Recovery plans
Established recovery plans and ideas for new efforts to assist in establishing ways to help make our world a better place for the future.
Fish/ Freshwater/ Oceanic Recovery
Fish hatcheries are one of the many ways you can help out within your community in bringing back stability within our environment and around the globe. Through aquaculture hatcheries work hard to support healthy and self-sustaining fish populations that can restore imperiled, sporting fish, and other overhunted fish populations. There are fish species at risk from extinction due to invasive species, pollution, overfishing, and many other factors. Helping out at a fish hatchery can help prevent misplaced efforts towards helping these creatures survive. If efforts have to be placed in other areas that further involve finding assistance, obtaining funding for things such as food, creating shelters, or maintenance on these facilities then that is less time spent on focusing on their health and survival. It is not nearly as simple of a process as one might think. Trouts and other types of fish have been known to kill themselves within concrete constructions due to some unknown factors that seem to make them go crazy. Things such as current flows, bio symbiosis, types of food, capture and release processes, educational assistance, and natural habitat restoration all play a major key in getting our fish populations at a safe and stable basis. Fish are responsible for feeding vast areas of the world and considerable amounts of wildlife that is just part of a large environmental chain that connects us all. Can you imagine waking up tomorrow to know that your favorite bird is gone or that some marine wildlife you once saw as a child will no longer exist because of our incompetence to help the world sustain our needs. We ask you to help out in the ongoing efforts to prevent such tragedies from occurring. Not only will this increase recreational and commercial fishing but it is part of the wealth we need to obtain to make sure everyone can have a meal rather than starve. To help these creatures is to help us and we will try to shed light on recovery plans as they unfold. If you do not have established fish hatcheries then here at Growagard we ask you to help influence your community in the assistance of providing such efforts or to help out in already established ones.

Environmental Cleanup
Cleaning up our environment may be the single most important recovery effort to help our planet become a better place. I myself have been guilty of such due to my lack of education in such topics and other factors that we tend to overlook. It's our desires that have created the largest impact on our environment and it's health. The stuff we produce and many of our actions result in the destruction of the habitats that our wildlife needs to be sustaining. Things revolving around the commercial and manufacturing industries tend to pump out mass loads of products that will destroy things in unprecedented ways with many of the owners of these companies and corporations still lacking the proper education to ensure our environments safety. There are well established organizations here in the United States and other parts of the world whose only mission is to focus on such issues. The simple fact that we are not these creatures puts us in awkward position of trying to know what they need in order to survive so even our assistance in trying to help them could result in a major consequences. Not assisting them will be even worse. By helping our environment cleanup and assisting our wildlife we can come to better understand what needs to be done sooner rather than waiting for when it could be too late. Almost the whole world knows at this point that environmental cleanup is an important issue that we need to address now. Admitting to our problems is the first step in trying to solve them. This is and will continue to be not an easy effort so I won't even act like it will be as just the maintenance of an already established idea will cost us considerable amounts of time and money. We can achieve great things through unity but it all starts with the individual and this has been shown since the dawn of time. I ask you all to help in educating others about maintaining and cleaning up our environment, improper waste disposal processes, helping to restore habitats back to where animals can live and sustain healthy populations in such areas again, and so many other things involved within or pertaining to the environmental cleanup process on this planet so we can all live better lives.

Forest / Land Recovery
Forest recovery is another major challenge that our world faces which contributes to a decline in our biodiversity, climate change, air quality, clean water sources, and has quickly developed into a human, economic, and environmental crisis. To have a healthy forest is to have a healthy human. Worldwide people depend on nutritious plants, meats, mushrooms, insects, and fish that all depend on having a healthy, self-sustainable forest habitat. They act as safety nets for when crops fail, animal farms can't produce their products, or for when natural disasters strike. Forest recovery is more than simply planting trees. Restoring and promoting the regeneration of the natural plant species and habitats is vital to having a wealthy, sustainable, and supporting economy. We used technology to maul down these landscapes to provide the food we needed/desired to grow bigger economies but at that time the technologies were not as efficient. Today, we could make new, more advanced farming technologies/ techniques to harvest the natural habitats as they should grow to provide a wealthier, happier economy. The emissions generated from the destruction of vast landscapes helps to contribute to many of these factors as well destroying the native plant, animal, insect, and mushroom species. Almost a third of all emerging infectious diseases are linked to land-use changes. We hope that you will help spread education revolving around the bettering of our planet and that you and those you speak to will realize the importance of being involved with environmental recovery efforts.
