<DIV>Друзья, <BR></DIV>
<DIV>неугомонный Свет затеял себе новое "развлечение" - рассылку англоязычных
дайджестов, состоящих из позитивных новостей (негативных у всех с избытком).
<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Первый адресат - рассылка призеров Голдмановской премии: это уже много
более 100 активистов со всех континентов. Первый дайджест - ниже. <BR></DIV>
<DIV>Кому нужен такой текст для себя и/или для рассылки своим англоязычным
коллегам - напишите. <BR></DIV>
<DIV>Включу в лист. <BR></DIV>
<DIV>Здоровья и успехов,</DIV>
<DIV>Свет <BR></DIV>

country, went online. We started holding themed Fridays. We made a video
demanding to stop the fire and save our forests! We talked about the "norm",
which led us to the current crises. We organized webinars with experts. People
began to forget about the plastic crisis, but we reminded them! We supported the
Green Exchange Rate program and held a bright campaign for climate with
Greenpeace! </SPAN>They made a cool video about us. <SPAN

<SPAN><SPAN>Moscow</SPAN></SPAN> region</SPAN></B><SPAN lang=EN-US> was
successfully completed by the PF "Verkhovye" together with partners from the
ecological and educational center "Crane Homeland". During the work, a
comprehensive environmental survey of the territory was carried out and a
complete set of necessary materials was developed to create this specially
protected natural area. Further coordination of the prepared materials with all
instances will be carried out. The future nature park is located in the
Taldomsky and Sergiev Posad city districts of the
<SPAN><SPAN>Moscow</SPAN></SPAN> region, its area according to preliminary
proposals is more than 103 thousand hectares. It includes natural complexes of
forests, meadows and swamps of the Upper Volga Lowland, which play an important
water conservation role and are habitats of protected species of flora and
fauna. Here are several of the largest in the region of upland and transitional
swamps, swampy black alder forests.<SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P>

lang=EN-US>When European settlers arrived in North America, savannas of tall
pine trees with long needles covered much of what became the southern
<SPAN><SPAN>United States</SPAN></SPAN>. But then, by the 1990s, logging and
clear-cutting for farms and agricultural development had almost completely
destroyed the long-leaved pines and pastures where hundreds of plant and animal
species flourished. Restore long-leaved pine took the defender of the forest. At
the moment, the revival of long-leaved pine under the auspices of Rhett Johnson
is being carried out by landowners, government agencies and non-profit
organizations in nine coastal states from <SPAN>Virginia</SPAN> to
<SPAN><SPAN>Texas</SPAN></SPAN>. Under the cultivation of this species of
conifers, an area of 19,000 square kilometers is allocated, and more than a
quarter of them have been planted since 2010. "I would like to say that we have
saved the long-leaved pine from extinction, and perhaps with it many species of
animals and insects living in the neighborhood of these trees. After all, with
the loss of habitat, almost 30 of them are at risk of extinction", said Rhett
Johnson.<SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P>

plastic waste from the European Union will come into force. Under the new rules,
only garbage that can be disposed of is allowed to be sent to States outside the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The European Commissioner
for the environment Virginijus Sinkevicius said: "These new rules clearly show
that the European Union takes seriously the responsibility we bear for the
garbage we generate. This is an important step in the fight against
environmental pollution from plastic waste, in the transition to a closed-loop
economy and in achieving the goals outlined in the "Green Pact for
