¡Taking Care Of Our Environment!

There are many organizations worldwide who are responsible for caring for the environment, it is our home and we need to care, because in the not too distant future we'll need it!

 

Natural heritage of a country is one of the most important components of their wealth. The world natural heritage composed of energy resources, minerals, timber, non-timber forest, cropland, pasture and natural protected areas, representing at least 18% of the wealth in the world.1 Because of its importance to the country's development and collective welfare, it is essential to know the initiatives and organizations in which civic engagement is reflected in a large number of citizens in favor of the environment.

IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).

IUCN activity is mainly focused on the conservation of biodiversity, which means curbing the disappearance of animal and plant species and the destruction of natural environments. Climate change, energy, livelihoods and the economy are the four great challenges facing humanity in close relation to biodiversity. All these factors have an impact on the environment and the latter, in turn, also affects the former. None of these challenges can be overcome without actively addressing in particular the issue of nature and biodiversity.

Helping Planet

¡We Are Destroying Our Planet... We Need To Help It!

 

 

"The world is saved if everyone does their part".

Have you wondered: ¿What would become of us without Water?

This issue before us today is an issue that every day holds the attention of scientists, technicians, and politicians in general, many of the world's inhabitants.

The scarcity of this vital fluid forces reiterating a call for moderation of consumption by the population worldwide, without whose technical cooperation efforts undertaken some organizations would be insufficient.

Only very little water is used for human consumption as: 90% is seawater and have salt, 2% is ice in the poles, and only 1% of all water on the planet is sweet , found in rivers, lakes and underground aquifers. Besides water as found in nature, to be used without risk to human consumption needs to be treated, to remove particles and organisms that may be harmful to health. And finally be distributed through pipes to your house, so you can consume it without any problem or risk.

 

"The source of life, ¿Destroy it? ...Take care of the water, life depends on it".

 

Water is essential to life. Most of the body of living organisms is composed of water. On earth, is very abundant, covering almost 3/4 of its surface. However, only 3% is fresh and of that percentage, a small proportion may be drinkable. Therefore it is very important that everyone take care and avoid wasting it.

 

Due to human population growth and other factors, the availability of drinking water per person is declining. This problem could be solved by getting more water, distributing it better or less wasting it.

Water is a strategic resource for many countries. They have fought many wars, as the Six Day War in the Middle East, in order to gain better access to water. It is expected more such problems in the future by the growing human population, pollution and global warming.

 

 

"The water is not inexhaustible, if we waste today, tomorrow may be too late".
