Russia’s forests under threat | DW Documentary

  • The taiga. The largest boreal forest on Earth and a crucial oxygen source. But its ecosystem is increasingly distressed, due to global warming and exploitation of raw materials.
    The forests of Russia produce some 1.3 billion tons of oxygen every year. But Greenpeace Russia warns that millions of hectares are being lost every year to fires and clearing operations.
    Along with ecologists, climate scientists, an environmental inspector and members of indigenous communities, this documentary runs a health check on the taiga and examines the potential impact on the world’s climate if this vast boreal forest isn’t protected.
    Open-cast mining in the Kuznetsk Basin is inflicting irreparable damage on the natural world, while business booms. Whereas Russian mining companies extracted around 260 million tons of coal in the year 2000, two decades later that figure climbed to some 400 million tons. And it’s set to rise even further - to some 590 million tons by 2030.
    Oil production is also a destructive force in many places. In 2020, Russia was the world’s second-largest oil producer with a market share of more than 11 per cent. But facilities are often in very poor condition. Russian environmentalists record some 10,000 cases of oil pollution every year.

    After watching this documentary, I realized how important it is to teach about environment conservation to kids in elementary school, after all they are the future leaders, businessmen, corporation. At the very least, even if they want to make money they will not be aware about mitigating secondary problems from harnessing natural resources. You can clearly see, from the documentary that businessmen and corporations have real disconnection about subsequent hazards that give birth from harnessing natural resources. If they had watch those documentaries when they were kids at least they would have strong emotional connection of being mindful about resource extraction.

    We have to thank the Russian conservationists who risk emprisonment to advance the cause of land conservation and for their demands to clean up the polluted places that displace Indigenous people from their stewardship of these places. Kudos to DW for working with such groups to document these monumental problems. Is it too much to ask the Russian government to consider their exploitation of these resources as a threat against humanity? When Americans and Canadians did the same to their forests, their greed was only promoted as an economic boon to those areas until those impacts became known as to their detrimental effects on all of humanity. We are all in this struggle together. Transitioning away from unfettered exploitation of natural resources has to close with the will of the world to enforce agreements made by our countries to curtail damaging exploitation. It isn't going to be easy, as these wars over resources around the world play out. And people don't see this relationship of climate change as being the source for wars for resources!

A person goes to work to make something. the item costs 10 Units to make including parts and labour and it sells for 15 Units. The person who employs the worker to make the item makes 5 Units of profit out of the effort of the worker. That 's called profit. Sure the employer had to find the work, set up the work place and provide the tools to do the job, but that is included in the cost of making the item. The person who buys the item knows they might be able to make the item themselves and probably for the same price but out of convenience they pay the price quoted. that's a simplified way to explain profit.

    "Putin wants to score ecological points"? That's a bit of a churlish way of putting it. When Germany is closing its nuclear power plant, is that "scoring ecological points"? Or perhaps actually wanting to something positive? (Not that I agree with closing them, and still burning lignite) However, there are obvious severe problems, as you illustrate. Germany? So far, opencast lignite mining has altered 179,490 hectares of countryside in Germany. Since 1924, 313 settlements have been lost to lignite mines in Germany. 50% of Germany's imported hard coal (Germany no longer mines hard coal) comes from, guess where? Russia. Don't get me wrong, environmental destruction, greed are all wrong, wherever they occur - Brazil, the Appalachians, Africa, Indonesia. It is heartening that brave people in Russia are trying to stand up to big business and corruption, as they do in so many other parts of the world. However, I have come to the conclusion there is no now chance that humanity will actually deal to these matters, and that within the next 100 years, several billion people will die or be displaced or will be killed in resource wars.

    The problems? Just like Brazil and Amazon, Australia and their desert, Africa and the dying Rainforest, Middle East and the Sands, Europeans and those Dying Indoor Farms, India and the Dying Lands, Asia and the Dying Rivers and Ecosystems of the Sea. Why?
    Because of? Resources, Developments, Building Infustructures and more? Human Populations.
    Human Populations Rising = More Building and Infustructures need to be build = more and more Resources need to be use = more and more chemicals need to be use = more and more infustructures need to be build = more and more technologies need to be make to control "Human"...ect... a world that relying on Technologies to control "Human" and to keep their "Lands and Reources". A world where all Human got divided by Political Issues and Greeds. Everyone on this planet say they have the "Right" to do whatever they want, and have to "Right" to be Alive. But look at the reality. The reality of this planet is that Human in each country is there to control their own Lands and Profits. Controls their own people and developments. No one really want to look at the whole world situation right now. There are so many lands getting destroyed by? -Tourism.
    Tourist are those who created a "Bussiness" that destroying this planet more and more and more. The more tourist traveling around the world? The more rubbish and chemicals going to be spread out while those Countries do not have enough instructures and systems to manage those waste and whatever going to pollute the nature. Wherever those "Human" go to? They are going to leave rubbish behind, just like how the Ocean right now is full of rubbish and polluted by those Factories and Mega-structures. All human industries and activities around the globe is killing the planet a bit by a bit everywhere for their own "Greed to Develop". Everyone going to have a reason to "Develop" but no one really want to look at the reality of holding on the money they could make from those "Seafoods" and those "Resources". And then they all blaming each others for not keeping and saving the enviroment of this planet. Just like who want to transform the Middle East into a Forest while everyone else is Struggling to save their own forest? EVERYONE KNOW FOREST AND THE SEA IS THE MAIN REASON WHY HUMAN APPEAR ON THIS PLANET. EVERYONE KNOW THAT THE ECOSYSTEMS OF THIS PLANET IS THE REASON WHY THIS PLANET IS STILL "ALIVE" BUT NO ONE REALLY CARE ABOUT HOW THEY ARE DIVIDING THIS PLANET INTO COUNTRIES AND DESTROYING IT BY THOSE BORDERS AND COUNTRIES. EVERYONE SAY THEY ARE RIGHT. BUT IS THE DEVELOP OF A COUNTRY OR ALL THOSE COUNTRIES TOGETHER MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE FUTURE OF THIS PLANET ECOSYSTEM?
    Just look at the Europeans. Those farms and all others farms on this planet. Those farms is the main reason why this planet is dying. Those farms is the main reason why they are fighting for Lands. For what? For the Future of Destruction?
    You all calling each other Killers. But you all have Nukes and Troops.
    You all calling each other Monster but then you all believe you all are gods of the lands. Will fighting be the way to save this planet?
    Just like how you all are creating those "Terrorist".
    Look at the Deserts all around the world and ask GOD. HOW CAN YOU TURN ALL DESERT ON THIS PLANET INTO RAINFOREST WHEN ALL OF YOU ARE RELYING ON TECHNOLOGIES AND WEAPONS THAT CREATING FROM "NATURE AND NEED TO DESTROY THE NATURE TO HAVE THOSE RESOURCES"?
    ALL THOSE BUILDINGS, TRANSPORTATIONS AND GOODS ARE CREATING FROM "KILLING THE NATURE".
    To have those foods and the tables you need to destroy the nature? To have to money you need to destroy the nature?
    To have to developments you need to destroy the nature?
    Then to save the nature you have to destroy more nature?
    Anyone know Maths will be able to calculate the reality of the destruction on the ecosystems of this planet. Comunism or Democracy or Socialism all going to destroy this planet if you all are fighting for the development of yourself. Up to now. You all do not want to have a world war 3 and a long nuclear winter by those wars. But no one want to back down on war and see what the Hell is going on with this world?
