The Federal Government, has been called upon to enact a law on Permaculture, to protect the environment, the eco-system and wildlife.<\/p>\n
Mr Lawal Adeosun, an environmentalist with the Permaculture Forest Gardens at the Gberefun Point-of-No-Return in Badagry, made the call during an interview with newsmen at the weekend in the area.<\/p>\n
He said that it was always better to take pre-emptive action to secure the environment against degradation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want the Federal Government to enact a law on Permaculture, to ban the abuse of the environment, the eco-system and the preservation of wildlife,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Permaculture is the study of how to preserve the environment, wildlife and the eco-system against human abuse.<\/p>\n
He urged the Federal Government to take urgent steps to stem the impending consequences of tampering with the environment and the eco-system, such as bush burning and flooding.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea of bush burning, using fertiliser to grow plants, or using explosives to harvest fish, are bad practices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Adeosun wondered how many generations of fish would have been destroyed in one full swoop when explosives are used to harvest fish from rivers.<\/p>\n
The environmentalist, who said that it was better to use natural manure to grow food crops, warned that the use of fertiliser could cause cancer and other related diseases.<\/p>\n
He, therefore , urged the Federal and State Governments to arrest and prosecute anybody found guilty of degrading the environment, particularly through the abuse of the eco-system and the depletion of wildlife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
