Не может Россиia сделать то же самое? I am very honoured and I very much appreciate the invitation from The Minister of Natural Resources and Environment for the Russian Federation Sergei Donskoy to attend this Eastern Economic Forum. As an international celebrity I am aware that I have a global audience and that my views are listened to, reported on and at times can be quite controversial.I recognize that there are scientists, journalists, scholars and politicians who are much more knowledgeable than I on many things but I also recognize that the value I have as a person in the spotlight and I take that responsibility head on - in my passion for compassion regarding all living things…Our modern media culture has given artists the platform to be influential communicators.This gives me the ability to be a voice on many issues.Issues like the diminishment of bio-diversity, climate change, pollution,the treatment of animals, the destruction of our forests and health issues associated with the decline in ecological integrity affecting this entire planet.I believe that our planet is in trouble. I believe that our oceans are dying.We are losing our coral reefs, we have removed over 50% of the living natural biomass from this planet since 1950. We have seen a 40% loss of plankton in the Ocean since 1950. Imagine if your economy diminished by 40-50%…We are also seeing a dangerous diminishment of bee populations around the world.We live in a world where economic priorities increasingly push ecological priorities aside. Yes the economy is important как зайти на марафон на айпаде, but it should never be more important than the life support system that sustains us all.Last month Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said “The last thing we want to do is strengthen the environment and at the same time damage our economy… to put the environment ahead of the economy.” This is a willfully- reckless and irresponsible statement- but not surprising from a world leader who has declared war on environmentalists. My own Prime Minister Stephen Harper shares Mr.Abbott’s views and these are views that will be condemned by future generations.The world needs leaders that represent the needs of future generations. I have children and therefore I am very concerned about the state of the world, decades into the future. It is evident that if we are to survive as a species upon this planet we must conduct ourselves within the boundaries of ecological law and specifically three very important ecological laws. The first is the law of diversity. An eco-system is dependent upon the diversity of species within it. The greater the diversity, the stronger the eco-system. When diversity is diminished eco-systems are diminished. The second law of ecology is the law of interdependence. All diversity within an eco-system is inter-dependent and this interdependence maintains the ecological integrity of the system. The third law of ecology is the law of finite growth. There is simply a finite limit to resources. This means a limit to carrying capacity. Increased human populations and increased consumption of resources literally steals the carrying capacity of other species. Thus increased human population growth and consumption of resources diminishes diversity and interdependence. Humans tend to think of ourselves as separate from nature. We tend to view ourselves as superior to all other species. This is an arrogant point of view that simply has no place in reality. I have come to address this forum today because I believe there is a need for stronger leadership that recognizes that the ecological systems that sustain us must be managed with broader intelligence and vision. I believe that President Vladimir Putin understands the importance of interdependence. His recent public concerns about bees being threatened by industrial chemicals is an example of his ecological insights. President Putin knows that if the bees disappear there will be severe consequences for agriculture and therefore he understands that the preservation of bees must take precedence over the profits of a chemical company like Monsanto. Unfortunately many of the world’s economic systems place short-term profits before long-term human, animal or ecological interests. What, for example, is the value of a whale? If harpooned, it is cut up into meat and consumed with a limited market and a finite price. A whale is killed and money is made by a very few. But there is a far more important value to a whale that benefits all of us. As I said earlier since 1950 we have lost 40% of our plankton population as well as about 90% of the fish biomass. The ocean has been severely diminished. During the 20 th Century millions of whales were removed from oceanic eco-systems. One species the largest mammal to have ever lived, the Blue whale, was driven to the brink of extinction. More than 300,000 of these incredible animals were slaughtered. The meat was sold and consumed and the money has been spent. But consider the real value of those whales, if they had been allowed to live. Everyday a Blue whale defecates about three tons of nitrogen and iron rich fecal material. This is not waste, it is essential food for plankton. The Blue whale literally fertilizes the pastures of plankton upon which it feeds and that plankton is the foundation of the entire food chain of the sea. Additionally it is one of the planet’s most prolific producers of oxygen. The whales need plankton. Fish need plankton and humans need plankton. Removing whales from marine eco-systems means removing the primary source of plankton fertilization. A living whale benefits all of humanity. A dead whale benefits only a few individuals. In many ways it is like killing the goose that lays the golden egg. No goose no egg, in other words игровые автоматы онлайн бесплатно демо 2000 лет, no whales means diminishment of iron and less iron means a diminishment of plankton. And - less plankton means less oxygen. For millions of years, completely independent of humanity, oceanic ecosystems have been kept in balance by the interdependence of the diversity of species within these eco-systems. A species takes, and a species gives, and it is this ‘give and take’ that keeps ecological systems running. Within the last few centuries humans have taken from the sea and returned nothing of value except chemicals, plastics букмекерские конторы как делать ставки, oil балтбет санкт петербург цена, noise pollution, acidity and radiation. As a result life in our ocean has been seriously diminished since 1945 and this diminishment continues at an ever-increasing and alarming rate. Too many people and not enough fish. So… How do we replenish this system?We need to call a moratorium on all industrialized fishing operations. We need to give time for the fish to replenish their numbers and we need to encourage the growth in population of apex predators like, sharks,marine mammals and seabirds. Sharks, whales, dolphins, seals and seabirds contribute to the system within which they evolved, all interdependently producing and recycling nutrients. As strange as it might seem the fact is that the more seals, dolphins, sharks and whales,the healthier the fish populations. This can be seen historically. When marine mammal and shark populations were much higher than today, there was no shortage of fish. The agent of diminishment is the predations of humanity and not the species that have maintained the system for millenniums. We must stop being takers of resources from the sea and we must make the effort to replenish bio-diversity. Government subsidies to industrialized fishing operations must end. Yes this will create some economic challenges- but by continuing on the present course of subsidies, as well as massive extraction of fish will only lead to greater ecological challenges and that will certainly lead to economic collapse. What we have here is this thing called “the tragedy of the commons.” A country may realize that their actions are destructive to the environment but they also know that if they desist from exploitation that other countries will simply continue to exploit the resources. An example in my own country. The cod fishery collapsed in 1992. Despite this crash various nations continued to exploit cod just outside Canada’s economic territory. One country knew that if they stopped fishing, that another country would simply take their quota. What we need is a nation to lead and to say enough is enough and that decisions must be made based on ecological realities and not just economic realities. Russia is not a stranger to this kind of thinking. In 1962, Premier Nikita Khrushchev made the rational and correct decision to avoid nuclear war. He chose the path of sanity over national pride and if not for his decision perhaps none of us would be here today. We also must understand that we share this planet with other species. We need them, for humanity is not a biological island unto itself. We are interdependent with all the other citizen species of the planet. We not only need these species, we can also learn from them. As various societies spend great amounts of money on a search for extraterrestrial intelligences we have all but ignored the possibility of communicating with intelligent species on this planet. Many animals like the great apes, cetaceans and elephants for example have demonstrated that they are self-aware beings capable of emotions and thoughts. In our arrogance we have steadfastly ignored the possibility that they may have something to say. We measure intelligence by the ability to manipulate tools. We are a toolmaking species. I believe however that there are non-manipulative forms of intelligence. Cetaceans have large complex brains and a complex form of communication between themselves. Apes have learned sign language,elephants have been observed displaying empathy and a comprehension of life and death. But instead of learning from these magnificent creatures, we kill them and capture them for our amusement. Humanity needs a great nation with the vision to look into the future and to see that we need to share our world with these other species. We need leadership to restore the ecological balance and we need leadership to guide us to evolve into more compassionate beings ourselves. Russia could easily win the hearts and minds of tens of millions of people worldwide by becoming a nation that addresses ecological realities with positive actions and a nation that recognizes the rights of ecological value of animals. India has declared dolphins to be non-human ‘persons’. Cannot Russia do the same? I would like to humbly request that Russia free dolphins from captivity and abolish the killing of whales and dolphins. I would also like to humbly request that Russia oppose the trade of whale and dolphin products, ivory and endangered wildlife products from transiting by air,land or sea through Russian territory. Such a move would warm the hearts of tens of millions of people throughout the world. This may not be easy but I firmly believe it is essential for the survival of diversity, interdependence and maintaining finite resources. My wish is that we find a way to unite economics with ecology in an system where the economy is organized to benefit natural eco-systems. A healthy eco-systems maintain a viable economy. Like the “Moon Race” of the 60’s 1xbet актуальное зеркало, who will win the “EARTH race”? Which Nation will be brave enough and forward thinking enough to go first? Address to the Eastern Economic Forum. В результате жизнь в нашем океане была серьезно разорванна и уменьшенна с 1945 года, и это продолжается уменьшается с тревожно возрастающей скоростью. Слишком много людей и недостаточно рыбы. Это не может быть легко, но я твердо верю, что это важно для выживания экосистемы, будущего существования человечества букмекерская контора онлайн париматч, и поддержания ограниченных ресурсов. Люди склонны думать о себе, как вид отдельный от природы. Мы склонны превозносить себя выше всех других видов. Это высокомерная точка зрения игровые автоматы незаконные, которой нет места в реальности. Для меня это большая честь, и я очень ценю приглашение от министра природных ресурсов и охраны окружающей среды Российской Федирации Сергея Донского посетить этот экономический форум. Каждый день Синий кит производит около трех тонн азота и железа, это богатый фекальный материал. Это не отходы, это важное питание для планктона. Голубой кит буквально оплодотворяет пастбища планктона, на которых он питается, а планктон является основой всей пищевой цепи моря. Кроме того, аланктон является одним из самых плодовитых производителей кислорода для планеты. Мы также должны понимать, что мы разделяем эту планету с другими видами животных, растений и бактерий. Мы обязанны им, человечество не является центром биологического островa. Мы взаимозависимы со всеми другими видами населяющими эту планету. Как изестный человек, я знаю что у меня огромная аудитория, и что мои взгляды слушают и обсуждают, порой они могут быть весьма спорными. Я признаю, что есть ученные, журналисты и политики, которые осведомленны больше чем я, но, я так же признаю фильм марафон полная версия, что нахожусь в центре внимания и я принимаю эту ответственность в моем сострадании в отношении всех живых существ. Это увеличение роста человеческой популяции и потребления ресурсов уменьшает разнообразие и взаимозависимость. Я считаю, что наша планета находится в беде. Я считаю, что наши океаны гибнут. Мы теряем наши коралловые рифы, мы уничтожили более 50% живой природной биомассы этой планеты с 1950 года. Мы видели потерю 40% планктона в океане с 1950 года. Представьте себе, если ваша экономика уменьшится на 40-50%. Это умышленно - безрассудное и безответственное заявление- online lotto play скачать, но не удивительно, от мирового лидера букмекерская контора бетсити казань, который объявил войну экологам. Мой собственный премьер-министр Канады Стивен Харпер разделяет мнение господина Аботта и его взгляды, которые будут осуждены будущими поколениями. 12 Lb Vermont Ground Beef Burger Tofu, cannellini beans, portabella, basmati rice, cilantro lime mayo, leaf lettuce, tomato, onion
