Proposal For United Earth

UNITED EARTH PETITION

I proposed that the people of the Earth unite in one democratic force (tyranny will be replaced with democracy; capitalism will be replaced with co-operation); whereupon we can communicate and co-operate via the internet. With this in mind, I further propose an Executive body, The United Earth Organization (UEO), to oversee the will of the people. The responsibilities of the UEO include, providing shelter, food, clean water, and health-care for the poor and the sick; it will setup other organizations such as the World Wildlife Organization (WWO) to ensure the welfare and continued survival of the organisms of the Earth and their habitats. The WWO will have the necessary purview to join up the National Parks of different country's to ensure the continued survival and safety of the ecological-system and that of the organisms dependent upon it; whether an island, group of islands, land-mass such as Africa, these areas will be evacuated of most (if not all) human interference; cooperating with UEO, the WWO, will oversee any scientific research into these conservation areas. The UEO will, co-operate with its other appointed organizations, such as for scientific research, industrial manufacturing, education, etc., in order to provide a basis for self-improvement, and co-operation.

 

The UEO will establish-and-make-possible, the destiny of humanity, as the consciousness of the Universe, to go beyond extinction to the stars.

 

I propose this because of the tyranny, wars, genocides, famine, on-going Holocene extinction event of species, inequality of women and people, continued stupidity, and selfishness of other people in the world; compounded with such divisive methods of supposed organization such as capitalism.

 

It is way beyond the time to move forward, by any attempted progressive programmes and then react back at it; people need to evolve in their values, we live in the 21-century not the middle ages!

 

We need a New Liberal movement, an ideology of doctrines if you will, in order to-go-forward-and-not-back, this New Liberalism, will emerge from the co-operation of the people.

 

Have no illusions the problems requiring addressing will create much resistance, initial discord-unrest, etc., but this will happen eventually, and imperative if Humanity wishes to survive this century of problems.

Humanity must revolutionalize its relationship not only with each other, but with the Earth-as-a-whole meaning the other organisms-habitats, still surviving at this moment – and with courage-and-determination will continue to flourish. Humanity requires sustainable development coupled with rights, such as equality, liberties, free medicine, food, clean water, housing, sanitation, etc.; further the capitalistic-symbiotic corporate-banking-finance system must become dismantled, replaced with co-operating, self-improvement, etc. Climate-Change must become made liveable-survivable, if not reversed; the environment preserved-protected-developed. Our industrial society need not take a step back, but we need to clean up our act. Other sentient organisms co-inhabit the Earth, and we have a responsibility to them, aswell as the other organisms-habitats – their survival ultimately entails our survival; moreover the part answer to Climate-Change. We have warred, commited atrocities, made living nearly impossible for large masses of people around the world, used the other organisms for our own self-interests, for the last few centuries systematically made species extinct, now even threatening our own continued survival with Climate-Change – yet largely remain in denial. This tragic-comedy can no longer be allowed to continue. Humanity must emerge from its childhood to adulthood, and take up its long procrastinated responsibilities.

World Wild-Life Organization (W.W.O).

The National (Wild-Life) Parks, should work within an organization involving others such as, World Wild-Life Fund (W.W.F.), Green Peace, etc., perhaps re-organized as World Wild-life Organization (W.W.O.); furthermore into sub-organizations such as Diversity, Eco-System, Sentience Awareness, Conservation (D.E.S.A.C.), an Oceanography Conservation And Exploration (O.C.A.E.), etc. On the News recently (September, 2014), it got announced (very matter-of factually) that in the last 40 years, half the Earth's animal life has disappeared from the surface of this planet; whereas as previous to this many scientists (2007) had speculated that it may take 100 years. Ofcourse, such a shattering statement went on probably unnoticed, but if noticed, probably with resignation, with counter-arguments that people suffer (that "...the feeding a child is more important than any animal" [or-pet], otherwise something similar to such a statement), etc. Such 'anger'-defiance, the sweeping-away of collective responsibility, because of the values we uphold, of the free-market, of survival (living) via profit, as financially-self-sufficient in a society that recognizes social-wealth power, has hypocritically created this very situation without care, perhaps even 'thought' of the likely consequences.

World Wild-life Sanctuary (W.W.S.).

We must create more Wild-life (National) Parks (otherwise Sanctuaries) in order to protect eco-systems against people. Essential candidates should include the Great Rift Valley (despite spanning several countries), connected Savanna tracks, whole States like the Congo (forest-river-marshlands, mountain Gorillas, etc), Kenya (important for the Savanna), etc.; the extensive walkabout tracks of Elephants; etc. These population areas should become cleared, kept clear, even of tourists. Other candidates, the Galápagos Archipelago, Mauritius Island, New Zealand, U.S., Carolina Coast, Alaska, Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, the Amazon basin-rain-forest, Malayan rain-forest, Indian topical-forest (habitat of the Tiger, Indian Elephant, etc), Indonesian rain-forest, etc.; whereby New Guinea, aswell as the Amazon Basin become Special Protected Regions, as World Wild-Life Sanctuaries inhabited by human tribes, designated for Non-Interference Directive. The breeding grounds of Cetaceans, such as Antarctic waters, Canadian Pacific coast, Coral Atolls such as the Great Barrier Reef. Including Special Environmental Protection Regions from human development, such as Marshlands, Wetlands, Islands, etc., for breeding-feeding-migrating Birds, Seals, etc., which importantly should include the surrounding seas, essential for the resources, nutrients, etc., of mutual organisms. The establishment, protection, maintenance, etc., of World Wild-life Sanctuaries, is not enough, this must include recovery, re-establishment of original extent of eco-systems, for example, re-claiming, re-forestation, etc., of the Amazon rain-forest, as a self-sufficient Bio-sphere able to support a self-sustaining eco-system of endangered species. The welfare of the planet-as-a-whole, especially the condition of the diversity of the Bio-spheres, remains crucial to the survival of Humanity. Without the forests, the atmosphere will become depleted of oxygen; without diversity of life-forms, ultimately we will likely not survive the evolving of new pathogens, unable to find medicines from nature; without phyto-plankton, Insects to pollinate the plants, etc., hence plants for the hervibores; etc., then the food-webs will fall-apart, thus will we become threatened ultimately with extinction ourselves. There remain many problems concerning the care-welfare of the other organisms of our planet. The Chinese market for alternative medicine, Ivory, etc., the international market for furs, hand-bags, ornaments, hunting prizes, etc., has no justification, least that other species may have evolved as sentient. There are no justifications for public Zoos, to hold creatures in captivity, for pets, Circuses, entertainment, etc., except for the purposes of an international co-operation involving conservation, re-stocking of species in their natural habitat, etc., as at present internationally fore-run by National Parks, Conservation centers, some Zoos, etc. Over-Fishing, polluting of the Oceans, decline, conservation, research, etc., of the Oceans, should become over-watched by an organization such as Oceanography Conservation And Exploration (O.C.A.E.); for example, to replace such disparate organizations as International Whaling Commission (I.W.C.), often lacking any authority, nor any effectiveness in conservation. It is not unreasonable, nor outrageous, to regard the care-welfare of animals (including plants, etc), as more important than humans, because ultimately with their extinction will follow ours. Not only as care-takers of this planet, but Humanity has the responsibility to the other organisms which inhabit this planet, who need not become extinct, either as a direct consequence of our intervention, nor because of natural events. What should we say to the future generations, if we allow a mass-extinction because of our stupidity?

Sentience Of Organisms: Custodians Of Evolving.

By sentience (Latin sentiens of sentīre, to 'feel') I do not mean the minimum capacity to 'feel', for example, pain, but instead conscious, as in self-aware, etc. A number of species appear credible candidates for an emerging sentience. For example, Chimpanzees demonstrate an aptitude for learning language, etc., such as reported by Trixie with Allen Gardner (1972) with their chimp Washoe using American sign language; co-operation in hunts for Red Colabus monkeys, etc., reported by Jane Goodall (1990); further a use of tools, including using twigs to fish for termites as reported by Jane Goodall (1971), etc.; insight problem-solving such as stacking boxes in order to climb up to obtain bananas, as described by Wolfgang Köhler (1925), etc.; Thomas Breuer (2005), reports upon a Gorilla's use of a piece of wood as a depth gauge as she wades into a swampy pool, in the Republic of Congo's Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park, as reported by "New Scientist", 8 October 2005. Orangutans as indicated by Charles Robert Darwin, when with the use of a mirror, an Orangutan kept in London Zoo, appeared to recognize itself in reflection. While Elephants demonstrate a remarkable memory for example of water holes; further co-operation, for example in digging a calf out of the mud; furthermore as recently reported in a News report (March 2011), that two Elephants when required to co-operate to pull two ends of rope, one will wait for the other before pulling the rope; etc. However amongst them the most remarkable group, hence best candidate for sentience remains the Cetaceans, particularly Sperm Whales (Physeter Catadon), Killer Whales (Orcinus Orca), Bottle-nose Dolphins (Tursiops Truncatus), Pan-Tropical Spotted Dolphins (Stenella Attenuata, Frontalis) stand out amongst others. Perhaps most indicative for Sperm Whales. When hunted by whaling ships equipped with depth-sounding equipment that could locate them, Sperm whales would swim to the deep scattering layer. A layer of mid-water fish providing an acoustic hiding place, making the whale invisible to the whaler's equipment. Further it often got reported in an earlier epoch that when sailing ships hunted Sperm whales, the Sperm whales would frequently swim into the wind. Indicating that the whales had realized that their pursuers could not sail to wind-ward, thus demonstrating an understanding of causal relationships in problem-solving. Whilst Orcas have become observed co-operating to create waves sufficient to top Sea Lions off ice flows in Antarctic waters, hence demonstrating social communication. Further in Argentina Orcas have become observed intentionally stranding themselves to catch Sea Lions, a technique that these whales teach their young. Yet surprisingly one such Orca got observed stranding itself in order to aid a Sea Lion pup back ashore, demonstrating altruistic 'behavior' other than that of humans. While the evidence for the sentience of Bottle-nose Dolphins appears the most convincing both extensive. Bottle-nose Dolphins have larger brains, though differing in structures, than humans, as reported by John Lilly, 1960s. Capable of devising contextual techniques for hunting, such as beaching on mud, after forcing fish on to the mud with a bow-wave as used by Dolphins at Hilton Head, South Carolina; "Crater Feeding", like those off the Bahamas, around Mikura Island, Japan; stunning fish with echo-location; "bait-balling", as reported by Kenneth S. Norris (1992) "Dolphins In Crisis", National Geographic; etc. Furthermore, demonstrates Dolphins ability to abstract ('think'), devise plans, etc. Using a sponge as a tool as reported by Michael Bright (2001), such that female Dolphins of Shark bay Western Australia, place sponges on the tips of their snouts, functioning to protect by covering the delicate snout when foraging among jagged rocks, corals, etc., against spines-both-stings of animals such as Stone-fish, Sting-rays, etc., hidden, when ploughing through the sand. Furthermore, the use of echo-location as a tool, akin to the recent reports of blind children who have taken to using clicking sounds in order to distinguish distance, composition of obstacles, etc. Demonstrated to communicate with each other with the use of recognizable names, as reported by Kenneth S. Norris (1992) on Randall Wells' research group at Sarasota bay Florida. Able to recognize themselves in a mirror, demonstrating consciousness of abstracting. Insight-full, capable of Time-Binging, as demonstrate by observations conducted by Ken Marten, Karim Shariff, Suchi Psarakos with Don J. White (1996), at Sea Life Park, Hawaii, upon a Bottle-nose Dolphin ring-culture, reported in Scientific American, August 1996; furthermore demonstrating a remarkable creativity in invention both play. Numerous, historical accounts of altruism of Dolphins, including a recent account in "The Cove" (2009), Channel 4 Documentary, whereby two surfers observed a Dolphin come darting in knocking a Shark side-ways, intent upon attacking them, thus saving their lives. Appearing very social, organizing in complex relationships, as reported by Denise Herzing (1996) of Florida Atlantic University, for example, mature Pan-Tropical Spotted Dolphins (Stenella Attenuata, Frontalis) intervening in others' disputes. Fulfilling my (1997) devised criteria for the Seven Characteristics of Sentience. However, both the Japanese, aswell as the Norwegians have continued their whaling. The Japanese cynically exploit a loop-hole in the International Treaty on Whaling, by continuing catching their quotas for the commercial market under the guise of research. The Japanese furthermore catch Dolphins not only for the International trade in captive Dolphins, but considered as pests, competing for fish, thus again cynically blamed for the decline in fisheries, never mind the intensive commercial methods used; let alone for the commercial trade in Whale meat, which Dolphins (though as Cetaceans, Dolphins remain apart of the family of Whales) are often falsely represented as, since not distinguished from other kinds of Whale meat on the market. Annually between September to March, thousands of Dolphins get slaughtered at Taiji, Wakayama, a fishing port on the South-eastern coast of Japan, as reported in "The Cove" (2009), directed by Louie Psihoyos shown as a Channel 4 Documentary. Though as Richard (Ric) O’Barry asserts, the fishermen remain largely motivated by the tremendous revenue generated for the town by selling some of the captured Dolphins to Aquariums, Marine Parks, Research Institutions, etc. While, another slaughter of Dolphins goes on annually on a Norwegian Faroe Islands. The Japanese resorted to catching-and-eating Whale meat during the shortage for food during World War II. However, though only a fraction of the population of Japan indulge in Whale meat, Dolphin meat furthermore gets falsely labeled as Whale meat, ironic since Cetaceans anyway; meanwhile cynically Japanese representatives argue that Dolphins-and-Porpoises are not the preview of the International Commission for Whaling, since the Japanese argue that Dolphins-and-Porpoises are not Whales. Meanwhile, both nations do not need to catch Cetaceans as a food resource, the Norwegian Islanders remain well-off enough to import from the mainland, indeed many known to own two cars for a relatively small sized Island; instead they appear to engage in this annual slaughter as a tradition. Whilst the Japanese further argue that while, "...we eat Cows, they eat Dolphins". However, the majority of Japanese, it appears, are unaware that Dolphin meat masquerades as Whale meat, while most particularly the young, do not eat Whale meat. Perhaps if known, the Japanese people might pressurize their Government to cease. Perhaps, if the Japanese people knew that particularly Dolphin meat caught off the coast of Japan, have shown high contamination with mercury, then the genocide of Cetaceans may stop immediately. Humanity's longing for other sentient species in the Universe to share the loneliness of consciousness, may not be so distant, nor so rare. We should rejoice in the growing sentience in other evolving species, not selfishly exploit whatever we can for a profit. Otherwise as a species, we do not deserve anything but extinction ourselves. Where perhaps more enlightened sentient species may arise to take better care for this planet. Where the welfare, conservation, research, etc., should become over-watched by an organization such as Diversity, Eco-System, Sentience Awareness, Conservation (D.E.S.A.C.).

Further to this I provide a draft constitution, for consideration, and ratification if accepted by the UEO, on behalf of the people of Earth.

Constitution-And-Bill-OF-Human-Rights.

The requirement for a Constitution ensures the procedural rules for the United Earth Organization (U.E.O.). Further to this, containing the Bill Of Human Rights, essential to ensure the protection of the individual, aswell as allowing clear consensus understanding when breached, again allowing the function of the UEO.
