Earth's 'Hot New Look' brought to you by global warming. A burning makeover we can't afford! 🌍🔥

Changes such as deforestation, and industrialization, alter our environment. An example is this story which was inspired by real events. These are called migratory birds who normally swarm to find a partner or due to weather changes.

However, this became a problem for hundreds of thousands of these birds live in electric wires instead of trees and have been dropping poops on streets and people who passed by for almost a decade now. Batangas is one of the cities experiencing this common phenomenon. Hopefully, with this small platform will be able to reach those people with the capability to develop an action plan to correct misconceptions, protect these birds, and benefit from their regular appearances.

Sometimes, building homes affects others' homes.

According to Toner buzz. com, "31% of the earth’s surface is covered by forests, Only 18% of the world's forests are on land protected from deforestation." Forests from time to time are disappearing at an alarming rate.

Earth's land is a habitat for all living things and all should have an equal chance of having it as a home. As much as people have an advantage when it comes to machineries, technology and mobility to retain a homeland, animals as well are in need of their habitat and in a long run they opt to protect it as well.

The earth’s future depends on one's compassion towards another. Let's make Earth a home for all living things - nobody should get left behind.

What’s up with Sierra Madre?

Sierra Madre is Luzon's mighty backbone, shielding against typhoons. The Philippines' longest mountain range, boasting the largest rainforest, teeming with diverse flora and fauna. It's a crucial watershed for agriculture, an ancestral domain for the Agta-Dumagat-Remontado indigenous group, yet facing imminent threats.

Despite environmental laws and conservation efforts, Sierra Madre is endangered by human activities like illegal logging, mining, and the looming specter of the Kaliwa Dam's construction. We must act to protect this precious gem.

Plastic waste is a common problem on shorelines and coastal communities in the Philippines. Among the key factors contributing to this problem are our sachet economy, which chokes the Philippines' seas, and the ineffective implementation of existing solid waste management plans. The Philippines had the largest share of global plastic waste discarded in the ocean in 2019.

If we do not act now, our coasts and oceans will be filled with plastic trash. You too can make a difference. Let us use our voices to advocate for a cleaner environment.

Tanda mo pa ba ang tula na pinamagatang “Trees”, kung saan sinabing walang papantay na ganda ng tula sa ganda ng mga puno? Pero paano makikilala ang mga kapunuan natin kung patuloy naman ang pagkakalbo sa mga kabundukan dahil sa illegal logging at iba pang mga nakasisirang aktibidad?

Ayon sa Global Forest Watch, sa Pilipinas mula 2001 hanggang 2022, nasa 1.42 million hectares na ng tree cover ang nawala. Noong 2021, tinatayang nasa 23.24% ng total land area ng Pilipinas ang forest area, o nasa 7.27 million hectares. Ngunit ang forest covers na ito ay laging may kinakaharap na mga pagsubok at mga banta.

Ang mga banta o threat sa ating mga forest cover ay ang urban construction o mga pagtatayo ng mga kalsada, power plants, o maging mga tirahan sa kabundukan, agriculture o ang pagtatanim at pag-aani ng mga crops, pagtatayo ng mga farms at rancho, at ang paggamit ng method na slash and burn o kaingin, fuel generation sa pamamagitan ng pagputol ng mga kahoy para sa charcoal at firewood, at ang illegal logging o ang walang habas at hindi sustainable na pagputol ng mga puno upang kahuyin.

Sa kabila ng mga batas tulad ng Presidential Decree No. 705, Series of 1975 o ang Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines at Republic Act no. 3701 o “An Act to Discourage Destruction of Forests” na pumoprotekta sa ating mga kabundukan at mga kakahuyan mula sa exploitation at pagkasira nito, hindi pa din ligtas ang ating mga kabundukan, kakahuyan, at mga kagubatan sa pagkasira. Ang epekto ng patuloy na pagkasira ng mga natural resources na ito ay maaaring magdulot ng erosion o pagguho ng lupa, flooding and drought of pagbaha at tagtuyot, amplification of the effects of climate change o paglala ng epekto ng climate change, at loss of biodiversity o ang pagkawala ng pagkakaiba-iba ng mga buhay-ilang sa ating lugar.

Ilan sa ating mga magagawa para mapigilan ang panaghoy ni Inang Kabundukan ay ang pakikiisa sa mga tree planting activities na naglalayong magtanim ng mga native at indigenous tree species sa ating mga kabundukan, ang pakikibahagi sa pagla-lobby ng mga bago at mas matapang na mga batas para sa proteksyon ng kalikasan, at ang pakikiisa sa mga kampaya ng mga organisasyong naglalayon na maprotektahan ang ating mga likas-yaman.
