Bøger om Environment

This book discusses how as humans we can help promote biodiversity and strive for ecological stability through reduced mammal hunting and by maintaining food networks with carnivores at the top of the food chains. Unfortunately, this opportunity has not been utilized. The reason for this is mainly that the hunters' interest organizations have great political power. From being a necessity to provide food, hunting has become a callous hobby or cultural psychopathy. This is in contrast to the fact that only a small minority of the population hunts.The author Stig Nordskilde is a Danish lawyer who has argued for maintaining ecosystems with great biodiversity and against hunters who destroy food networks by killing carnivores and herbivores. He has studied mammalian behaviour in particular, and photographed these in the northern hemisphere, including in Alaska, the Yukon, Greenland, Svalbard, and Scandinavia.

At last we have a plan that outlines goals for the future of the world, something more challenging than landing on the Moon. The UN has laid down the tracks for a sustainable future for the Earth; now we are acting together.In 2015, 17 goals were declared, but unfortunately not so many people know about them. This is crucial knowledge, so I have made this book about them for everyone, not least school pupils.I have composed fable verses combined with pictures, so the goals can be understood and remembered. People remember best when they see pictures, so I have painted the accompanying watercolours - and rhymes also make things easier to remember...Homi Kharas from the Brooking Institution says: "We have a common framework that coordinates our various areas of development, like security, environment, human rights and humanitarian aid. Our global goals unify them all. It can lead to great change." It is not good enough that they are acknowledged politically, they have to be widely known and acted on by ordinary people! Such ideas connected with our common global goals should be shared.
