Afforestation and sustainable forest management benefit the economic damage caused by the destruction of the global environment and the consequent loss of species particularly changes amount to up to $ 4.5 trillion. The current study “The economics of ecosystems and biodiversity”, in their preparation for the United Nations Environment Programme, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) worked with Nations (UNEP) comes to this conclusion. The dependencies of the economic development of the biodiversity are varied. So, for example, insects by pollination of plants produce annually worth an estimated up to $190 billion. But as politics, society, and especially companies perceive hardly the economic importance of the environment.
Many companies have not yet realized, that the loss of biodiversity has a direct impact on supply, demand and hence costs, prices and yields of their products”, commented Barbara Wieler, senior sustainability services of PwC. The study on the costs due to environmental degradation and the income due to environmental protection can under be downloaded. Environmental destruction costs, environmental protection brings sustainable income: environmental degradation refers to the permanent destruction of the natural habitat. Companies that understand the conservation of biodiversity as a business task, can benefit economically from their commitment. The study shows that the protection of biodiversity in the future will gain enormous economic importance? So, it is predicted that trading volume will increase by five billion to 15 billion US dollars by 2020 with certified wood from sustainable forestry. Another growth area watch experts in emission trading: the reforestation of forests will bring up to the year 2020 possible revenues of more than $ 10 billion through the sale of CO2 certificates. Experts evaluate the deforestation of the rain forest as the most Umweltzerstorungs theme, because the rain forest for climate and species preservation of crucial importance is. So is the destruction of the rain forest over 20 percent responsible for climate change.
Also, it is estimated that nearly 75 percent of all plant and animal species in the rainforest live. The prevention of environmental degradation through rainforest preservation is so existentially important for humanity. Prevent with FSC certified reforestation environmental destruction: the Bonn ForestFinance group plants according to strict ecological guidelines Brach – and grazing areas in the tropics and cultivated this year evidenced by external bodies, environment-friendly and sustainable. The resulting forests are rich mixed forests, which offer a high degree of biological diversity as opposed to monocultures. Even after harvesting a species-rich forest remains, which meets all ecological functions, because never operated a complete demolition. This ecological forestry reducing the case pressure on the surviving rainforest, because it will increase the supply of tropical Woods. Rain forest and thus the destruction of the environment are prevented as sustainable. ForestFinance creates also through its sustainable forestry permanent jobs for the local population.
