Forests - the ‘Lung ofthe Earth’

Forests have been of great importance to mankindsince prehistoric days. Forests play multiple roles inour lives. There is an intrinsic link between the qualityof life and the health of forests and forest ecosystems.Forests perform vital functions and services, whichmake our planet alive. Splendid and inspiring forestsare the most biologically diverse ecosystems on land,and are home to more than half of the terrestrial speciesof flora and fauna. Forests provide many valuableresources and raw materials for economic development.In fact, 1.6 billion people depend on forests for theirlivelihood and provides home to more than 300 millionpopulations worldwide. It not only provides shelter butalso jobs, security and cultural relevance to the forestdependent populations. Forests also help in sustainingthe quality and availability of freshwater supplies. Morethan three quarters of the worlds accessible freshwatercomes from forested catchments. Moreover, use ofgenetic diversity within the forests enables thedevelopment of new medicines for health care andprogress in medical science.

With the growing global pollution levels and advent ofclimate change and their adverse impacts on mankind,the importance of forests as a carbon sink becomesmore and more prominent and often come to be referredto as the ‘Lung of the Earth’. This is particularly because,as estimated, the deforestation and forest degradationaccount for nearly 20 per cent of global greenhousegas emissions, which forests would have absorbed if

Be it made of any kind of paper or plastic, we usuallythrow away the foodstuff or other containers and thecarry bags here and there after use; sometimes weburn them out in order to manipulating the waste theypose. Disposal of any objects now-a-day has stood asa grave concern for them involved. To clear out almostall types of paper is not, however, as serious a deal asthat of plastics.

To speak of the use of plastics one must have to takea long breath before stop. The roll includes not onlyutensils of daily use, water and other types of bottle,containers and wrappers, toys and paints, but alsochairs and tables, water pipes, doors, parts of clocksand watches, fridge and what not ? Now no life-style isexpected to run smoothly without plastics. Besidescomfort and convenience, plastic items are, in general,cheaper than their use-equivalents made from metalsand other materials.

On the other hand, a good proportion of plastic itemsis not reusable at least when broken, torn out orotherwise deformed or damaged. They are then to bedisposed away. And there itself lies the stern problem– how to dispose them properly? What we usually do,we throw apart the waste adding more litters to thesurrounding. Some of the waste so disposed (?) getdumped on the surface soil as garbage, some collecton ditches and drains. A fraction – particularly the carrybags and similar objects, light in weight – is scatteredall around by the lash of wind thus deteriorating thebeauty of the surrounding. The plastic wastes gatheringin the ditches and drains afterwards come to a haltand obstruct the flow of water mass besides facilitatingthe mosquitoes to lay eggs. Some extraneous materialsmay also add to such a nuisance. Time comes whenobnoxious smell may disturb the surrounding.

On-soil dump of plastic packets, wrappers andcontainers sometimes contain the refuse of manyedibles. With the passage of time bacteria decomposethem giving rise to unwholesome odour.

Plastic in common use is a synthesised material. In 1865a person, Alexander Perks by name, first produced avariety of plastic termed ‘celluloid’. Celluloid was easilycombustible. A German scientist Leo Bakeland couldsatisfactorily make away with that disadvantage bypreparing another variety called ‘Bakellite’. Following

The Menace called Plastic

Dr. Ramesh Chandra Goswami

bakellite, numerous plastics came into being in themarket; some of them are: styrene, polystyrene,polyethelene, polypropylene, polyester, vinyl, nylon,Teflon and the like. The carry bags we generally useare made from polyethelene type of plastic.

Plastics have some remarkable properties, such as

● they do not get wet in water

● they are non-conductor of electricity

● they do not allow even air to flow through

● they are not easily decomposed;

it is speculated that some varieties of plastic are notdegraded even if they are kept underground for 250years or so !

Plastic, however, is a gruesome pollutant of theenvironment. Not effective measure by which plasticcan be convincingly removed from the surrounding isunveiled till date. Yet practice has been going on todispose plastic wastes in three ways:

● by underground dumping

● by burning, and

● by recycling.

As compared to the first two, the last one is a betteroption. When dumped underground, they very oftenhamper the agricultural endeavour. Burning somevarieties of plastic may even produce sa dangerous agas as dioxin, the deadliest gas the US applied in theVietnam war of 1960s and 1970s. A few other type ofplastics when burnt produce another poisonous gascalled PCB (Polychlorinated biphenyls). This gasdisturbs the process of photosynthesis of the plantkingdom.

Though seems to be a comfortable option, recycling isalso not fully free from hazards. In the process ofrecycling, three kinds of gases viz., benzene, xyleneand ethylene are produced. They can cause damageto the nervous system, kidney and blood. They areeven indicative of carcinogenic efficacy. The rawproduce again assures a waste of similar type.

Thus plastic is a potential hazard – a threat to theenvironment. The problem has invited meticulousattention of the scientists, technologists, politicians,

PARIVESH BATORIPARIVESH BATORI

general citizens all alike over the globe. Severalcountries have banned or controlled the use of sometypes of plastics including polyethene in common usein every occasion. A section of technologists has laideffort to produce electricity using the heat obtained fromburning plastic wastes. Bitumen, a variety of coal, iscommonly used in making a pitched road. Attempt hasalso been made to mix waste plastic materials withbitumen for the purpose. So done, longivity of pitch isbetter expected by the technologists.

Can common people extend their help in reducing theplastic menace in our surrounding? Why not – one cantake recourse to at least the following means in orderto mitigate the practice: One can reduce the use ofand/or encourage the reuse of the polyethene or otherplastic materials in all possible cases. Polyethene carrybags may be substituted by paper bags or packets aswas done prior to the plastic invention. ( It is not totallybaseless to think how troublesome it would be to runthe days without plastic. Be it so, but we must have tochange our mind-set.)

In an effort to wipe out, or rather thinning out theproblem of plastic pollution, the concept of ‘green plastic’or ‘bioplastic’ came into being. Unlike the conventionalwastes, such plastics are produced generally fromplants. So, green plastics are biodegradable. Most ofthe plants such as soyabean, wheat, maize and alsopotatoes and similar food stuffs contain enormousamount of starch microbial action on which yields thegreen plastics.

Two categories of biodegradable plastics are inexistence till now. The first is totally organic in structure(prepared from plants) while the second one is amodified plastic prepared by mixing a fraction of starchwith conventional plastics. The former is very readilydecomposed. The latter too gets decomposed rapidlyno doubt, but remains in the environment in the formof traces. A biodegradable plastic with trade name‘biopol’ entered the market in 1982. Remains of biopol,however, reduces the porosity of soil thus hamperingthe normal neutrition of the plants. Hence it is almoston the same footing as the conventional plastics andno superior.

Polylactic acid (PLA) is another variety of plastic whichhas a longer time for being degraded. Besides, PLAbeing produced from the starch obtained from thegenetically modified plants (crops) is not encouragablesince such plants (crops) are liable to adversely affectthe environment.

Experts still have reservation in expressing the degreeof authenticity to which plastics are biodegradable. Ifany type is so, no remains should pose a hazard to theenvironment – it should yield only carbon dioxide andwater along with the organic mass from the decomposedplastic.

Scientists are yet to succeed in producing commerciallyviable green plastics or any other type of easilydisposable plastics even in these days of scientific andtechnological advance. The world is, of course, awaitinga new dawn. ❑

carefully managed. Thus forests are vital to the survivalof people everywhere- all seven billion of us.

Once about 60 per cent of the earth’s land area wascovered with forest. With the development of civilization,large forest areas have been cleared to make way forfarms, mines, towns, roads and other developmentalactivities in the past years. Today we have just over 4billion hectares of forests in our world, accounting foronly 31 per cent of our total land area. Globally, therate of forest loss is daunting – 130,000 squarekilometers of forest have been lost each year between2000 and 2010. While this might be an improvementon the 160,000 square kilometres lost per year in the1990s, it’s still a significant continuing loss.

Many reasons are there, but often to produce moreagricultural land to support our ever increasing globalpopulation, to meet our ever-increasing demand for

(Contd. from page 1, column one) timber, and of course, in many countries, toaccommodate the ever-expanding urban areas, the lossof forest is stupendous. In addition, poor forestmanagement affects how forests function; so we cannotjust avoid deforestation – we need also to avoid forestdegradation.

Under the changing global economic and environmentalscenario, conserving forests and expanding them needto be recognized as a business opportunity. It isestimated that an investment of US$ 30 billion in fightingdeforestation could provide a return of US$ 2.5 trillionin new products and services. Thus adoption ofsustainable forest management strategy at differentlevels aimed at maintaining or increasing forest carbonstocks and forests productivities are the needs of theday. Individual action can result in exponential impact,hence, by doing simple change in our lifestyle andapproach to the forest, we all can contribute to theprocess of building our own healthy environment. ❑

The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF),Government of India, has notified the Wetlands(Conservation and Management) Rules 2010 onDecember 2nd 2010. The Rules have been drafted bythe MoEF to ensure better conservation andmanagement and to prevent degradation of existingwetlands in India.

Wetlands are vital parts of the hydrological cycle, arehighly productive, support exceptionally large biologicaldiversity and provide a wide range of ecosystemservices, such as waste assimilation, water purification,flood mitigation, erosion control, ground waterrecharge, microclimate regulation, aestheticenhancement of the landscape while simultaneouslysupporting many significant recreational, social andcultural activities, besides being a part of the culturalheritage. Wetlands are critical for human developmentand wellbeing, especially in India where a large numberof people are dependant on them for water, food andlivelihood. Despite their immense importance, wetlandsare one of the most degraded ecosystems globally.Many wetlands are seriously threatened by reclamationthrough drainage and landfill, pollution (discharge ofdomestic and industrial effluents, disposal of solidwastes), hydrological alterations (water withdrawal andinflow changes) and over-exploitation of their naturalresources resulting in loss of biodiversity and disruptionin goods and services provided by wetlands. Researchsuggested that about one third of India’s wetlands havebeen either completely wiped out or severely damaged.

India has been accorded high priority in Wetlandconservation. National Environment Policy, 2006recognizes the ecological services provided by wetlandsand emphasizes the need to set up a regulatorymechanism consistent with the Ramsar Convention tomaintain the ecological character of the identifiedwetlands and develop a national inventory of suchwetlands. In fact, India is a party to the RamsarConvention under which 25 wetlands from India areincluded in the list of wetlands of internationalimportance.

The Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules,2010, is expected to provide much needed legalframework for conservation and management ofwetlands in the country. Some important rules and sub-
