Read the following speech and prepare notes for the same.
Mr Lester R. Brown in his thoughtful book, The Global Economic Prospect, points out that
the earth's principal biological systems are four fisheries, forests, grasslands, and
croplands -
and they formthe foundation of the global economic system. In addition to
supplying our food, these four systems provide virtually all the raw materials for industry
except minerals and petroleum -
derived synthetics.In large areas of the world human claims on these systems are reaching an unsustainable
level, a point where their is being impaired. When this happens fisheries collapse, forests
disappear, grasslands are converted into barren wastelands, andcroplands deteriorate. In a
protein conscious and protein hungry world, over fishing is common every day. In poor countries, locál forests are being decimated in order to procure firewood for cooking. In
some places, firewood has become so expensive that "what goes under the pot now costs
more than what goes inside it." Since the tropical forest is, in the words of Dr Myers, "the
powerhouse of evolution'", several species of life face extinction as a result of its
destruction.
