– The Sustainable Conservation Goals of Will Legend

Safeguard the Last Pure Land on Earth

Human survival is inseparable from pure water, food and air. Glaciers conserve clean freshwater resources, and water nourishes land with rich nutrients. Water then follows rivers and merges into oceans to let the ocean breathe. Oceans exhale oxygen, and absorb the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide to let the glacier cool, glaciers maintain a balance of accumulation and ablation, stabilize the planet’s temperatures, enable sustainable water resources, and foster biodiversity and food crops in urban wildlife corridors. This recurring force of nature ultimately allows the health, peace and prosperity of humans and nature to develop sustainably.

Land occupies about one-third of the Earth. It is the source of human life, and the cradle of human civilization. Only by taking good care of this precious pure land on the Earth can the future of human beings and nature be sustainable. Land (pure land) and clean water are essential elements for nurturing forests. Forests cover nearly 31% of the global land area, and are home to more than 80% of land animals, plants, insects and other species. With the development of cities and agriculture, the decline of forest ratio and the increase of carbon emissions, the balance of nature has been destroyed, seriously affecting the terrestrial ecosystem, causing climate warming, increasing pollution and the disappearance of species.

Willy Bee and Flowery Travel Through Time and Space to the Earth’s Third Pole (Chapter 1: Land and Food)

“You will experience a magical journey, and Flowery Delek will be waiting for you in the forest full of sunflowers!” The wind carries the message from nature

The story begins on Earth in 2050, when global climate change triggers crises such as water, food and air. As the climate crisis causes rising temperatures and sea levels, the Earth is also starting to suffer from “illness”. The reason is that all things and creatures on Earth are closely linked to each other. Once nature loses its ability to balance, humans will find it difficult to remain immune. Because of the accelerating glacier melt, decreasing snow cover, and increasing permafrost thaw, water flowing from mountains are more erratic and uncertain, it is almost impossible to find fresh water resources; marine pollution has caused the extinction of fish, coral reefs, phytoplankton (marine microalgae) and whales, and the Earth is filled with greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, making it impossible to breathe clean air; the land is polluted to the point where there are no forests, food can no longer be grown, and life is almost extinct, and the Blue Planet will no longer be seen.

At this time, Willy Bee Tashi, who grows up in a hidden oasis in the south, senses the call of the power of nature, asking him to take the “Green-blueprint” and Flowery Delek to embark on the “SDG 2030 Glacier, Land and Ocean Journey”. Their first stop is land. After arriving, they search for the Third Pole glacier-bees and the Tianshan black-bees. With their help, using the power number 520 to open the “food” life seed, and promoting the construction of “Urban Wildlife Corridor” in cities as “Home for Bees” to support the sustainable development of the beekeeping industry. “Urban Wildlife Corridor” connects sustainable cities and communities, keep pollinating insects such as bees with “Sustainable Health”, and travel between “Sunflower Biodiversity Station”, cities, forests and the Third Pole, improving agricultural production and increasing forest regeneration and biodiversity.

“Glaciers, land and oceans draw up the “Green-blueprint” to protect the most important elements of human life – water, food and air, and build a livable Earth. This is a revelation from God to me!” said Willy Bee Tashi

“Bees provide us with food, medicines, even help keep our planet healthy and beautiful. We must remind the human beings on the blue planet to moderately take natural resources to develop the economy, and then give back to nature and society with economic achievements.” said Flowery Delek

“I must remind humans on the Blue Planet to “Love Nature, Love Community and Love People Around Us”, promote multiculturalism to build ethnic integration and inclusive communities, and contribute to the health, peace and prosperity of humans now and in the future.” said Willy Bee

Finally, with the help of the power of nature, Willy Bee and Flowery return to the Blue Planet of 2020 through time and space. Willy Bee takes courage and spreads his wings to start the journeys with Flowery to find the 1.5°C–Key of “Greenhouse Cooling Patch” to solve climate change. They hope to awaken humans to take action to protect nature by planting the seeds of life (water, food and air), re-enter the heart of nature, promote sustainable development between humans and nature, and protect the endangered Earth.

The next journey for Willy Bee and Flowery is the ocean, where they will encounter rare marine creatures.

Notes

  1. “Green-blueprint”: Glaciers, Land and Oceans draw the “Green-blueprint” of Will Legend. Will Legend supports the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through the “Green-blueprint Initiative”
  2. SDG2030: The “United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” offers a universal, integrated, transformative and human rights-based vision for sustainable development, peace and security, which is applicable to all people and all countries, including the most developed
  3. Land: Land occupies about one-third of the Earth’s surface. It is the source of human life and the cradle of human civilization. Only by properly protecting this precious piece of pure land on Earth can the future of mankind and nature achieve sustainable development. Forests cover nearly 31% of the world’s land area and are home to more than 80% of land animal, plant and insect species
  4. “Food” Seeds of Life: 75% of food crops are grown with the help of pollinating insects such as bees
  5. Power Number 520: World Bee Day 20 May
  6. Sunflower Biodiversity Charing Station: Provides a natural charging station for pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies by using sunflowers as the pollination source
  7. Sustainable Health: Sustainable Health Service™ Reduces 96.7% Carbon Footprint™ and promotes ecological balance, ensuring the safety of people, bees and butterflies (pollinators), and implementing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal SDG3 Good Health and Well-being. Service can be applied to air conditioners, sofas, and carpets; offices, conference rooms, staff rooms; farms, gardens, cultivated areas and green belts, to practice sustainable environment and green (eco) living
  8. Climate Change: Refers to long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 19th century, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas
  9. Greenhouse Gases: Greenhouse gases are naturally produced and can block some sunlight from being reflected back into space, making the Earth’s temperature habitable for life. They are essential for the survival of humans and millions of other species. However, as population grows, economies develop and living standards improve, total greenhouse gas emissions also increase. Carbon dioxide (CO2), the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, accounts for about two-thirds of its total volume and is mainly produced by the burning of fossil fuels
  10. Biodiversity: The Convention on Biological Diversity is a legally binding international treaty with three main objectives: the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of biological diversity and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the use of genetic resources. The overall goal is to encourage action to build a sustainable future
  11. 1.5°C–Key: Under the Paris Agreement, countries agreed to significantly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to ensure that the long-term global average surface temperature increase is kept well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C
  12. Greenhouse Cooling Patch: “Green-blueprint – Greenhouse Cooling Patch SDG7™” supports green development, green economy, green financing (climate financing), new energy industry chain and clean energy to reduce carbon emissions and respond to climate change
  13. Urban Wildlife Corridors: Will Legend is the founding organization of the “Urban Wildlife Corridor” Conservation and Education Programme

Urban (City) and Wildlife Merge into One,
Weaving the Music of Nature

“Urban Wildlife Corridor” (green corridors) refer to the planting of flowering plants in or around cities, including green belts, country parks, forest parks and nature reserves. “Urban” refers to human habitats, “Wildlife” refers to nature, including forests, and habitats of living things, “Corridor” refers to the bridge which connecting nature (forest) and city (humans) together. The protagonist who breathes life into the bridge between humans and nature is the familiar docile and hardworking little bees.

More than 90% of wild flowering plants are produced with the help of pollinating insects, such as bees. It is because this pollination process regenerates forests and breeds plant diversity. Because of the vigorous development of plant diversity, it has created the habitats required by different living things, achieving an important element for the sustainable development of humans and nature – biodiversity.

Forests purify soil and water for the land. They also act as “natural air purifiers” for humans and other creatures, filtering the air in the atmosphere. Clean soil, water, and the help of little bees – “nature’s master pollinators,” have transformed into more than 75% of the food crops that humans rely on to survive, which is food for more than 8 billion humans.

Through protecting “Urban Wildlife Corridor” to increase the forest coverage area, thereby effectively coping with climate warming, and maintaining the balance of the natural ecosystem. Will Legend believes that only through the integration of humans, society, economy and nature can we achieve a balanced coexistence and maintain health, prosperity, and sustainability for humans. Glaciers, pure land and rivers cooperate to become the nannies of various creatures on land, providing activity space, habitats, water sources and food.

Walking into the Heart of Nature and Sounding the Melody of Nature

By safeguarding and increasing forest ratios to create a balanced ecology and diversity of life, especially for terrestrial living things. Forests play a very important role for humans and the environment. They can maintain pure land, conserve water sources and purify the air (release oxygen). Forests also make a great contribution to overall carbon reduction (absorbing greenhouse gas carbon dioxide). In addition, they help deal with greenhouse gases. It can be said that forests are human beings’ natural “Greenhouse Cooling Patch”.

“Urban Wildlife Corridor” is the bridge connecting humans (city) and forests (nature), and they are also the cradle of biodiversity! Flowering plants are used to support pollinating insects such as bees, and then these industrious bees shuttle between forests, green corridors and cities, spreading the seeds of life to the pure land. On one hand, this improves the quantity and quality of agricultural production, maintains a livable climate and ensures human survival; On the other hand, forest regeneration supports biodiversity, and promotes the sustainable development goals of humans and nature.

“Urban Wildlife Corridor” Dancing with Forest

“Urban Wildlife Corridor” can be a national reserve areas and parks; small gardens in residential areas and potted plants on terraces; school gardens or rooftop green areas; sky gardens in commercial buildings, potted plants on exterior walls, and green areas on rooftops. ; green areas at transportation stations, mini oasis on the tops… As long as we can imagine, any place can become a place where humans and nature coexist.

Starting with planting flowering plants, we can create “Urban Wildlife Corridor” (natural charging stations) in different corners of the city. These charging stations will then become natural highways, shelters, and food sources for wildlife, and then pollinating insects and wildlife can use green corridors as a way station to travel back and forth to their original habitats, feeding grounds, breeding grounds, or perform seasonal migrations, injecting vitality into forests, wetlands, lakes and etc., ultimately practicing green corridors, and dancing with forests together.

Build a Cradle of Ecosystem, Nurture Biodiversity

Biological diversity resources are the pillars upon which we build civilizations. Fish provide 20% of animal protein to about 3 billion people; Over 80% of the human diet is provided by plants; As many as 80% of people living in rural areas in developing countries rely on traditional plant‐based medicines for basic healthcare. The United Nations established the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (also known as the Biodiversity Plan) with the purpose of promoting the belief of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. It is hoped that different countries, organizations, and sectors can support the implementation of diversity in their own ways.

Safeguard the last piece of pure land on Earth, let the glacier cool, let the ocean breathe, run through the pulse to wildlife corridor, draw a “Green-blueprint”, build a cradle of ecosystem, nurture biodiversity, make human health and prosperity sustainable. Will Legend protects glaciers and water resources, food and biodiversity, marine ecology and clean air through the Glacier, Land and Ocean Programmes respectively.

Regarding biodiversity, it is easier for the public to understand that there are many types of plants and animals, and a large number of microorganisms are included. But it turns out that real biodiversity also includes ecosystems such as glaciers, rivers, forests, lakes, deserts, grasslands and oceans. To put it simply, all species on the Earth are interconnected. Each ecosystem has different connections, interactions and influences, and in the end, a beautiful Earth can be achieved.

Let Urban Wildlife Corridor Start, Cool The Earth Down

The increasing emissions of greenhouse gases caused by human activities have led to global warming. The situation is like covering the Earth with a quilt, preventing heat from being reflected into space, causing the Earth’s temperature to rise. Currently, we are experiencing unprecedented rapid climate warming due to human activities, such as the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels. As the temperature rises, the Earth also begins to suffer from “illness”. The reason is that everything, and all living things on the Earth are closely intertwined with each other. Once nature loses its ability to balance, humans will not be able to survive alone.

Will Legend “Green-blueprint – Greenhouse Cooling Patch SDG7™” supports green economy, green financing (climate financing) and clean energy, reducing carbon emissions and responding to climate change. Will legends also supports the Belt and Road Initiative to cooperate with developing countries, especially in developing green energy industries (such as solar, wind and hydropower projects, and digital management to increase the proportion of renewable energy generation), agricultural production capacity and ecological construction cooperation, helping traditional industries to achieve green and low-carbon transformation, transforming them into green industries and building sustainable business models. At the same time, we also strongly advocate green enterprises and industry chains to deeply participate in the ESG work of society and the community, on the one hand, to practice corporate social responsibility (CSR), on the other hand, to achieve the policy of corporate economic sustainability, jointly accelerate the green forwarding process, enable the world to reduce carbon emissions faster, achieve the “3060” carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, and promote and promote sustainability of humans and nature.

Will Legend supports the three UN “Rio Conventions” as important cornerstones for addressing the climate crisis. In celebrating the 75th National Day, it also means that our country’s power generation capacity continues to rank first in the world. In 1949, the annual power generation was only 4.3 billion kilowatt hours. Today, the figure has reached 9.5 trillion kWh (over 2,000 times growth). What is even more amazing is that renewable energy already accounts for one-third of society’s electricity consumption. As the largest country in photovoltaic power generation, and wind power installed capacity, our country’s development of green energy is an important measure to deal with global warming and climate change. Will Legend believes that plans organized and led at the social and community levels can be implemented more effectively. Through glacier, land and ocean conservation and education programmes, we connect different sectors to take actions to jointly respond to the pressing global challenges, so that the public and next generations will pay more attention to the “Health” of the Earth.

Will Legend – A Journey to Safeguard Green Corridors

Through school tours, Will Legend has visited secondary, primary schools and kindergartens in many districts to effectively implement the goal of “Education and Promotion” through the community. Tashi Willy Bee, and Dele Flowery who were born from the “Urban Wildlife Corridor”, are serving as the sustainable ambassadors of the programme. In addition to helping to promote the “Green-blueprint Initiative”, they also lead the public, especially the next generations, embark on a journey to protect the green corridors.

The first green corridor tour is located on the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees north latitude. There are national forest parks, and migratory bird reserve. In different seasons, there are different flowering plants. The blooming flowers work with the green energy on the island to cool the Earth, and the little bees buzz hard to pollinate nature, help forest restoration, and more importantly, improve the harvest, and quality of human food. The forest conserves pure soil and nutrients, and flows into the “South China Sea – 350 The Blue Ocean” through clean fresh water to provide food for various marine life, allowing the ocean to breathe. The oceans exhale oxygen, absorb the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, allows the glaciers to cool down, and preserves clean water resources that humans and creatures depend on. Clean water sources once again nourish the land, giving birth to “Urban Wildlife Corridor”, biodiversity, and important food for mankind.

Nan’ao Island National Forest Park

The Nan’ao Island National Forest Park is located in the western part of Nan’ao Island, also known as Yellow Flowers National Forest Park. It is the first national forest park in China that is situated on a sea island. With mountains on one side and facing the sea on the other, it boasts beautiful scenery, abundant natural resources, and an extremely favorable ecological environment. The forest park currently has more than 30 attractions within 5 major scenic areas. There are 6 main forest roads and 6 simple roads, with a total length of 33 km. Additionally, there is a forest trail spanning 181 km and 7 hiking trails. 3 forest stations, 1 observation deck, 1 fire prevention depot, 6 parking lots, 1 visitor reception center, and 5 visitor service points have been established.

With the goal of constructing a forest ecological tourist area, the park actively protects and improves the ecological environment while also preserving and developing unique products and experiences related to the forest. Currently, the park has constructed 4 natural education experience sites (Dajian Mountain, Jiujian Mountain, Shike Mountain, and Bai Gui Shou Yuan), 3 natural education rooms, and 2 natural education corridors. It has been selected as the “Guangdong Province Natural Education Base”, “Guangdong Province Forest Health Base” and “National Forest Village” in 2023.

Tropic of Cancer – National Forest Park Green Corridor Journey

“Urban Wildlife Corridor” connects nature’s forests and human’s cities, and ultimately practice the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. By organizing Green Corridor SDG&STEAM™ educational tours and ESG&ClimateAction™ corporate & organization research trips, let the public aware of the importance of coexisting with bees and other wildlife. Will Legend and the Nan’ao Island National Forest Park Management Committee have joined forces to launch the nation’s first “Urban Wildlife Corridor” conservation and education programme. Together with corporate, organizations, teachers and students to explore the Nan’ao Island National Forest Park, located above the Tropic of Cancer.

The island’s forest coverage rate reaches 92.3%, actively promotes green and clean energy, ecological construction and forest regeneration. The unique climate environment has created biodiversity. Facing the ocean (South China Sea), the forest is born from pure land and fresh water, fully demonstrating the integration of land and oceans, and practicing coexistence of country, forest, city, wild and green corridor, promoting the belief of symbiosis among humans, society, economy and nature. Will Legend advocates the use of green energy as a “Greenhouse Cooling Patch”, organizes inspections of new energy facilities (smart energy), including land and offshore wind power construction, and learns about STEM green-smart energy popular science experiments to practice sustainable green living.
