externa. Embora haja controvérsias quanto ao bom senso ser de fato a coisa mais bem distribuída do mundo, tudo indica que será preciso recorrer antes disso a ele -por puro pragmatismo.&lt;br /&gt;Seria o caso de começar fazendo com que os inventores do termo "ecochato" engulam a ofensa, inaugurada em 1992, quando se realizou no Rio de Janeiro a Cúpula da Terra.&lt;br /&gt;Sim, a conversa dos verdes sempre foi meio enfadonha, cheia de estimativas catastróficas difíceis de verificar e assimilar. Além disso, tinham e têm uma tendência irritante a insistir. Talvez seja porque têm razão.&lt;br /&gt;Não, a preocupação com o ambiente global não é mero fastio de intelectuais desiludidos com o marxismo, nem último reduto de meia-oitos. Demorou, mas entrou no radar dos economistas, pelo menos dos mais antenados. E até de Al Gore, legítimo produto do establishment americano.&lt;br /&gt;Retrospectivamente, a reviravolta prova que o rótulo de "ecochato", usado para matar a discussão, fazia tanto sentido quanto criticar freqüentadores de estádios de futebol como uns malucos que gostam de ver 22 marmanjos correndo atrás de uma bola. Esse mesmo pessoal com alergia a verde sempre babou por um relatório do Banco Mundial, cujos números apareciam como encarnação da racionalidade. Se o WWF ainda lhes causar urticária, e como a semana foi dos relatórios ambientais, fica aqui a sugestão de outro: "Em desacordo? Expansão Agrícola, Redução da Pobreza e Meio Ambiente nas Florestas Tropicais" (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldbank.org/tropicalforestreport"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;www.worldbank.org/tropicalforestreport&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;O autor principal é Ken Chomitz, economista do Banco Mundial. O volume defende que países ricos invistam na preservação de florestas tropicais, pagando para que países como o Brasil continuem a prestar esse serviço ambiental para o planeta. Até o governo brasileiro já concorda.

Estamos comendo o capital biológico acumulado em mais de três bilhões de anos de evolução da vida: nem mesmo uma superintervenção como a do governo dos Estados Unidos para tapar os buracos dos bancos americanos bastaria para reequilibrar nossa relação com o planeta. Dia 23 de setembro é o Earth Overshoot Day [dia da ultrapassagem dos limites da Terra, ndt]: a hora da bancarrota ecológica.&lt;br /&gt;A reportagem é de Antonio Cianciullo e publicada pelo jornal La Repubblica, 22-09-2008.&lt;br /&gt;Dia 23 de setembro é o Earth Overshoot Day, que em 1955 se desencadeou quase dois meses mais tarde. As projeções das Nações Unidas: sem adoção de medidas, em 2050 encerraremos no dia primeiro de julho.&lt;br /&gt;É o dia em que a renda anual à nossa disposição acaba e os seres humanos vivos continuam a sobreviver pedindo um empréstimo ao futuro, ou seja, retirando riqueza aos filhos e aos netos. A data foi calculada pelo Global Footprint Network, a associação que mensura a pegada ecológica, ou seja, o sinal que cada um de nós deixa sobre o planeta retirando aquilo de que necessita para viver e eliminando o que não lhe serve mais, os rejeitos.&lt;br /&gt;O dia 23 de setembro não é uma data fixa. Por milênios o impacto da humanidade, em nível global, foi transcurável: era um número irrelevante no que se refere à ação produzida pelos eventos naturais que modelaram o planeta. Com o crescimento da população (o século vinte começou com 1,6 bilhões de seres humanos e concluiu com 6 bilhões de seres humanos) e com o crescimento do consumo (o energético aumentou 16 vezes durante o século passado) o quadro mudou em períodos que, do ponto de vista da história geológica, representam uma fração de segundo.&lt;br /&gt;Em 1961 metade da Terra era suficiente para satisfazer as nossas necessidades. O primeiro ano em que a humanidade utilizou mais recursos do que os oferecidos pela biocapacidade do planeta foi 1986, mas, daquela vez o cartãozinho vermelho se ergueu no dia 31 de dezembro: o dano ainda era moderado. Em 1995 a fase do superconsumo já devorara mais de um mês de calendário: a partir de 21 de novembro a quantidade de madeira, fibras, animais e verduras devoradas ia além da capacidade dos ecossistemas de se regenerarem; a retirada começava a devorar o capital à disposição, num círculo vicioso que reduz os úteis à disposição e constringe a antecipar sempre mais o momento do débito.&lt;br /&gt;Em 2005, o Earth Overshoot Day caiu no dia 2 de outubro. Neste ano já o adiantamos para o dia 23 de setembro: já consumimos quase 40 por cento a mais do que aquilo que a natureza pode oferecer sem se empobrecer. Segundo as projeções das Nações Unidas, o ano no qual – se não se tomarem providências – o vermelho vai disparar no dia primeiro de julho será 2050. Isto significa que na metade do século precisaremos de um segundo planeta à disposição. E, visto que é difícil levantar para aquela época a hipótese de uma transferência planetária, será preciso bloquear o superconsumo agindo numa dupla frente: tecnologias e estilos de vida.&lt;br /&gt;O esforço inovador da indústria de ponta produziu um primeiro salto tecnológico relevante: no campo dos eletrodomésticos, da iluminação, da calefação das casas, da fabricação de algumas mercadorias o consumo se reduziu notavelmente. Mas, também os estilos de vida desempenham um papel relevante. Para nos convencermos disso basta confrontar o débito ecológico de países nos quais os níveis de bem-estar são semelhantes. Se o modelo dos Estados Unidos fosse estendido a todo o planeta, precisaríamos de 5,4 Terras. Com o estilo do Reino Unido se desce a 3,1 Terras. Com a Alemanha a 2,5. Com a Itália a 2,2.&lt;br /&gt;“Temos um débito ecológico igual a menos do que a metade daquele dos States, mesmo para nossa adesão às raízes da produção tradicional e para a liderança no campo da agricultura biológica, a de menor impacto ambiental”, explica Roberto Brambilla, da rede Lilliput que, junto com a WWF, cuida da difusão dos cálculos do rastro ecológico. “Mas, também para nós a caminhada para o objetivo da sustentabilidade é longa: servem-nos menos obras prejudiciais como a Ponte sobre o Estreito e mais reflorestamento para reduzir a emissão de gás serra e os desmoronamentos”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.unisinos.br/_ihu/index.php?option=com_noticias&amp;amp;Itemid=18&amp;amp;task=detalhe&amp;amp;id=16861"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#009900;"&gt;http://www.unisinos.br/_ihu/index.php?option=com_noticias&amp;amp;Itemid=18&amp;amp;task=detalhe&amp;amp;id=16861&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;meio ambiente&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740375072609633905-1345369631548726458?l=strassburger-org.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Strassburgerorg/~4/LvcvGySKVmU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://strassburger-org.blogspot.com/feeds/1345369631548726458/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3740375072609633905&amp;postID=1345369631548726458&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740375072609633905/posts/default/1345369631548726458?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740375072609633905/posts/default/1345369631548726458?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Strassburgerorg/~3/LvcvGySKVmU/no-vermelho.html" title="No Vermelho" /><author><name>JStrassburger</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02612734869525711336</uri><email>Strassburger.Org@hotmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08689910007451784526" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://strassburger-org.blogspot.com/2008/09/no-vermelho.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0ENRHw6fCp7ImA9WxRSF0k.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740375072609633905.post-9012920107472002790</id><published>2008-09-18T10:40:00.002-03:00</published><updated>2008-09-18T10:48:15.214-03:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-09-18T10:48:15.214-03:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="elétrica" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="google" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tecnologia" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="energia" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="carbone dioxide" /><title /><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1AMRA-8H2Ts/SNJbVyue36I/AAAAAAAAAmE/5ynTKUdQ8ys/s1600-h/cleanenergy.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247356945792163746" style="FLOAT: left;

Good or bad, we affect the planet with everything we do. And I know that as good eco-citizens, you feel, as I do, that we have a responsibility to do what we can to mitigate the adverse effects we have on the Earth. But do you know how much your actions are affecting the planet? Conservation International has created this handy eco-footprint calculator to help you discover your eco-score. It's a simple quiz that asks what you do that has an effect on our environment. When you've answered all the questions, you'll see your score, how you compare to others in the conservation community, and some tips on how you can improve your score. &lt;a href="http://getinvolved.conservation.org/site/R?i=OEgV3qafpmFAhzVLbz-u7w"&gt;http://getinvolved.conservation.org/site/R?i=OEgV3qafpmFAhzVLbz-u7w&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="size: 18;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;color:#4a3328;"  &gt;At Conservation International, our mission is to supply you with practical solutions you can use in your everyday life.

His words long ago apply to the challenge of climate change today.&lt;br /&gt;Until relatively recently in human history, nature kept our planet’s climate in balance. Then the Industrial Revolution brought huge emissions of man-made greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, resulting in the climate change we experience today. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="size: 18;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;color:#4a3328;"  &gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;To restore the Earth’s natural balance, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://www.conservation.org/FMG/Articles/Pages/01180801.aspx"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;nations of the world must work together&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; to mitigate climate change by drastically decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt to the significant warming that already is unavoidable.&lt;br /&gt;That requires a holistic strategy that both cuts emissions and strengthens nature’s ability to regulate the climate and sustain life. We need man-made technology to find cleaner energy sources and production. We also need nature’s own technology – the healthy ecosystems of our planet that provide clean air, fresh water, food, medicines, and countless other benefits and services on which we depend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="size: 18;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;color:#4a3328;"  &gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;For more than two decades, Conservation International (CI) has worked with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://www.conservation.org/discover/partnership/Pages/default.aspx"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;

Eles citam como conseqüência dessa distorção o aumento do trabalho &lt;strong&gt;infantil&lt;/strong&gt;, a &lt;strong&gt;prostituição&lt;/strong&gt; e o &lt;strong&gt;esgotamento dos recursos naturais&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contudo, o turismo também pode ser uma ferramenta para melhorar as condições de vida das populações locais, assinalaram, lembrando que a &lt;strong&gt;luta contra&lt;/strong&gt; essa situação também é uma "luta contra a pobreza".&lt;br /&gt;"O trabalho ainda é imenso. Cerca de 1,3 bilhão de pessoas vivem abaixo da linha de pobreza, mas são os países do norte os principais beneficiários do desenvolvimento turístico no mundo", assinalou Frederic Leroy, promotor do encontro organizado pela Coalizão Internacional para um &lt;strong&gt;Turismo Responsável&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;O turismo internacional gera mais de US$ 800 bilhões ao ano, mas menos de um terço desse lucro vai para os países visitados. O restante é abocanhado pelas companhias aéreas, operadores de viagem e redes de hotéis, segundo as estimativas das ONGs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O turismo é, atualmente, uma das principais fontes de renda dos países em desenvolvimento. Muitos de seus habitantes se vêem tentados a abandonar atividades tradicionais como &lt;strong&gt;artesanato&lt;/strong&gt; e &lt;strong&gt;agricultura&lt;/strong&gt; para trabalhar nesse setor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas isso se mostra um grande problema quando o setor turístico sofre um revés de um dia para o outro nesses países, como aconteceu na Mauritânia e no Quênia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Foi difícil para as pessoas voltarem para seus povoados e recomeçar a vida em suas tarefas agrícolas", assinalou Guillaume Cromer, um dos dirigentes da Coalition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outra conseqüência do turismo de massa é, por exemplo, que as áreas costeiras do Senegal e do Camboja estão tomadas por crianças, recrutados pelas redes locais para vender lembranças aos turistas, denunciou Leroy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O debate do turismo responsável tem ainda mais importância no atual contexto de uma crise alimentar. Entre os países candidatos à abertura ao turismo, os organizadores citaram o Haiti, onde em abril houve uma série de &lt;strong&gt;incidentes&lt;/strong&gt; provocados pela falta de alimentos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &lt;strong&gt;extrema pobreza&lt;/strong&gt; gera também &lt;strong&gt;"a exploração do turismo sexual de Madagascar",&lt;/strong&gt; onde as &lt;strong&gt;crianças&lt;/strong&gt; se prostituem nos bares, destacou Frederic Sorge, membro da associação francesa AidéTous, que &lt;strong&gt;luta contra o turismo sexual infantil&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Coalizão Internacional para o Turismo Responsável, fundada em 2007 por Leroy, reúne mais de 335 ONGs do setor turístico de 90 países. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Autor: France Presse – 04/06/2008&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;meio ambiente&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740375072609633905-8627933400401090413?l=strassburger-org.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Strassburgerorg/~4/LLvjuJ0DFKE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://strassburger-org.blogspot.com/feeds/8627933400401090413/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3740375072609633905&amp;postID=8627933400401090413&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740375072609633905/posts/default/8627933400401090413?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740375072609633905/posts/default/8627933400401090413?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Strassburgerorg/~3/LLvjuJ0DFKE/turismo-irresponsvel-prejudica.html" title="" /><author><name>JStrassburger</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02612734869525711336</uri><email>Strassburger.Org@hotmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08689910007451784526" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://strassburger-org.blogspot.com/2008/06/turismo-irresponsvel-prejudica.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DE4ARH84fip7ImA9WxdTGUs.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740375072609633905.post-4783277016596104456</id><published>2008-05-16T16:22:00.004-03:00</published><updated>2008-05-16T16:42:25.136-03:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-05-16T16:42:25.136-03:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="conservation" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="global climate" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="China" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Pandas" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Panda" /><title>China Support Effort</title><content type="html">&lt;span style="size: 18;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;color:#4a3328;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The Southwest China hotspot, especially the areas around the panda reserves where we work, is one of the hardest hit areas from the tragic earthquake on Monday. With obvious need for support, our CI China team has started to collaborate with our partners and local community leaders to assess the best way to help the rural regions where we work. The demand is most urgent for shelter, antibiotics, warm clothing, food and drinking water. It is highly likely that the region will need extensive long-term financial support (millions of dollars) and additional fundraising dollars will be needed to rebuild conservation efforts and improve the livelihood and well-being of the area's residents.

There was a turnout of 3000, which was smaller than expected due to bad rain, but at the protest they started leafleting for the GDA demonstration, which will be on 29th November as 6th December is a bank holiday. Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth Spain will also be involved in the Spanish GDA protest this year.Dylan reports from Canada: they are starting a tour on biotechnology and biofuels, and are also planning a climate camp this summer at Parliament Hill. This event can be used to spread the word about the next GDA mobilisation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;There is one obstacle in Canada for the next GDA as the 6th of December is the Day against violence against women (remembering a massacre 20 years ago). However, Act for the Earth is trying to make as many links as possible to women’s groups and the gender aspect of climate change to turn this obstacle into an advantage. As an aftermath of the protests last year 6 people who got arrested will face trial this May. Act for the Earth will try to use these trials as an opportunity to put the national climate policies “on trial”. Another focus for Canadian organisations will be the G8 that will be back in Canada in 2010.Will reports from the US: in the US a team of campaigners (including former campaigners from Step it Up) are concentrating on a campaign called 350 to push the international community to adopt CO2 emissions reduction targets that will keep CO2 gases under 350ppm. The webpage will be ready end of May/beginning of June. The idea is to organise days of action around the number and to find people supporting this campaign in their countries.Mareike reports from Greenpeace International: For the build up to the Poznan talks GI are organising a boat tour with the first ship having already left from New Zealand to reach Poland later in the year passing China, India and Spain. In Poland itself Greenpeace will organise a climate camp next to an open coalmine. For the Poznan talks the Solar Generation Network (the global youth network of Greenpeace) is planning to get involved with actions.Susann reports from FOE Europe: FOE Europe supports the GDA 2008. They are focusing more on the talks in Copenhagen in 2009 rather than the Poznan talks. However, FOE youth groups will organise a meeting in Poland with about 50 delegates from around Europe and collecting messages from all around the world to display at the Poznan talks. Other FOE groups will get involved in actions in their own countries and it is also planned to use the ESF in Sweden for promotion.Christina reports from Germany: the Klima Allianz will organise local actions all around Germany for the GDA and they will also mobilise people from the eastern part of Germany to go to Poznan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Beforehand there will be two big demonstrations at coal plants on September the 13th.Diana reports from Australia: the organisers of the Walks against Warming (climate demonstrations all over Australia that saw over 100.000 people out in the streets at the last two events) have reported that they will join in on the GDA this year (last year the Walks against Warming happened two weeks before their national elections to push climate change up the election agenda and get rid of a climate unfriendly government –successfully!) and will start preparations for this event soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;At the moment they are getting their thinking caps on for how to make the Walks against Warming even bigger and more appealing this year.Fiona reports back from the UK: the three main campaign issues for groups in the UK are at the moment (1) Biofuels (CCC has just organised a public protest against the introduction of the RTFO -Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation - in the UK – working together with BiofuelWatch), (2) Aviation (together with Greenpeace UK, Hacan, NOTRAG and the 2M group CCC is organising a big rally against the plans for a third runaway at Heathrow Airport on 31st May) and (3) the building of new coal fired power plants (there is a proposal pending to build the first new coal plant in the UK for 30 years in Kingsnorth, Kent) For the GDA 2008 there are plans to bring all three of these issues together in a huge rally in London..Ben reports from GCAP: the Global Call against Poverty (GCAP) just recently started to work on climate change (they have focused more on development and poverty issues in the past) and make the connection between these two issues. They sent a small team to Bali and are now figuring out how to get involved and build alliances.Report back from Warsaw and Brussels meeting:Diana reports back from the Brussels meeting: on the 8th of March representatives from European groups from Belgium, France, Denmark, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Italy as well as representatives from Greenpeace International, FOE Europe and the European Green Party met to discuss their plans for the GDA 2008 and plans for the Copenhagen talks. It has been decided to meet again in Copenhagen this year in September before the ESF to discuss how the GDA can be expanded in Europe and the mobilisation in 2008 can build up to the next GDA in 2009 to ensure a huge mobilisation at the critical Copenhagen talks.Information about the upcoming meeting in Copenhagen will be distributed around the Global Climate e-mail list.The meeting in Warsaw initiated by Greenpeace Poland and CCC saw lots of energy coming from the Polish groups that attended the meeting to mobilise for this year’s GDA. The idea of a big rally followed by a concert was raised and the Polish climate alliance will follow up on that idea. The Polish groups will meet soon, both in Poznan and Warsaw, to build a steering group and discuss further details.Information about the mobilisation process in Poland will be distributed around the Global Climate e-mail list.Global Climate Campaign meetings in the build-up to the GDA 2008:Copenhagen meeting – see report back from the Brussels meeting aboveEvents we can use to promote the GDA 2008:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Global Greens meeting (1st-4th May): Fiona from CCC will attend and give a workshop about the Global Climate Campaign in cooperation with GCC colleagues from Nepal &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mini COP in Bonn (2nd-13th June): Christina and Mareike will be there; Greenpeace and FOE will have actions there.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G8 (5th-9th July): someone from CCC will probably attend, GCAP will be there and Greenpeace and FOE have local offices there that could be contacted to find out what Greenpeace Japan and FOE Japan are planning around climate and the G8&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major Emitters meeting (in July):Mini COP Ghana (in August): Ghana National CSO Youth Coalition just launched – Dylan will send out more information on the Global Campaign e-mail listESF (17th-21st September): Global Climate Campaign meeting in Copenhagen shortly before the ESF. CCC will organise workshops there and are looking for other organisations to work together to push the climate issue at the ESFGCC newsletter and collation of reports, photos, videos from GDA 2008:One idea at the Brussels meeting was to start a platform for exchanging news and ideas from different climate campaigns in Europe and around the world – Diana offered to start by using the news section of the Global Climate campaign webpage to put up news bits etc. and to develop this into a regular short e-mail update later in the year (depending on time capacity in the CCC office). So all climate campaigns are invited to send their recent updates, news etc… to info@globalclimatecampaign.org and Diana will put the info up on the GCC webpage. John mentioned that the GCC webpage gets 400-500 hits per day during the year and 4000-5000 hits per day in the run up for the GDA in November/December.Dylan reported from their plans in Canada to produce a YouTube video to promote the GDA 2008. They had a good experiences with this last year and he reckons that we could use also the video outside Canada and translate it into other languages. He asks for help with translation as well as video footage from the last GDA from around the world. Mareike mentions that GI is working with volunteer translators who may help with that.AOB:Ben points out that the 10th of December is the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights and suggests building up good links to human rights groups in the run-up to the GDA 2008.Next call:The next conference call will be on the 21st of May at 12 noon, GMT.&lt;br /&gt;Labels: &lt;a

Corsiva;color:#4a3328;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recent attacks on Eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei) in the mountains of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have put a spotlight on this gentle giant. The Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda are the only places left in the world where the Eastern gorilla survives today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1995, about 16,000 Eastern gorillas were estimated to wander the forests of Eastern Afromontane Biodiversity Hotspot and eastern edge of the Congo Basin High-Biodiversity Wilderness Area. Today, after a decade of losses, scientists are unsure how many remain. Throughout their range, populations have been reduced, fragmented, or completely lost as result of targeted poaching for bushmeat and deforestation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mountain gorillas are the most well-known of the Eastern gorillas. These distinct populations, numbering around 700 individuals, are a key tourist attraction and source of hope for fragile economies emerging from years of conflict in the region. They are an example of where humans and conservation can co-exist and benefit, even in an area with some of the highest densities of humans on the planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until the recent attacks, some populations were held up as a rare conservation success for Africa’s great apes. Some areas saw population numbers increase thanks to coordinated conservation efforts of the last decade. In DRC’s first community-run nature reserve, Tayna Gorilla Reserve, supported by CI and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, scientists reported larger than previously recorded populations, once feared to be at risk of extinction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story is far bleaker for its close relative, the Western gorilla (Gorilla gorilla), which has suffered even greater losses as a result of heavy commercial poaching and increasing Ebola outbreaks due to increased contact with humans. These threats have been driven by commercial logging which has increased access to populations that were once isolated. The IUCN now classifies the Western gorilla as Critically Endangered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1AMRA-8H2Ts/SBX6rLRvTBI/AAAAAAAAAho/Da7WKI1xAUU/s1600-h/158x100_gorilla_gallery.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194333364910246930" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1AMRA-8H2Ts/SBX6rLRvTBI/AAAAAAAAAho/Da7WKI1xAUU/s320/158x100_gorilla_gallery.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;WHAT: The Tayna Gorilla Reserve in Pictures&lt;br /&gt;CI is working with partners and local communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo to protect gorillas in the Tayna Gorilla Reserve.

There Are Two Species of Gorilla Alive Today.&lt;br /&gt;The Western gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) is found in the forests of west Africa, while the Eastern gorilla (Gorilla beringei) is found in the lowlands and mountains of central-Eastern Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both species are highly threatened by habitat loss and hunting, but the Western gorilla has been placed under greater risk from Ebola, which has killed humans and apes alike in some areas. The world-famous mountain gorillas that were studied by Dianne Fossey are considered by most experts to be a unique population of the Eastern gorilla.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;meio ambiente&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3740375072609633905-1456153946489519415?l=strassburger-org.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Strassburgerorg/~4/5D1I6b7FTJ0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://strassburger-org.blogspot.com/feeds/1456153946489519415/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3740375072609633905&amp;postID=1456153946489519415&amp;isPopup=true" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740375072609633905/posts/default/1456153946489519415?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3740375072609633905/posts/default/1456153946489519415?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Strassburgerorg/~3/5D1I6b7FTJ0/eastern-gorilla.html" title="Eastern Gorilla" /><author><name>JStrassburger</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02612734869525711336</uri><email>Strassburger.Org@hotmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="08689910007451784526" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1AMRA-8H2Ts/SBX6rLRvTBI/AAAAAAAAAho/Da7WKI1xAUU/s72-c/158x100_gorilla_gallery.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://strassburger-org.blogspot.com/2008/04/eastern-gorilla.html</feedburner:origLink></entry></feed>
