The 76th Rain Forest site - "Everything is Connected"

Natives have traditionally located their communities near water bodies for access to wild foods; so here is an example of the age-old Alaska native wisdom that "everything is connected". Permafrost is melting all over Alaska as a result of rising temperatures, causing land underneath many villages to subside and softening the soil on riverbanks like the mighty Yukon River. The vast amount of soil taken into the river causes river depths decrease making the water warmer than in the past, causing further stress to the fish during the breeding season. It may come to the stage that salmon numbers will dramatically decrease within the foreseeable future. This in turn will affect the food available for bears, land otters, eagles and people.

There should be no doubt in anyones mind that this is a very serious danger to the planet - our home in the universe.

In addition, plans are being made to install a 5000 mile gas pipeline through the South American rain forest. That will seriously affect the air we breath.
