– The scientific director of the WWF Italy Gianfranco Bologna comment with Tgcom24 the gloomy picture outlined in the report “Living Planet Report 2014 “drawn up by the right of the panda. The expert makes an appeal: “We must act!” It clears the UN summit on climate change, saying, “It was just blather.”
What is the trend that emerged from the report “Living Planet 2014 “?
” Negative. On the one hand decreases biodiversity, with a percentage of 52%, the other increases the ecological footprint, ie the weight of human intervention on natural resources. A decline in the richness of the variety of life forms to be counterbalanced by an increase of the increasingly strong human pressure. “
The freshwater fauna is what is worse, it is reduced by 72% …
“It ‘a phenomenon that is particularly evident in Latin America, but Italy is not immune. The more responsibility in our country come from the introduction of invasive species for the purposes of sport fishing. ”
What are the causes of this negative balance?
“The lifestyle. How we produce, how we consume. To make matters worse, there are estimates on demographic trends predict that by 2050 a world population of 9 billion and 600 million individuals.”
What kind of solutions you can adopt?
“We need to act, not stand idly by. We, as a movement we do the actions on the field by acting in harmony with local communities local “.
The UN summit on climate change remained at the level of declarations of intent …
“Let’s say it was blather, a proliferation of chatter. “
Ban Ki-moon said he needed funding …
” It ‘a cat chasing its tail. Funds can be found. to subsidize fossil fuels, namely oil, gas and coal will spend 544 billion globally well-dollars (data Overseas Development Institute, editor’s note). ”
What can Italy at the level of the nation?
“The first major public work of the beautiful country must be resettlement of the area, which also would provide employment implications . prevention There is a connection, but the soil is wealth more threatened. “
The single Italian, however, as it can act?
” By limiting the personal footprint on the planet., the report found that if all the inhabitants of the earth behave Italians, it would take 2.6 planets. Reducing the waste of energy and water is essential. Clearly, individual actions can not solve the problem in toto but affect change. ”
How can we protect the planet?
“You have to have the One Planet Perspective , the prospect of which there is only one planet. We can not act beyond the limits. E ‘in danger of human civilization, it is a paradox that the species that has defined itself sapiens sapiens is the cause of its own destruction. “
