TROM

trom@social.trom.tf

This project argues that trade is the origin of most problems: from climate change to slavery, waste and pollution, corruption, crime, you name it. And if we understand the cause, we have a chance to come up with realistic solutions. We backup up these claims via documentaries, books and videos that are freely available for everyone.

Can Rewilding Save This Megacity From Cyclones? videos.trom.tf/w/jj9GTdHmSN1Ai…

In Chennai, a megacity of over 11 million people, floods and cyclones are becoming more frequent.
We came here to help plant urban forests, restore lakes, and rewild parts of the city — using nature to reduce flooding and protect communities.
But when the cyclone Ditwah arrived, the city was put to the test.

Nobody Talks About This. But Raptors Are Dying Every Day - videos.trom.tf/w/atoW9hxs4viTN…

This film follows my volunteer work with a raptor conservation team. Many Saker Falcons, eagles and other raptors die from electrocution on unprotected power poles. In the field, we search for carcasses, collect data, and identify dangerous poles so they can be isolated. There is also a rescue center and an experimental aviary testing safer designs. This is how science can protect wildlife.

We spent 3 nights in the Freezing Alps to Save Wolves

We volunteered to spent 3 nights and 4 days in Swiss mountains to protected flock of sheep from the wolf. Or actually to protect wolves. Because if wolves will attack sheep they will be hunted and killed. So we don't want that to happen, that's why we went to Switzerland to join OPPAL mission.

I posted this comment on the video itself but will paste it here in case you @Dima see it:

Very well made video Dima!

I did not understand the "solution" part. There was a guy who was planting a crop with all of the other plants, so no herbicides. But how can you harvest that on a big scale? Also how about invasive species when you dont control for that?

Also wouldnt it be better instead of 3D printing that thing for bees, with plastic, to use wood?

Great job overall!

Why 99% of Glass Eels are Gone and How We Can Save Them? - videos.trom.tf/w/rXaJVsRtHBJGE…

Yet another example of people doing a lot of hard work, for free, and for a good cause. Imagine if more could be involved to do such acts. We need to take care of people, in order for people to not destroy the environment, each other, and to have time to restore what was destroyed.

Help people, to help the world.

The problem is that once a species has disappeared, it's gone forever - you can't bring it back, rewilding lobby or not!

What do yo mean you cannot bring a species back? Aren't there plenty of such examples?

Hortobagy National Park has many other conservation concerns to (try to) deal with

Can you give me more info about that?

Also I'll tag @Dima in case he wants to reply.

@tio @sober_pirate I don't think we're talking about the same thing.
When a species becomes extinct, well, that's the end of it. It's too late.
When a population of a species has disappeared, it's possible to reintroduce it, using individuals from elsewhere, on the express condition that the causes of its local disappearance have been eliminated.
The Auroch is an extinct species, although we're tinkering with backwards selection

in reply to bellule 1 year ago

I see what you mean. I am unsure how they define an extinct species here - maybe they mean a species is extinct from a particular environment, or all natural environments, but still exists in captivity. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinct_…

For sure I agree that if the causes of extinction are not dealt with, reintroducing it is probably not going to work.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurochs I see what you mean.

@tio @sober_pirate Aurochs is extinct species. I don't think anyone disputes that

in reply to bellule 1 year ago

Yes that's why I shared that wiki page. Maybe @Dima can have a look and change the description of the video to better reflect what these people are doing there. In the video you can see they say that they are not bringing back that extinct species videos.trom.tf/w/hWHgC7izkZzmu… but a breed.

Not just a book.

@Sasha has released a big big book: Big World Small Sasha. Available here as trade-free bigworldsmallsasha.com/book/ - or you can buy the paperback version from the same link (there is no other way to provide it for free in that format).

Why is this book important and how is it related to TROM?

It is a wonderfully written book about her experience on this planet, and how she grew a mind to understand what's this society made of, what is our role in it, and how much we depend on the natural world. It is about the destruction we are causing, but also the so many wonderful people that exist out there, who care and do something about it.

All of that is perfectly layered wi

Why is this book important and how is it related to TROM?

All of that is perfectly layered with her adventurous adventures, some of which are hard to believe, others are so funny and fun. You can see her grow in this book, to become who she is today.

Sasha talks about this trade based society quite a bit, about the notion of trade-free, and also about TROM.

But,
If you think the book is about Sasha, you are wrong.
If you think the book is about hitchhiking and traveling, you are wrong.
If you think the book is about this trade-based society, you are also wrong.
It is about all of these, and more. Dialogues, funny stories, a wonderful way of painting with words, Sasha did a fantastic job!

And after some 5 years of intense work, emotional roller-coasters, and being quite broke, she is brave enough to put the book for free online. No ads, no data collection, no subscribe here to read. No bullshit. If you appreciate that please support her.

So this is not just a book, it is an experience of living in this society and a unique way at looking at this society. A more real overview. It is also a neat and engaging way to introduce people to projects like TROM, and overall to make people question the status-quo.

Sasha is part of our small TROM team and she took part in our TROM II documentary as a lioness roaring facts and truths :D ! tromsite.com/documentaries/tro…

Go read her book, and enjoy her wonderful stories!

We think that it is important what people say not who they are. For example most content is created by me, Tio. I have no "formations, professions etc." but all of the content I did is very well sourced. Every claim I make it is sourced and in a way that it is super easy for anyone to check.
