I am new to this Agenda 21 concept. But I dont get the dead zones or those red zones being off limit to human activity by reason of being radiated or poisoned.

I have spent decades hiking and camping in the USA and I dont even need labels to identify the red zones. I can instantly recognize the national parks/forests, the grand mountain ranges, the great riverine systems, lands knowns for great aquifers underneath them and so on. These must be protected from human development for sustainability reasons.

For almost 100 years a large portion of the Adirondacks have been off limits to humans. Note the large red circle in upstate New York. I have backpacked there and happened upon a tall and formidable security fence that made it very clear that there was to be no trespassing in this part of the park. I couldnt understand this being inside a public park open to recreation. I later learned that the fenced off area was the source of drinking water for the metropolitan NYC area. Unless coming thru delapidated local pipes, New Yorkers get to enjoy a high quality drinking water

What with population growth, dramatic changes in climate and perpetual war, we humans will have to rely on these protected areas. The military has declared the diminution of potable water as becoming one of the greatest sources of conflict in the future. China is already experiencing serious freash water sources and is pumping pristine waters out of Florida's aquifers as fast as Nestles will sell it to them. Water will become a resource as precious as oil and gold.

Having said all this, I cant explain preservation of desert lad from a water perspectie but all the other lare red areas make sense to me.

There is no water shortage or global warming. It is a farce to scare us into allowing them to control us

isnt earth 2/3s or 3/4s water, 90% being salt water? The issue is not amount of water, its the amount of potable fresh water for human consumption and crops. Well water and aquifers in USA were contaminated for decades with Stronium 90 following our land based nuclear testing even as far away as the eastern half of USA due to nuclear dust drifting eastward. Yes it is a problem.
