Bombed: The Effects of War
on the Environment
|
| (PhotoDisc) |
By MARC LALLANILLA
The natural environment has been a strategic element of war since the first rock was thrown by the first
cave dweller. The armies of ancient Rome and Assyria, to ensure the total capitulation of their enemies, reportedly sowed
salt into the cropland of their foes, making the soil useless for farming -- an early use of military herbicide, and one of
most devastating environmental effects of war.
But history also provides lessons in eco-sensitive warfare. The Bible, in Deuteronomy 20:19, stays the hand of the warrior
to minimize war's impact on nature and men alike:
When you besiege a city a long time, to make war against it in order to capture it, you shall not destroy its trees
by swinging an axe against them; for you may eat from them, and you shall not cut them down. For is the tree of the field
a man, that it should be besieged by you?
War is waged differently today, of course, and has widespread environmental
impacts that last far longer. "The technology has changed, and the potential effects of the technology are very different,"
said Carl Bruch, co-director of international programs at the Environmental Law Institute in Washington, D.C.
Bruch, who is also the co-author of The Environmental Consequences of War: Legal, Economic, and
Scientific Perspectives, notes that modern chemical, biological and nuclear warfare has the potential
to wreak unprecedented environmental havoc that, fortunately, we haven't seen -- yet. "This is a great threat," said Bruch.
But in some cases, precision weapons and other technological advances can
shield the environment by targeting key facilities, leaving other areas relatively unscathed. "You could make the argument
that these weapons have the ability to minimize collateral damage," said Geoffrey Dabelko, director of the Environmental Change and Security Program at the Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C.
