International call to enter Venerable Trees of the Earth in the list of the World Heritage of UNESCO.
The Venerable Trees are part of the Biodiversity and the Sustainable Development. They are the %u201CSpirits of the Earth%u201D. The ancient trees represent an historical, natural, and cultural heritage. Seen the fragility of the Environment and the non-respect given to the old trees, it is important that they are protected and classified as World Heritage in UNESCO.
It is really urgent !
In 2005, an old french Yew tree (Taxus bacatta), which had nearly 400 years old had been logged without respect (A89 Highway construction).
To protect them, an International Call is launched to enter these old trees in the list of the World Heritage.
The main goal is to make aware people about environment, about trees, but first of all to protect these old and sacred trees.
Call to enter Venerable Trees of the Earth, elements of the World Heritage :
The trees live older than the men do, there are thousand year old which survived the storms, the axe, the fire or the indifference. Some had seen many generations of human beings.
They are the only witnesses of our past, survivors of the 90 % destroyed original forests in the world.
The very old trees deserve the respect, which we must give to the wise old men who crossed time. Nevertheless, in the world, sometimes, we forget them in an end of forest, an extent of desert, a slope of mountain. Worse still, they are cut down, instead of their paying.
Give them homage. A start is necessary everywhere to find a solidarity of planet with regard to these trees of life which, them, can also trace us the ways of a greater human fraternity.
This call to the world respect is sent to the United Nations to enter large monumental trees in the list of %u201CWorld Heritage%u201D. It relates to also the States, the regions, the communities, and each one of us.
So that everywhere in the world, we recognize the trees aged of several centuries, that we would see them and flower them as a sign of friendship, that we plant and that we protect their descent, relay of planet.
Few personalities already aware to trees are invited to join this call in favour of the venerable trees of the world.
When all international signatures of this call will be gathered, an International Committee will be created to enter the Venerable Trees as World Heritage.

The trees of the world are a part of us and we are a part of them. We must protect the world's oldest trees as a tribute to their power, glory, and wisdom.

Trees, thousands of years old, gone in moments - how can we let this happen? Doesn't anyone in power care about anything except $$'s?
