A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: Woodchipping
Proposed by: Homophobic Warriors
Description:
BELIEVING that protecting our environment is very important and that wanton deforesting of any trees has to be controlled;
CONCERNED that the forests and the animals living in forests are being harmed by logging companies
CONSIDERING that trees and plants are needed to provide oxygen for humans
WORRIED that nations are destroying their beautiful countryside and wildlife
The United Nations,
DEFINES for the purposes of this resolution, a forest as a group of 20 trees or more
MANDATES that every nation has to define 10% of the total area of forest in their nation as protected by the government;
FURTHERMORE NOTES that this area of forest must not be cut down by any individual member, company, organisation or group within the nation or a combination of any of these
MANDATES that any area of forest where citizens live in or a high amount of birds or mammals live must not be cut down. This adds on to the 10% of protected forest;
MANDATES that if a nation cuts down 25% of their total forest area, all logging must be stopped until this 25% has been replanted;
THEREFORE URGES nations to use sustainable logging where almost every tree cut down is replanted. This would ensure that the nation never gets to the situation of the above clause;
CREATES the United Nations Environment Protection Foundation (UNEPF), which has the following tasks:
1. To use UNCoESB's (resolution 119) ruling on whether or not an animal or a plant is endangered
2. To protect animals and plants which are deemed to be endangered (recalling resolution 119 UNCoESB) by preventing any individual person, company, organisation, group or any combination of the former from destroying their natural habitat
3. Keep a record of the area of forest in each nation in square kilometres, to ensure that they can carry out the above clauses
MANDATES that anyone who breaks the laws set out in this resolution must be punished
URGES nations to punish anyone who breaks the laws set out in this resolution, in a serious way
NOTING that the same rules apply to any foreign company who has leased any area of land in any UN member nation
CONCLUDING that this proposal protects endangered species and plants, as well as natives and the environment in general.
