Tropical Conservancy (TC-Biodiversity), a registered charity, works
to conserve and protect species, habitats and the environment
worldwide.
|
TC-Biodiversity advocates and participates in research, education and
conservation to:
(1) augment knowledge of life on Earth;
(2) conserve species, habitats and the environment;
(3) augment human capacity in building a society in which
man lives in harmony with all other living things to
maintain and preserve the ecological equilibrium
essential for life on Earth to continue.

Taking Part in
Global Efforts
in Sustaining Life on Earth |

Living things and their diversity
as we see today are
the result of billions of years of evolution. They forms the web
of life in which all living organisms intricately depend on one
another to survive and flourish. The ecological equilibrium
created by the harmonious living among Earth's living organisms
has perfectly sustained life on this planet for hundred of millions of
years. Man, a product of a 3.5 billion-year evolution presently
comes into existence as a young, intelligent and dominant species in the
web of life. Having acquired an exceptionally high level of
intelligence this unique species has out competed all other organisms consequently offsetting this equilibrium.
The looming environmental - climatic crisis: "the Global
Warming"
that all living things on Earth are facing to day has largely been
the result of
cumulative human activities within a
period of less than 100 years
from the second quarter of the
20th century to the present.
Humanity has continued to cause
serious degradation of the Earth's biosphere by over-exploiting
and depleting its living resources, encroaching upon
its natural habitats and severely polluting nearly all
of its
strata. Greenhouse gases continue to concentrate in the
atmosphere as dwindling populations
of green plants and related organisms on Earth
are no longer sufficient to remove these gases.
Consequently, the Earth is getting warmer, more and more
species are going extinct,
biological resources are getting scarcer and scarcer, and
the environment and climate are becoming less and less
habitable. Despite all warnings about catastrophic consequences
to the Earth, this trend of destruction continues.
Tropical Conservancy is taking part
in
global efforts in the restoration and preservation of the
Ecological Equilibrium
vital for life on this planet to continue.
