It grows quickly and doesn&#8217;t take too many nutrients from the soil, easy to harvest, and cheap. In Africa, papyrus is used as a fuel source in many places. When the papyrus ceased to flourish, people started cutting down the perennial trees to make fires, further contributing to ecological degradation. Bringing papyrus planting back to scale will stop people from burning the trees and reuse easily renewable papyrus as energy. T<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-extra-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000\">oday, on banks of the Nile, many residents still use papyrus as burning energy. In addition, papyrus is also a raw material for many daily necessities. People use papyrus to make mats, brooms, fishing gear and other common life and work items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-extra-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000\"> See <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/referenceworkentry\/10.1007\/978-94-007-6172-8_207-1\">Sustainable Use of Papyrus from Lake Victoria, Kenya<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/04\/energy-daily-1024x769.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-317\" width=\"652\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/04\/energy-daily-1024x769.png 1024w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/04\/energy-daily-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/04\/energy-daily-768x577.png 768w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/04\/energy-daily.png 1258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 652px) 100vw, 652px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000;font-size:clamp(18.959px, 1.185rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.255), 30px);line-height:1.1\"><strong>Wetlands,<\/strong> <strong>Climate, and Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-css-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#000000;color:#000000\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Papyrus Swamps\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H3Ev3-YWEBk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Countries across the Nile Basin are facing the issues of water use. Cities on the lower Nile often receive water that is polluted by cities upstream. The use of Nile water largely affects the foreign policy of Egypt towards upstream countries. wetlands have good ability of purifying water bodies. The existence of papyrus wetlands are able to reduce pollution and purify water bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Papyrus plant also has a very strong ability of carbon sequestration. Papyrus grows quickly and has a massive root system. Its below-ground debris compartment can attain 20 times the above-ground biomass. [14] Papyrus is an ideal carbon sequestering plant. If overcultivated agricultural land can be restored to papyrus wetlands, the land&#8217;s ability of handling gaseous carbon will be greatly improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In ancient times, the wetlands of the Nile could even support large animal populations like hippos and crocodiles. If the papyrus wetland can be revived, it will greatly restore the original ecological habitat of many kinds of animals and plants. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Farmer and painter Said Tarakhan, 60, draws on papyrus sheets at home.
