We believe that 1.4 meter of sea level rise 480,000 people 100year the risk of flooding, because the current population. Among the stakeholders are many people and lowincome communities of color who are particularly vulnerable. A large number of critical infrastructure such as roads, hospitals, schools, first-aid facilities, sewage treatment plants, power plants, and is also an increased risk of flooding, as well as large areas of wetlands and other natural ecosystems. In addition, the cost of replacing property at risk of coastal areas under this scenario, Sealevel rise to nearly $ 100 billion (2000 dollars). A number of structural and nonstructural strategies and measures can be implemented to reduce these risks. For example, we assume that some vulnerable areas to protect against flooding by building dams and dikes will cost at least $ 14 billion (in 2000 dollars), additional costs for maintenance over $ 1.4 billion per year. Continuing development in areas at risk, other areas of risk and protection costs. Much of the Pacific coast are not vulnerable to flooding, but they are very vulnerable to erosion. We believe that the rise in sea level of 1.4 meters is to accelerate erosion, leading to a loss of 41 square miles (over 26,000 hectares), the California coast in 2100. In total, 14,000 people are currently living in the region at risk of erosion. In addition, significant infrastructure and transportationrelated are susceptible to erosion. Country areas of risk management on erosion risks, but in some countries and communities, coastal erosion is a greater risk. This report provides a series of recommendations and strategies for adapting to sea level rise.

Forests are a source of drugs
Some bags of people worldwide on the curative properties of the forest for centuries and perhaps longer. But since the Second World War began the modern world to take note of the drug and dozens of companies working with the protectors of nature, local groups and governments to identify and catalog plants synthesize forests for their medicinal value.

Forest plant life-saving drugs
Nearly 120 drugs in the world today are directly from forest plants. And after the United States National Cancer Institute, more than two thirds of all medicines found to have properties against cancer of the forest plants. There are examples. And ingredients derived from a synthesis now extinct plant still green, only in Madagascar (deforestation destroys itself), the chances of survival for children with leukemia from 20% to 80%.

Some links in the forest are also to treat malaria, heart disease, bronchitis, hypertension, rheumatism, diabetes, muscle tension, arthritis, glaucoma, dysentery and tuberculosis, among other problems health. And many in the trade of anesthesia, enzymes, hormones, laxatives, cough mixtures, antibiotics and antiseptics are also of forest plants and herbs.

The untapped potential of the forest medicines
Despite these successes, less than one percent of the plants in the world of tropical rainforests have also been tested for their curative effect. Environmentalists and health advocates are also very interested in the protection of the rain in the world remaining forests as a store for medicines of the future.

The issue of preservation of forests
Saving tropical forests but is not an easy task, because the poverty-stricken indigenous trying to live a eke countries and many governments around the world as the equatorial regions, greed and economic desperation, destructive to cattle of ranching, agriculture and logging. In the forest to the farm, ranch and clear the forest some 137 species of plants and animals go extinct, too-every day, at Harvard, noted biologist, Edward O. Wilson. Environmentalists fear that the forest species, many potential therapeutic products for diseases.

What can you save forests – and lives
You can use your hand to save the rainforest in the world by observing and supporting the work of organizations like Rainforest Alliance, Rainforest Action Network, Conservation International and The Nature Conservancy, and using links on sites such as The Rainforest Site, Red Jellyfish and Care2, the funds for organizations working in the field, the forest for the country.

The importance of Greenbelts in Urban Areas
Greenbelts in and around urban areas are probably not all lives, but they are still important for the ecological health of the region. The different plants and trees used in Greenbelt organic sponges for various forms of environmental pollution, and as a storage of carbon dioxide to offset global warming.

“Trees are an important part of the infrastructure of the city,” said Gary Moll of American Forests. Because of the many benefits that trees in cities, Moll happy as the “ultimate urban multi-taskers.”

Urban Greenbelts links to nature
Greenbelts are also important, urban feel to nature. Dr. SC Sharma of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research of India is of the opinion that all cities should “means those sectors for the development of Greenbelts [to] bring life and color to the concrete jungle , and [has] a safe environment for the urbanites. ”

Greenbelts contribute to the spread of the
Greenbelts, is also important in efforts to limit urban sprawl, the tendency for cities to disseminate and access to rural areas and habitats of wild animals. Three states of the United States Oregon, Tennessee, Washington and its biggest cities to the “limits of urban growth” to limit urban sprawl by creating the Greenbelts. In the meantime, the cities of Minneapolis, Virginia Beach, Miami and Anchorage have urban growth boundaries on their own. In California, the Bay Area, non-profit Greenbelt Alliance has successfully lobbying for the creation of 21 urban growth in four border districts around the city of San Francisco.

Greenbelts for the world
The concept also in Canada, with the cities of Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver adoption of mandates for the creation of Greenbelts the fight against urban sprawl. Urban Greenbelts are also found in and around major cities in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Greenbelts are Essential for peace in the world?
The concept of green belt is also in rural areas, for example in East Africa. Women in information and environmental activist Wangari Maathai, Green Belt Movement in Kenya in 1977 as the basis of the program of tree planting to meet the challenges of deforestation, erosion soils and water shortages in their country of origin. Until now, his organization still planting 40 million trees in Africa.

In 2004, Maathai was the first environmental protection with the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize. Why peace? “It can not be peace without equitable development and there can be no development without sustainable management of the environment in a democratic and peaceful space research,” Maathai said in his Nobel speech.

As climate change affects Wildlife
The main effects of global warming on wildlife is habitat displacement, ecosystems, animals that have millions of years to adapt to the rapid transition. Ice, to bear in the water of life is just one example.

Another, after the Washington Post, is the possibility that warmer spring temperatures could dry up critical breeding habitat for waterfowl in the prairie pothole, a piece of land between the North and Central America , Iowa Alberta.

The animals concerned people may move to new premises and its expansion. But at the same time the growth of human population means that a lot of land, the nature of such “refugee Wild Life” are already taken, and housing and industrial development. A recent report by the Pew Center for Global Climate Change, the establishment of “transitional period of life” or “corridors” to help the migration through the links of natural species that otherwise separated by human settlement.

Shifting Life Cycles and Climate Change
In addition, the expulsion of life, many scientists agree that global warming leads to a postponement of the date of the various natural cyclical events in the lives of animals. Many birds have a long time to migratory and reproductive routines to better sync with global warming. And some animals ensures the termination of their slumbers earlier each year, perhaps due to warmer temperatures of spring.

The worst of all, current research contradicts the long held by the hypothesis that different types of side by side in an ecosystem respond to global warming as an entity. Instead, as the exchange of different types of habitat meet fashion Tearing Apart from ecological communities in the manufacture of thousands of years.

Effects of climate change on animals, humans
And, like animals separate paths, men may also impact. A World Wildlife Fund study found that a flight from northern United States into Canada of certain types of Warbler led to a spread of beetle Latschenkiefer, destroy economically productive balsam fir trees. Similarly, a northward migration of caterpillars in the Netherlands, the opportunities are few forests.

Which animals are most affected by the consequences of global warming?
According to the defenders of the Wild Life, some of the species most affected by the warming of the planet are caribou (reindeer), arctic foxes, toads, polar bears, penguins, gray wolves, tree swallows, painted turtles and salmon. The group fears that unless we took decisive steps to global warming more and more species of wildlife populations pushed to the brink of extinction in a changing environment.
