Australian afforestation project
The main goal of this environmental project is a practical experience in restoring a sustainable rainforest ecosystem in the desert. Answers to these and other questions will allow us to develop larger-scale afforestation programs to change the ecological situation on our planet and global warming.
Now we live in an incredibly responsible and important time, when the future of our planet is at stake. If the forests are destroyed at the same pace as now, people will not be able to breathe air like now, as there will simply not be enough oxygen 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 it. The main goal of this environmental project 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 goal of the Argyle Lake Green Ring 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-flowing.
The experience of this project will allow to answer the following questions:
1. What is the area of the formed tropical forest capable of self-healing, growth and development?
2. At what stage of the project development can an artificial forest change the microclimate of the area?
3. Is human activity tens of thousands of years ago the reason for the desertification of the Australian continent? Is it a reversible process?
4. Are people as a species capable of creating conditions for the life of all species existing on earth?
Answers to these and other questions will allow us to develop more ambitious programs to change the environmental situation on our planet and reduce the rate of global warming.
