OBJECTIVES OF OUR ASSOCIATION

We find ourselves in times of a global paradox, where human beings live in times of great scientific advances that predict a better quality of life, but at the same time, they are the main predator and enemy of the environment, to the point that with Their irrational actions, motivated mainly by an excessive ambition for wealth and power, are causing a sustained and progressive increase in global temperature, which directly impacts ALL living beings and threatens the very existence of life on the planet.

Actions such as the excessive use of fossil fuels, the systematic destruction of forests, the uncontrolled and unplanned growth of agriculture, as well as the development of highly polluting industries, are causing an indiscriminate increase in greenhouse gases. (CO2, carbon dioxide, among them), and consequently, an increase in the earth's temperature (global warming), which accelerates the melting of the poles, causing greater volume of water masses in the seas, disappearance of civilization from the coasts of the globe; the increase, with more frequency and intensity, of meteorological phenomena such as; intense rains, droughts, floods, very high ambient temperatures, landslides, forest fires, etc.,

This increase in temperature in the seas has caused the gradual disappearance of species of algae; thus depriving our planet of the formidable mechanism of its capacity to absorb and store excess carbon dioxide and enhancing the greenhouse effect, which causes the heat to increase more and more species of algae to disappear, thus generating a hellish process feedback that destroys the food chain of marine species.

Similarly on earth, the increasing climatic changes in the seasons and the increase in major droughts and floods alter the reproductive cycles of plants, directly affecting the life of all fauna, in addition to destabilizing the productive processes of the agricultural and livestock economies and their subsequent production chains, and therefore, the global economy, considerably threatening the quality of life of the planet's inhabitants, with the poorest populations being the ones who suffer these calamities most severely.

Particular cases are those we are experiencing in the Latin American region, with the prolonged and intense droughts in the countries of the southern cone and the increasingly greater and continuous rainfall in the Andean countries and Central America.

Due to the very serious magnitude of the events described above, because of the looming disaster and because of the harmlessness of the actions taken by regional and international organizations with the competence to confront them, a group of Venezuelan patriots, deeply concerned and aware, decided establish a non-profit civil association, called "Association for Sovereignty, Integration and the Environment, APROSIMA", whose general purpose is to contribute to the fight against "Global Warming". To achieve this we have proposed to comply with three (3) areas of action, which we present below:


1) Carry out an exhaustive investigation of the causes and effects of climate change, both through our own field work and through institutions: universities and organizations that converge with ours towards the same goal. The main objective being to raise awareness and incorporate young sectors.

2) Massively disseminate information about climate change in all possible strata of our country, both academic, political and social, through publications, seminars, presentations, publications, content on social networks, etc.

3) At first, our scope of work will be concentrated primarily in our country, but the idea is that the results of our efforts are made known and shared by the Latin American and Caribbean community. To do this, we will seek to interact at the regional level with Universities, Research Centers, Institutions, Governments and Civil Associations of other Latin American countries, in order to carry out joint activities, such as publications with continental scope, competitions to reward research work, regional forums, etc
