Peace Forest and Nation Border Wildlife Sanctuary Border
As a solution to ongoing conflicts between bordering Nations, such as Ukraine and Russia, Palestine and Israel, North and South Korea, etc, the Earth Harmony Foundation is proposing a Paradigm shift, that of planting a ‘Peace Forest’ to be planted along the border between such nations in historical conflicts as well as between nations at peace as well.
Responding to existing conflicts and wars purely with military means has had the effect of expanding aggression, creating civilian casualties , spending important country wealth on items of destruction, which then need to be replaced, and cementing local differences into generational opposition.
Today president Biden pledged support to Ukraine to defend itself from the invasion by Russia, and at the same time calling for the end to Climate degradation. The advancement of building shipping using weapons of war adds climate degradation. And yet NATO is formed to protect the western world from a Russian advance, which could also alienate China another countries to support Russia.
This is not what the world needs, endless military support at the places of contention in the world, in fact the world needs the opposite, the advance of peace in these fragile regions.
The plan for the Earth Harmony Peace Forests and Wildlife and Climate Protection areas is to allow the trees and natural world to support our intentions and prayers for peace.
Trees will be planted by children in towns and villages, and cities and farms closest to the Borders. As the trees grow, they will reach towards the borders with their arms of unity, and supply branches for birds, mammals and insects to nest, and find homes.
When this happens on both sides of the borders the forest will have started.
It is obvious that people have more in common than what separates them. From Sports to music, opera, art, architecture, all people share concerns for a sustainable and increasingly healthy world
The earth harmony foundation is supporting a series of concerts for Peace, where music unites where war fails.
Even as the world is tormented by the war, it is still in love with the music of Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, etc. let the cultural icons stand above the destruction. The Rimsky Korsokov piece The Great Gate of Kiev being the initial theme of this program, the great place of unity.
Same for Israel and Palestine, let the towns each side of the borders plant the trees. Let the North Koreans and South Koreans unite via a forest that consumes the borders.
Let us see the world we wish, all borders as a sanctuary, filled with native wildlife flourishing and the oxygen emitted by the planted trees correcting the present day-off balance climate.
Let the children who plant the trees feel empowered that they are creating a future world that they want to be part of and are creating.
Let this start immediately, let the United Nations set this in motion now.
Let there be a joint venture but the Climate and Peace and Nature Departments of the United Nations to utilize their potential and instill such a vision wherever possible.
Let there be an installment to designate the Forest, and a website to amplify it. Even amphitheaters to perform concerts and programs, musicals and dramas of unification.
