The modern human society continues to behave as if there are no long-term consequences of transforming the biosphere, or as if we are not connected to nature’s life-support systems.
For millennia, nature specifically living systems provided food and fiber to nourish and clothe us
and materials to build us homes and transport. They conditioned the air we breathe, regulated the global water cycle, and created the soil that sustained our developing agriculture. They decomposed and absorbed our wastes. Beyond practicality, nature fed the human spirit.
But pressure on nature from the impact of about 7.8 billion people is taking its toll. Nature worldwide is collapsing. Changes in Earth’s biota caused by human actions range from indirect depletion caused by altering Earth’s physical and chemical environment to direct depletion of human and nonhuman life.
The human condition has, of course, been the subject of intellectual and practical concern since civilization began. But economic and political changes during the industrial revolution moved humans away from their ties to the land. Technology and trade liberated people from concerns about life-support systems,
lessons of the past especially accumulated knowledge about connections to living systems seemed increasingly irrelevant.
Uganda has lost over about 5 million hectares of forest cover throughout the country since the 90s where forests are being given to investors on a silver plate and destroyed for factories and other economical benefits.
Uganda has mostly a tropical climate characterized by stable rainfall patterns. However, the effects of climate change has turned up the seasons around making the country to experience long or short rains and harsh droughts.
Our objectives are to conserve natural resources and the existing natural environment and, where possible, to repair damage and reverse trends.
Environmental protection is one of the basic prerequisites for the overall development of any country in the world. If economic growth and development are to be established, and there is no country in the world that does not want to do so. GRONET struggles for the contribution of biodiversity and awareness of environmental
protection and the need to preserve the environment by preventing adverse impacts on mother nature.
Our activities focus on a principle goal of prevention, reduction and elimination of pollution and other forms of environmental degradation. They include, but are not limited to, the prevention, reduction or treatment of waste
and waste water; the prevention, reduction or elimination of gas emissions; treatment of soil and polluted groundwater; prevention or reduction of noise levels and vibrations; the protection of biodiversity and landscapes, along with their ecological functions; monitoring of the quality of the natural environment (air, water,
soil and groundwater); research and development in environmental protection; and activities related to general administration, training and teaching oriented towards environmental protection
The earth has great natural recuperative powers and, once the source of the pollution is removed, the land, lakes and seas return to their previous state. Reflect for a moment on the miracle the extraordinarily rare combination of factors that together makes life on earth possible.
Our planet’s ideal position in the right kind of galaxy, the right distance from a perfect star, the right tilt for seasons, exactly enough of a protective stratospheric radiation shield, a thin layer of breathable atmosphere, Sample water resources, a moderate temperature range, sunlight,
moderate terrain, energy and minerals, photosynthesis, the hydrologic cycle, the carbon cycle, living soils, flora, and fauna.
Imagine its magnificence from outer space, the “piercingly beautiful” blue globe our astronauts see hanging in the void, or from a down to earth panorama of its incredible landforms, mountains, canyons, plains, oceans, sea beds, rivers, lakes, wetlands, forests, jungles, archipelagos,
deserts, fjords, glaciers, and ice fields. Then think of the incredibly rich life forms, species, and ecosystems that exist. It’s our moral obligation as humans
to protect the environment, this work has became increasingly urgent in this new climate change. lets protect our environment and help the most vulnerable and marginalised communities to adopt climate change, together we can win the fight, We need you.
