TREES ALSO HAVE THEIR AIDS

[Mariboulg]

Nearly 15,000 plants near the city of Pavlodar (the central-Asian republic of Kazakhstan) have died from cennogenosis, activists from the EKOM environmental organization assert. According to scientists, this fungous disease emerges after frequent droughts. This year turned out most dtoughtybecause of a heightened solar activity. If trees do not burn down in forest fires, their get affected by caennogenosis. Environmentalists have dubbed the disease an “arboreal AIDS.” The fungus, which forms on a tree’s bark, kills the tree’s immunity. So, we are having here all the signs of HIV development. The trees loose their foliage first, then, as a result of dehydration, a bark comes off. Nowadays, unfelled plants in Pavlodar resembles skeletons. Pavlodar’s environs may become “bald” within the nest 5 years, environmentalists predict. The city resident can now hardly recognize their once green city. According to KazPress Internet site, the local authorities are planning to organize a campaign named “100,000 trees to the native city” meaning that every 3d Pavlodar resident will have to plant a tree.

Hi Mariboulg!

This is interesting. When people are saddened by the forest firest that seem to bloom every summer here in BC, I am reminded that if people didn't exist at all, these fires would rage on regardless. Sometimes they're caused by lightening, or the dry dry heat of summer. It a way of cleansing, and adding nutrients to the soil.

Our biggest problem here currently is the Pine Beetle who is literally destroying hundreds of acres of our forests here in BC. The activists don't want the trees sprayed, and now these beetles have migrated up north to a whole new forest. How can we as people even think to compete with nature??
