Environmental project | Green Circle of Lake Argyle

The afforestation of small areas of the desert as part of the Argyle Lake Green Circle project is a practical experience in creating a sustainable rainforest ecosystem in a semi-desert.

Now we live in incredibly responsible and important time, when the future of our planet is at strike. If the forests are destroyed at the same pace as now, people will not be able to breathe the same air, as there will simply not be enoudh of oxigen in it.

The rainforests, called "the lungs of the Earth", are steadily decreasing every year, and this threatens to cause an ecological catastrophe on a global scale. There is no doubt that life on Planet Earth will survive this catastrophe and continue to evolve. But humanity may no longer be part of this.

The main goal of Argyle Lake Green Ring is practical experience in restoring a sustainable tropical rainforest ecosystem in the desert. This is an opportunity to show the ability of a developed modern society to change the world for the better and create a favorable habitat for all living beings on earth. In conditions of increasing population and the impact of its life, it is important to take measures to ensure the protection and maintenance of biodiversity in the natural environment.

The second goal of the environmental project is to show that planting tropical trees in a hot desert can create a more humid climate change in the area. This will provide an increase in precipitation and reduce daily fluctuations in air temperature.

As a result of the changes in the microclimate, a year-round circulation of water should be formed. This will make today's streams and rivers flowing again full-flowingagain.

Desert Afforestation | Green Ring of LAke Argyle

The experience of this project will allow to answer the following questions:

1. Is the area of the created forest capable of self-healing, growth and development?

2. At what stage of the development of the project is the artificial forest able to change the microclimate of the area?

3. Is human activity of tens thouthands of years ago the cause of desertification of Australian continent? Is this a reversible process?

4. Whether people, as a species, are capable of creating conditions for the life of all existing species on earth?

Answers to these and other questions will allow to develop more ambitious programs to change the ecological situation on our planet and reduce the rate of global warming by afforestation.
