 Prince Charles Windsor: Protests against deforestation
On Wednesday Britain's Prince Charles Windsor has given a call to the people of the entire world to act with a "sense of wartime urgency" for the conservation of the rainforests. He has warned them they were all "umbilically connected" to the phenomenon of climate change.
To be specific, Prince Charles Windsor told that rainforests "are the world's lifebelt", thereby acting as the "world's air conditioning system" and also helping in the storage of the largest body of flowing water on the planet.
According to him, preventing deforestation was occurring at the rate of about a football pitch every four seconds. In fact it was the most cost-effective way of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, the main cause of global warming.
"We must mobilise ourselves, indeed the whole world, with that real sense of wartime urgency and resolve to act together," added Prince.
Prince Charles Windsor founded the Rainforest Project, a charitable foundation that was established in the year 2007 for highlighting the value of the world's rainforests and also trying to find solutions to deforestation.
He is a dedicated environmental campaigner, though his views have sometimes got him into hot water. Especially last month he said that genetically modified food could be the "biggest disaster environmentally of all time".
Des Turner, the deputy who heads the House of Commons' science committee, condemned the remarks by bringing about the comparison of the prince to the Luddites, a nineteenth century English group of textile workers who brought out protest against mechanization. |
