Should social media portals be used to promote nature protection, including, among others, protection of natural biological ecosystems, protection of biological biodiversity, reclamation and restoration of biological ecosystems, development of green areas, afforestation of areas degraded by industrial development?
New, online media, including social media portals, should be engaged to promote the need for development of ecological activities, including the need to protect and develop forests and other issues related to environmental protection, protection of natural, biological ecosystems. Due to the progressing global warming process, with ever-emerging climatic disasters and weather anomalies, with increasingly drought, shrinking arable areas and areas of natural greenery, there is a growing need to increase expenditure on nature conservation and reclamation of areas devastated by human development of civilization .
As the importance of social media portals as sources of information is growing among children and adolescents, these portals of new online media should be used to promote the idea of developing pro-ecological activities, the necessary development and implementation of ecological innovations into economic processes, development of renewable energy sources, excellence in waste segregation techniques , resignation from the use of non-biodegradable plastic from packaging, in addition to activation for the development of recycling, development of organic farming, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from various production processes, to the development of electromobility, nature protection also in urban parks, and also to promote the idea of area development forestry, afforestation needs of areas degraded by the development of industry and protection of natural sites of biological ecosystems, such as ecosystems of rainforests, including, among others, the largest areas natural forest ecosystems, i.e. rainforests of the Amazon. To this end, social media portals should be increasingly used.
In view of the above, social media portals should be used as key marketing tools in planning and implementing social campaigns that promote the need to protect nature, including natural bilogic forest ecosystems, but also others, such as urban park ecosystems, for example, putting houses for birds and for insects , resignation of grass till the flower meadows needed for pollinating insects, etc. It is also necessary to also promote the protection of aquatic ecosystems, ie ecosystems of rivers, lakes, seas and assessments, which are increasingly polluted and also change biologically under the impact of the ongoing global warming process. Social media portals should be used to promote the need to implement sustainable economic pro-ecological development based on the philosophy of transformation of the classical economy in green economy into economic processes.
Of course, one of the most important elements of the necessary proecological reforms is also the need to protect natural clumping ecosystems, the need for their reclamation and reconstruction in the areas devastated by industrial development and the need for afforestation development both outside built-up areas and in urban agglomeration areas. This type of necessary pro-ecological activities should be promoted on social media portals. The state should finanate this type of social campaigns conducted in new online media, in particular in social media portals. Apart from state institutions, also various non-governmental organizations, social organizations should run such campaigns on social media portals, because such social campaigns conducted through social media portals using viral marketing instruments do not have to require the involvement of large financial resources.
Do you agree with me on the above matter?
In the context of the above issues, I am asking you the following question:
Should social media portals be used to promote nature protection, including, among others, protection of natural biological ecosystems, protection of biological biodiversity, reclamation and restoration of biological ecosystems, development of green areas, afforestation of areas degraded by industrial development?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much
Best wishes
Yes by all means! make people aware of our actual problem in nature conservation this is the first step towards any action (individual/collective) to promote nature conservation and do not expect that our politicians are going to be more successful than you!
yes means yes in all efforts , since most of the peoples puts their time on online media and their products , so that it is advisable to put awareness videos in those things with attractive promotion so that it can lure their attention
Certainly, various social media portal can play vital role for promotion of natural conservation.
It is an excellent idea to use such portals for natural conservation.
Certainly, social media should be used to increase awareness about nature conservation. It will have more impact to the mind of general people.
If your target audience uses that channel of communication to consume that type of information, then ”yes.” If you are simply using social media to unskillfully shotgun messages without proper adaptation, then “no.”
Agree with Tapas Chatterjee.
I believe social media have far greater outreach and thus should certainty be used (as one source) to promote
nature conservation. In fact, why social medial alone? Any medium which may be successful for this promotion must be used for utmost priority of nature conservation.
definitely. Social media is a large platform to raise awareness about issues existing in society and environment. Generally people use social media greater than magazines and newspapers. Messgae through social media carries more weightage and reaches general public easily.
Social media is a tool which can be effective in communicating environmental/nature issues, especially when the material is driven by facts, not by inflammatory material. I believe that readers/users are intelligent enough to understand when material is dishonest or politically driven. Posts which use links to respected sources can contribute to both understanding concerns- and delivering the "eyeballs" needed to spread awareness of an issue.
Sure, but there is a right way and a wrong way to promote via social media. Posting a news article about an environmental issue is NOT very persuasive.
Along with the link, explain 1) What the issue is, 2) Why it is important, and 3) What you want readers to do with respect to the issue.
Why not? They are used for promotio of everything and anything, so why not for nature conservation.
Certainly media portals have a lot of role and responsibility to promote nature cobservation.
I am glad that there is agreement on the above issue regarding the possibility of using social media portals to promote the idea of nature protection and the principles of implementing sustainable pro-ecological development. Most people answer this question in the affirmative that social media portals should be used for social campaigns, for the promotion and propagation of important ideas, which also include issues related to the need to protect nature, reclamation of a degraded natural environment, etc.
In the context of the above considerations, the following key questions arise:
- Should commercially operating internet technology companies running social media portals receive orders from government and public benefit institutions for social campaigns?
- What kind of institutions should finance social campaigns on the Internet?
- Should there be more social camapanias on the Internet promoting the need for nature protection, reclamation of a degraded natural environment, principles for implementing sustainable ecological development, implementation of ecological innovations, carrying out ecological reforms in accordance with the green economy philosophy, etc.?
- How should effective social campaigns be carried out to promote the need for nature protection?

Social media must promote natural conservations by mass awareness and educating common people importance of this global issue.
Indian national TV channel have a programme on Krishi Darshan through which they are making aware Indian agriculturists, farmers about different methods , problems etc of agriculture and also making people aware about natural conservation. A very good social media programme.
