Did you know that we are currently losing 12 million hectares
of arable land every year due to desertification? This is about 23 hectares per
minute! And 30% of all world's agricultural land is already highly
degraded… where will we get the food to
feed the growing population? Our planet will soon be home to 9 billion people,
and providing enough food and vital resources for all will be a great challenge
for our generation.
Dams and man-made lakes are some of the main reasons for land
degradation in fragile alluvium ecosystems. As the river continues to bring the
same amount of dispensed sediments (same as before it was dammed), the mad
starts to accumulate at the bottom of the reservoir. With time, this problem
gets worse and worse - reducing the amount of available fresh water and hydropower.
Namely more than 42% of the world’s dams face siltation problems in the next
decade, with an estimated cost of siltation at over $21 billion per year.
Afforest4Future has a system design that will tackle exactly
these issues. It was developed during four years of doctoral research at TU
Wien done by one of founders of Afforest4Future, Vesela Tanaskovic. They offer
an holistic approach to solve one of humanity’s burning issues.
Their patent-pending methodology desilts desert lakes
and prolongs their life cycle and efficiency whilst utilising the by-product to
produce fertile soil from desert sand and rock. Sounds awesome, isn't it? They excavate the silt that
is endangering the dam, and transport it to a processing facility, where it is
treated and further pumped into desert. Like that, new soil is created and
locked in with multiple species, enhancing the biodiversity in our agroforestry
system.
They are now running a KATANA Fundraising Campaign to run a
small pilot project and generate awareness of the these issues. Their dream is
to make the world’s deserts green and ready to welcome exceptional population
growth - so there's little to no time left. They need to implement this as soon
as possible.
You can support them with EU10, EU30 or even EU900 for a full
ski week. After all, we won't have any more snow if we don't stop climate
change soon. This is cool, smart and can really make an impact. Don't think it
twice - spread your love for trees and support Afforest for Future in this
green adventure.

Very interesting pilot project.
ReplyDeleteBut I think they should approach the local Government first, before going for public fund-raising. That will authenticated their claim.
