  • Nature protection

(Yes it's red again. After having more or less finished it early in August, it's author thought he could partly have some vacation and partly pay attention to other interests.

That's why he didn't notice, that not much later a proposal for deletion was made. On 23 aug. the whole article was deleted, because there were no objections made against that proposal. And on sept 7 the author of it noticed, that it wasn't there any more. Even worse was, that he turned out to have made no back up of it. So he has to start again from the beginning and does that here on this page. It can take several months, because he has a lot of others things to do. Also possible is, that he doesn't place it back at all, but lets others free, to do this.

Follows the proposed new article, as far as it's ready now:


Nature protection verbally concerns all activities, aiming to prevent, that whatever kind of harm is done to whatever kind of living being. The word "nature" namely derives from the Latin word "natura", which in it's turn is a translation of the Greek word "physis", standing for "growth". As "growth" is almost synonym to "living", the word "nature" must be seen as meaning "everything that's alive". So "Nature Protection" in fact is synonym to "Life Protection".

Still the term "Nature Protection" untill now is mostly used in the sense of what in fact is "Landscape Conservation"; conservation of certain, mostly natural green area's, including the free animals, living there. An essential element of this activity is Biodiversity conservation. Part of this, in it's turn, is the pursuit to prevent, that the blond, blue-eyed human race becomes extinct, or eliminated that far, that it cannot exercise it's essential (rational) function in the whole of humanity and nature in general, any more.

Now, as not only the word "nature" means much more than just "landscape", but also the word "protection" contains much more than just "conservation", "Nature Protection" has many more aspects than "Landscape Conservation". In fact it contents the protection of humans, animals, plants and microbes.

Protection of humans takes place in many ways and via many existing organisations; a few of them are: Child protection, Red Cross, Amnesty International, Salvation Army, etcetera.

Animal protection generally spoken is the guarding of animals, for all kinds of mistreatement by humans. One of the ways in which humans nowadays mistreat animals, is the pollution of their natural habitat. This means, that Environmental activities, that aim to reduce pollution, for instance of the water, in which fishes (have to) live, have important nature protecting aspects. And so do activities, to promote animal friendly feeding principles, such as Vegetarianism, Veganism, Raw foodism and Fruitarianism; many animal lifes can be saved, or made more worth living, in this way.

Apart from the well known general animal protecting organisations, there are more and more specialised ones, like "Fishes Protection", "Birds Protection" and "Cats protection".

Unlike is the case with animals and humans, up untill now, there are hardly any well known organisations yet, that aim to protect plants in general, respectively microbes.

Nevertheless environmental activities often also have important plantlife protecting aspects; if for instance, thanks to these activities, rain becomes less purple, this means, that many trees, that otherwise would die from sucking up very polluted water, don't die any more, by that cause.

Furthermore Fruitarianism has an important plantprotecting aspect, because it implies, that no plants are eaten. Specialised plant protecting organisations are for instance "Tree foundation"s.

As for the protection of microbes, here as well goes, that environmental activities in many a case lead to the salvation of bacteria lives; reduction of gasoline use for instance, implies, that production of it can be reduced in an equal measure, so that less bacteria, finding themselves in the crude-oil, used for this, will die in the production process. In the field of feeding, Raw-foodism and Fruitarianism, both implying that no cooked food is eaten, have a microbe (a.o. vitamine) protecting aspect, as none are killed, or harmed otherwise, in the cooking heat.
