Global Warming and Climatic Changes

Climatic stability is the most reliable insurance for water availability, plant productivity, forest maintenance, cropping patterns, species dominance, vegetation patterns, etc.  As all living creatures depend on plants for their existence, and plants depend on the climate in the specific regions where they exist, climatic changes will alter vegetative life setting off a chain reaction which would alter the life of the creatures that depend on it.  The whole ecologic equilibrium of the earth would be lost, destroying the delicate fabric of life in every form, including that of the humans.  Global warming is the prime culprit in the imminent climatic instability.

Global warming is the rise in global temperature due to deforestation, industrial emissions, usage of fossil fuels, CFC, etc, profusion of man-made structures replacing vegetation and over-exploitation of natural resources.  The depletion of ozone layer due to the above mentioned human atrocities increases the incidence of ultra-violet and other harmful radiations which, in turn, causes temperature rise all over the earth.  As the temperature rises the ice caps at the poles begins to melt in large quantities, filling the oceans and making the sea water inundate low-lying land areas  and causing climatic changes that would jeopardise the fragile ecological equilibrium of the remaining pockets of pristine eco-systems on the earth.

The Foundation fights industrial pollution, over-consumerism, over-exploitation of natural resources, deforestation, etc., to help keep global warming in check and thus decrease the speed of climatic changes.

Other Environment Issues
The Foundation works for proper management and treatment of industrial effluents, minimising the harm caused to the environment, through awareness programmes among the general public and direct actions that would force the authorities to take corrective and punitive measures.  It campaigns against the accumulation of plastic waste materials, deforestation, activities causing soil erosion and such other related attacks on the environment.

The Foundation takes up detailed studies of endangered species, eco-systems, etc. that are on the brink of extinction and concrete steps for the stoppage of such assaults and for the restoration of such eco-systems are formulated and publicised so that direct intervention steps may be taken in collaboration with like-minded individuals, institutions and organizations.  Dedicated experts are employed to restore the nearly-extinct plant species and dependent animal/insect species simultaneously so that they may be able to grow and reproduce interdependently.  The genes of the highly endangered species are preserved for future regeneration with the help of scientific personnel and sophisticated equipments.

Efforts are also made to study and teach the possibilities of producing energy using the natural resources through non-conventional methods. Micro Hydro electric projects, wind mills, solar collectors, wave energy equipments and such other non-conventional energy sources are tapped using the latest know-how.
