🌍 🌱 When Mother Earth sends us a Message ❓Did you know, today 22 April is ‘International Mother Earth Day’.

Apr 22, 2023 | Latest News

 

Mother Earth is clearly urging a call to action. Nature is suffering. 

 

🌱🌳 The Great Out-tours are actively purveying 10 HOME lifestyle adjustments, that can help Mother Earth. We feature them throughout our National award-winning 'Four Seasons Activity Programme' of curricular themes. 

 

⚠️ We are highlighting:

 

🌊 Oceans filling with plastic and turning more acidic. 

 

🔥Extreme heat, wildfires and floods, have affected millions of people.

 

🦠 Even these days, we are still trying to get back on track from COVID-19, a worldwide health pandemic linked to the health of our ecosystem.

 

🌩️☀️ Climate change: Man-made changes to nature as well as crimes that disrupt biodiversity, such as deforestation, land-use change, intensified agriculture and livestock production or the growing illegal wildlife trade, can accelerate the speed of destruction of the planet.

 

 

  • 🌍 The planet is losing 4.7 million hectares of forests every year – an area larger than Denmark.

  • 🦠 A healthy ecosystem helps to protect us from these diseases. Biological diversity makes it difficult for pathogens to spread rapidly.

  • 🐯🌱 It is estimated that around one million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction.

 

📖 The positives❓

The healthier our ecosystems are, the healthier the planet - and its people. Restoring our damaged ecosystems will help to end poverty, combat climate change and prevent mass extinction. But we will only succeed if EVERYONE TAKES PART.
