Of all the world's great environmental tragedies , it is the most compelling, and yesterday the deforestation of the Amazon was shown to be taking a huge turn for the worse.

The rate at which Brazil's rainforest is disappearing has leapt by 40 per cent in a single year .

Vast new tracts of virgin forest in the states of Mato Grosso and Para are being put to the chainsaw, according to figures from the Brazilian government, and turned into farmland - much of it used for growing soya beans, which end up as industrial cattle feed in Europe.

What is being destroyed is the most species-rich habitat on Earth.

The South America - Amazon Watershed

It provides much of the world's oxygen .

The Amazon Basin contains 1/4 of all the World's Species

THE FUTURE

Deforestation is threatening the future of the forest - with dozens of tree and plant species at risk of extinction. The International Union for Conservation of Nature, IUCN, which monitors plant and animal species, calculates there are 382 plant species in Brazil at risk. It also classifies 343 different types of mammals as at risk.

There are also fears large-scale deforestation could contribute to global warming. The Amazon acts as a "carbon sink", absorbing carbon dioxide. But once the trees are cut down, this absorption stops. Often the wood is burned, releasing carbon; and the loss of forest cover can also lead to carbon release from the soil.

Research at the Paulista State University in Guaratingueta, Brazil, calculates an average of 22,000 tons of carbon dioxide is emitted per square kilometre of forest cut down.

The forest also releases enough water to the atmosphere via evapotranspiration to influence world climate patterns.

Forecasts of the forest's future predict deforestation will continue. The WWF predicts 30% of the forest will be lost by 2030, if deforestation continues at the 1998-2003 rates and current climate conditions apply.

Even the best case scenario projection suggests 20% of the forest could be lost, if the government's schemes for preserving the forest succeed. Article courtesy of BBC.COM /NEWS

The Amazon River Basin is home to the largest rainforest on Earth . The basin -- roughly the size of the forty-eight contiguous United States -- covers some 40% of the South American continent and includes parts of eight South American countries .

How large is the Amazon rainforest?
In Brazil, the Amazon covers surface area of 4,100,000 square kilometers (1,583,000 square miles), of which around 3.4 million sq km (1.3 million sq mi) are presently forested .

The basin is drained by the Amazon River, the world's largest river in terms of discharge .

For Decades the Brazilian government has been basing estimates of Amazon deforestation on high-resolution Landsat satellite data. Having satellite data that show plenty of detail of the surface is critical for mapping the total deforested area because some of the deforestation in the region comes from small-scale clearing or logging projects.

the average annual rates of deforestation.

DEFORESTATION IN BRAZIL: 60-70 percent of deforestation in the Amazon results from cattle ranches while the rest mostly results from small-scale subsistence agriculture. Studies have showed a close correlation between logging and future clearing for settlement and farming

Causes of deforestation in the Amazon

Cattle ranches 60-70%

Small-scale, subsistence agriculture 30-40%

Large-scale, commercial agriculture 1-2%

Logging, legal and illegal 2-4%

Fires, mining, urbanization, road construction, dams 2-4%

Selective logging and fires that burn under the forest canopy commonly result in forest degradation, not deforestation. Therefore these factor less in overall deforestation figures.

The above pie chart showing deforestation in the Amazon by cause is based on the median figures for estimate ranges. Please note the low estimate for large-scale agriculture. Between 2000-2005 soybean cultivation reesulted in a small overall percentage of direct deforestation. Nevertheless the role of soy is quite significant in the Amazon. As explained by Dr. Philip Fearnside, "Soybean farms cause some forest clearing directly. But they have a much greater impact on deforestation by consuming cleared land, savanna, and transitional forests, thereby pushing ranchers and slash-and-burn farmers ever deeper into the forest frontier. Soybean farming also provides a key economic and political impetus for new highways and infrastructure projects, which accelerate deforestation by other actors."

Between May 2000 and August 2006, Brazil lost nearly 150,000 square kilometers of forest—an area larger than Greece—and since 1970, over 600,000 square kilometers (232,000 square miles) of Amazon rainforest have been destryed.

Share of Amazon deforestation by State of PARA in Brazil, 1988-2005 = 33%

This Rainforest Land   falls into an area which is known as the Amazon Rainforest , within The State of PARA, BRAZIL

DEFORESTATION DANGER if not SAVED

This is one of the Largest Remaining Private properties in the country of Brazil today, possibly on the Earth. The property is in the Brazilian State of Para, North of the Amazon River town of Obidos .

This 4.8 million acres is larger than New Jersey and Massachusetts together , or about the size of new Hampshire and Vermont .

Purchasing this land for $30. per acre is a bargain , but priceless for the sake of the Earth's Atmosphere.

The Owner has Agreed to allow the Green + Cross to purchase this land and save it .

But we must act now !!

The Amazon Basin stores over 70 Billion Tons of co2 in its Biomass

FARM ANIMAL WASTE TO ENERGY
The Green Cross will be introducing electrical generating methane fuel burning facilities to the Animal Processing Industry to eliminate the farm's manure charged effluent from being leached into the estuaries, stream and rivers . The Green Cross Advisory Board Member Tobias Koch has years of experience in Methane Extraction and Methane fueled turbine electrical processing, under the Kyoto Protocol. Fish, which can not be eaten now, will once again grace your table.

90% CO2 REDUCTION at COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS
The Green Cross has been working for the last few years with its European engineers, to promote the development of their Patented f3 Fuels Plants and bring that advanced technology into the USA, and around the World. The name f3 is earned from the process of producing the Fuel ,
This Patented process lowers the cost of co2 Capture and eliminates the process of co2 Sequestiuon which will stop the increase of electrical KW rates as much as 25% to the consumer . reduction in external energy demand.

These German/ Dutch engineered co2 capture Processes at Coal Fired Power Plants produce little or no CO2, compared to the large CO2 emissions spewing from the over 100 Coal Fired power Plants in the USA. In addition, a high-grade organic Algae is produced for cracking into Clean f3 Diesel, Jet-A and Gasoline .

This Patent will be brought to the USA to retrofit the existing Power Plants , and reduce Green House Gasses from the USA. This Green Cross Project will reduce millions of tons of CO2 from being emitted into your atmosphere.

ALGA MOLECULAR DIESEL, JET-A and GASOLINE Replacement FUELS , utilizing NO Sunlight and NO Open Growing Ponds .

The Green Cross has been working for the last 3 years to help develop Emissions Clean Fuels made from Free Fatty Acids v.s. plant based esters, such as corn, soy and palm oils.

Engineers around the World have for decades tried to develop this fuel, but all have fallen short , in one respect or another.

This Patented diesel process from Europe delivers a defined diesel at 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of current bio-diesel being produced from soy, corn, palm oil, etc.

The finished diesel burns cleaner than all mineral based diesel, and after blending reduces most all the CO2 and NOx, and zero sulphur, due to a spectrum of all like-kind molecular chains.

This defined diesel has a lower cold plugging point than current bio-diesel and mineral based diesel and is shown to produce more energy.

The f3 Alga Process produces 60% of its own energy and thus has a Positive Energy Balance .

This Green Cross Project will eliminate millions of tons of CO2 and NOx from being emitted into your atmosphere.

This Alga based Fuel Production takes the Pricing Pressure off the World's Food Stock of Corn and Soy .
The new Environmental Laws of California may not be possible to meet WITHOUT the presence of this Synthetic Diesel Fuel.

CEMENT REPACEMENT IN CONCRETE
The Green Cross is lucky to have as its Project Development Civil Engineer , an inventor of a replacement material for the Cement Powder , in the production of Concrete. For each and every ton of cement produced for concrete , an equal one ton of CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere, Worldwide. This replacement material for cement in concrete is superior to current concrete is several factors; It has high tensile strength as well as only the current compressive strength of concrete. Its has high thermal properties of not transferring heat or cold, as does current concrete. (Lowers air conditioning and heating costs) It costs 1/10th of current cost of concrete, allowing 3rd World homes of 300 sq.ft. to be built for as little as $300. U.S.

( Produces World Peace through providing one of the 3 basics ; food , clothing , and shelter ).

Irrigation projects in deserts can now be built to grow food, where concrete was cost prohibitive.

High rise, Roadways, Runways, can all be built from this new material .

This material is certified by renown Structural and Civil Engineer's tests and is set to be released.

This material will revolutionize the construction industry , in the USA and around the World.

And , The Green Cross will eliminate millions of tons of CO2 from being emitted into our atmosphere by its promotion of Projects utilizing this Cement Replacement Material. Cement Klinker Kilns are the 3rd largest industrial polluter of co2 , throughout the World.

In all cases, These Green Cross projects create a REAL NET REDUCTION in CO2. (RNRCO2)

Your Support of the Green Cross Environmental Project Fund is the key to success for these Net CO2 Reduction Projects.
