As a conclusion of these pieces of work, where I gave my opinion and some ideas. We have to consider that we are not more important than other species, the deserve of living should be the same one for all; but most of the times we thing that the world belongs to us and is totally the opposite, we belong to it as any other. We build a deal with a natural resource, and it's unfair because we make benefits from something that is free for everyone, one of the biggest example is the water. Here you have a video about it:
We need to protect our world, our environment, because even though about what we believe after death, it is the only place that we can be sure about and also is our only home. In our way, we have to try to keep this save and in balance, more than for us, for our children, the ones that don't deserve the consequence of our actions.
In conservation not everything is keeping all the species save without any damage, sometimes for the safety of few one need too die or at least get reduced. An are invasive species, one of the single largest threats to our nation's natural resources, as a consequence these are the effects cause if we not reduce the quantity of them:
- Decrease biodiversity
- Put endangered and threatened species at further risk. In fact, invasive species are the second leading cause of animal population decline and extinction worldwide
- Displace native plants that wildlife and fish depend on for food
- Increase soil erosion and can cause major damage to streams and other wetland areas that provide habitat for native fish, plants, and animals
- Increase the frequency and risk of wildfires
- Reduce agricultural production and property values.
Here in Aberdeen we (the conservation society) have been volunteering in an craft of invasive gorse at Scotstown, if we would let this plant continue growing, most of the other plants of this Natural Park would be there. Also, imaging the importance of this that, according to the rangers, right after the finish reducing this plants the have to start again because is already grown at the start point.
We have to produce what we spend, and the jungle is not a wood fabric.
Jane Goodall went to the middle of the jungle for a research, and staying there she realized that chimpanzees were able to build instruments. Until that moment, a definition of human was the only living the with the capacity of building instruments, so we should consider the chimpanzee as another human.
From that moment Jane started a project to protect the chimpanzees and research about of them. The most important one would be the Jane Goodall Institute in Congo. A chain of consequences start from the wood companies that go to the jungles for trees, apart of al the damage that they cause they also make a track which is not fixed after, so this is like an unhealed wound. Poachers use the track to get into the center of the jungle where they can hunt chimpanzees ( apparently the are like caviar for african people). But what happen when this chimpanzee has a baby, well the can even burn them just to rip off them from the dead body of their mum.
This institute look after all of this chimpas whose liberty has been stolen from and little by little introduce them in to the free jungle again. They also have projects to plant new trees in those track to prevent the poachers going again.
Nowadays, even though we don't want to or don't notice it, our education is meant to become us in producers and consumers. Trying t get the best marks, the best job, better future. Although, we forget one of the most important thing in this life: how to be a person, have our ethics, develop our natural skills.
Waldorf pedagogy distinguishes three broad stages in child development. The early years education focuses on providing practical, hands-on activities and environments that encourage creative play. In the elementary school, the emphasis is on developing pupils' artistic expression and social capacities, foresting both creative and analytical modes of understanding. Secondary education focuses on developing both critical and empathetic understandings of the world through the study of maths, arts, sciences, humanities and world languages. Throughout, the approach stresses the role of the imagination in learning and places a strong value on integrating, intellectual, practical, and artistic activities across the curriculum rather than learning each academic discipline as a separate concern.
Apart from the creativity skills in this way of learning, the thing that I'm most interested in is in how they teach, since the pupils are children, to use the basic and natural materials as tools. How to convert simple wool in an scarf, grow your own vegetables from the seeds that you have been given.
Milk doesn't come from the fridge, this is what we must teach to the modern children, to don't lose all these basic stuff that were normal for our grandparents and now look like an exotic thing.
