I have written about the speaker, Willie Smits, and his incredible work in sustainably replanting the rainforests in Samboja Listaria before. It was in connection with the RTR09 fundraising campaign that I was volunteer blogging for at the time. I had watched this talk that time but I didn't start the TED Tuesday till much later. So today I'm sharing that fascinating talk with my readers. And also a few words from my previous post about him,
What made Dr. Smitts stand out as different from others for me was his reaction to the audience’s claps when he mentioned that there were a 1000 Orang-utans in the conservation centre he ran. The audience found this an impressive achievement and began clapping. Dr. Smitt immediately interrupted, “No, no, no! Wrong!!! This is an indication of our failure to sustain their natural habitat.” This told me that here was someone who really cared about the ecosystem and not about his achievements in saving it.
By piecing together a complex ecological puzzle, biologist Willie Smits has found a way to re-grow clearcut rainforest in Borneo, saving local orangutans -- and creating a thrilling blueprint for restoring fragile ecosystems.
If my readers go back about a couple months into my blog archives, they would find that I participated in a campaign as a volunteer blogger. The campaign is 'Replanting the rainforests' (RTR09) initiated by the EcoPreservation Society and TreeBanking LLC as a 10 year project for sustainable replantation of rainforests around the globe. The first phase of this campaign finished a few days after the Earth Day (22nd April 2009). Now we're gearing up for a more forceful second phase and the bloggers are teaming up. The facilitator of the online presence and influence of this campaign, Linda MB Hughes, is spotlighting one blogger each week on her blog. I started this blog post category in order to post the links to all 'Twitter mate of the week' posts on Linda's blog each week as one consolidated post on my blog. I have done this so far for two previous mates, Sandip Sen and Radiance (yours truly).
However, we're deviating a little from the pattern this week. The reason for this is that TreeBanker (Dan Tefft) has featured on Linda's blog earlier. However, recently he was unfortunate prey to some technical glitch over at Twitter, which made his 25K-follower strong account disappear. So he was featured once again in order to get the word out about his (and his partner, Jocelyne Grzela-Tefft's) other whereabouts on the web2.0. So click on the link above, read about them and their raiforest replantation projects and become a part of our team!
Update: I would like to point out a very pleasent recent development that Dan's original Twitter account, that had disappeared mysteriously some days back, has been restored just in time for this post. YAY!!!

So far I’ve written 11 blog posts for the ‘Replanting the rainforests’ (RTR09) campaign by Eco Preservation society that aims towards sustainable management of replanted rainforests. The campaign started about 3 weeks back with the aim of raising $100K towards the abovementioned goal and culminates 4 days after the Earth Day on 26th April. The material I wrote about touched upon various aspects of the campaign ranging from why there is an urgent need for action, what are the methods employed for sustained management of the replanted forests and what other conservation projects (saving near-extinct species) it will support. There is much more that can be written about the topic of conservation and its need.
The importance of the rainforests to our planet cannot be justified enough. They’re the lungs of Earth in a reverse sense that they absorb about fifth of the carbon emissions pumped out by humans. Creating “dis-incentives” for tropical deforestation will help sustain those forests which in turn will help us combat the rapid climate change that the planet is experiencing currently. In spite of all the benefits the planet and humans have from them, rainforests are in crisis today. The reasons for deforestation are varied and their plight is grave. People predominantly grow commercially viable plants, like Palm trees for their oil, in the rainforest area which disrupts the balance of this delicate ecological system. Fate of some really unfortunate forests, like those of the Amazon, is now deemed irreversible. The green house gases emitted by our industrialised civilisation are making the matters worse. The scientists are now conceding that the Earth is most likely facing the 6th mass extinction which will see almost half of the known species of flora and fauna disappear in the next century.
However, all is not lost yet if we wake up on time and take action. We need to find solutions to the problems we created on this beautiful planet. And more and more people are coming up with some great solutions. Replanting the deforested areas is one of the solutions that have been around for a while. However, what is needed is sustainably managed rainforests which will only be possible with the involvement of locals in the affected areas. Important people like the Prince of Wales are now involved in this process and making the populace sit up and take notice. There’s also some hope for the Amazonian rainforests after the scientists revised their estimates of ‘irreversible fate’ for them. However, all these projects can only go ahead with sufficient financial support. It is important that ‘we the people’ start taking an initiative and provide strong financial support for such work. Instead of depending on a few thousand politicians and bureaucrats around the world, let us, the rest of the 6 billion, take action. $10 from each one of us will ensure a huge investment for our future on this ‘little blue planet’ while not asking too much from us. Give a gift of $10 (using the Chip-in widget in right hand column on my blog or RTR09 website) to your planet and secure your and your children’s future! Lets reach the mark of $100K in next 2 days and show our solidarity towards our world.
Planet Earth, your children and I thank you profusely for your contribution!
Continuing on from last two days, today we come to the last segment that gives overview of the 2009 Earth Day pilot projects undertaken by EPS. Each of the projects is connected to the critical issues identified and employs unique methods to achieve the goal.
· Reforestation of Borneo rainforests for saving the habitats of endangered Orang-utans · Reforestation in Costa Rica (Playa el Rey) to provide adequate habitat for its endangered Mono titi monkeys · Reforestation in Belize rainforests to save the Jaguar habitat
Hence all three projects will employ similar methods, such as Tree avalanching, ecological forestry etc., to achieve slightly different goals. The basic idea behind these reforestations is to give back the endangered species their habitat. Loss of favourable habitat is one of the foremost reasons for dwindling numbers of these species. Hence, RTR 09 campaign aims to raise $1M by Earth day (April 22nd, 2009) in order to undertake sustainably managed reforestation at these locations around the world. It is called ‘Give a gift to your planet’ because this is the least we can do to present something valuable to our mother Earth on her birthday, the Earth day. So I sincerely request all my readers to donate at least $10 each toward this great cause. This will also be an investment for your children’s future!
Yesterday we saw what critical issues have been recognized for RTR 09 that need urgent attention. The one needs to invent or research methods that will help improve the conditions. Eco Preservation Society (EPS) has managed many successful campaigns/projects using their distinctive methods for years.
· The main focus of RTR 09 (and all EPS reforestation projects) is sustainable management of permanent rainforest habitats. This is different from other reforestations which do not have a long-term goal of sustaining what has been planted. · In order to save majority of the rainforests exist today, locals in Papua New Guinea have been introduced to ‘ecological forestry’ and educated in the benefits of rainforests to the planet and to themselves. Involvement of locals is essential in long-term sustainability of the ecosystem. · Tree avalanching has been described as “the financial engine to reforest the planet” and is a technique regularly employed by EPS for rejuvenating the rainforests in crisis. This approach redirects the financial revenue from reforestation towards multiplying the resources and acquiring more land for forestation. · One of the great examples of how our ancestors had knowledge that can be a solution to problems today is the rediscovery of Biochar/Agrichar technique. This carbon-negative soil-enhancer was used in the ancient El Dorado to raise crops in a naturally mineral-poor soil.
Each of the above mentioned methods are unique in their own sense, very different in approaching the problem and finding the solution. These methods have been effectively used in many areas by EPS. Tomorrow I will give you a brief overview of some of their projects. I’ve already introduced you to them individually in my earlier posts. But this time you will get to see the coherent, whole picture.
So far I have written in detail about various aspects of the Eco Preservation Society’s (EPS) Replanting the Rainforest (RTR 09) campaign in each of my posts for last couple weeks. However, along with the details, the “big picture” is also important. I think that is especially true about RTR 09 because when one puts all the pieces of these various projects in various countries together, does the real importance and uniqueness of this campaign become apparent. Therefore, for the next three days I’m going to give my readers an overview of three essential aspects of RTR09 that make the campaign complete.
First important feature is identifying the critical issues that need urgent attention. Since the ecosystem all over the world is so out of balance today that numerous places, species and environmental attributes jump to ones attention. However, eventually one has to focus on only a few of them at a time and improve those. It is vital to make unique choices as choosing to work on something that’s already being taken care of is waste of resources (which are limited when it comes to eco-conservation projects). A key element to RTR 09’s reforestation program is that they have targeted their projects to locations that have an essential need in terms of expanding critical wildlife habitat. I’m listing their projects below and placing the links for interested readers to follow them up. The variety of locations and species incorporated in these projects show the true worldwide extent of the campaign.
Once the issues that need to be worked on are identified, next step is to invent or research methods that will help improve the conditions. EPS has successfully done so for many years and that is the topic of tomorrow’s post.
My last couple posts about 'tree avalanching' and 'ecological forestry' are concerned with what goes on above the ground. Today’s blog post is about soil conservation and regeneration. And not just that but also about one of my other favourite topics, ancient knowledge. Our ancestors invented and used Biochar, charcoal created by heating biomass (plants) under low oxygen conditions, to enrich their agricultural land by carbon sequestering. Biochar enhanced soil, called Terra Preta (dark Earth), has been found in vast areas of the Amazon basin, Ecuador, Peru, parts of West Africa, the South African savanna and late Roman Britain. And after 2500 years, it is still regenerating the soil it has been added to! Slash and burn policies so prevalent and destructive in topical rainforests around the globe could be easily converted to sustainable practices that end deforestation and create rich pockets of fertile land. This land will not only produce abundant crops, but will create “sinks” that draw carbon from the atmosphere to clean the air and minimize methane and nitrous oxide emissions from the soil. The article and the video on RTR09 website explain the production and working of Biochar (or Agrichar as it is called in modern day soil scientists). If you are a farmer or just anyone trying to neutralise their carbon footprint in Australia, the video gives some pointers to Agrichar productions plants and people who have successfully used them here.
There is also a 45 minute BBC documentary from the series Horizon, called ‘the secret of El Dorado’, the video of which is embedded on the Eco Preservation Society’s blog. It tackles the much-asked question, was El Dorado real?, from a different perspective. Based on the current research, scientists have deemed the central Amazonian soil to be inappropriate for serious agriculture. Without intensive agriculture how would there be a large civilisation? However, the video unfolds the story of Clark Erickson, who found unnatural criss-cross lines and isolated mounds of forests with signs of large, permanent human habitation in the Bolivian savanna. These were agricultural lands of the ancients, boosted by use of Biochar, to support civilisations of thousands of indigenous Amerindians. There have been conferences on the usefulness of Biochar lately and people have started taking notice. However, a lot needs to be done before politicians would start taking notice of this wonderful, ancient, carbon-negative (not just neutral) technique as one of the steps towards countering global warming.
Due to the major demand for tropical hardwood, millions of acres of rainforests are being razed to ground every year. The perpetrators of this crime against the Earth and the humanity are only concerned with short term profit. Hence they never take time to replant what they have destroyed. Some are slightly more considerate and grow tree plantations that are planted with only one type of tree over and over again. They are not real forests due to their lack of biodiversity. However, the Eco Preservation Society tells us about a systems for harnessing that demand in a way that benefits the rainforest and the communities within them. Ecological forestry in Papua New Guinea and Willie Smitt's work in Samboja Lestari are a couple of illustrious examples. Another one, “Tree Avalanching, is a simple but powerful concept of leveraging the value of harvested trees to buy more land and plant more trees. Instead of pocketing the profits from the sale of SUSTAINABLY harvested hardwoods, we use the profits to buy more land, create more jobs, and plant more trees.” To read more about this reforestation technique and about various other eco-conservation projects undertaken, please visit the websites of the Eco Preservation Society and their Replanting the rainforest campaign.
There are also a few very informative and thoughtful articles contributed by various people on the RTR website that deal with various aspects of rainforests and their benefits to the planet. I'm simply giving the links here and highly recommend my readers to follow those links for more.
I’m back with information on some more incredible ecological initiatives to share with you. As I continue blogging for the RTR09 campaign, I keep on coming across newer and newer people and organisations dedicated to conservation of nature. And I keep thanking myself for taking up the volunteer blogging opportunity :). Today’s post is about an ecological forestry project in Papua New Guinea involving the locals and empowering them. A small post on Eco Preservation society’s blog introduced me to it. There is a 10 minute video that summarises the project and brings you face-to-face with the people that made it happen. In the 80s, Papua New Guinea had the largest surviving rainforests in the southern hemisphere. However, the multi-national logging companies were quick to move in and 90s saw the most reckless logging activity in these areas. The laws were ignored, ecology was disregarded and people robbed of their promised monetary compensations. Then a volunteer organisation from Australia made its appearance and over next 11 years, it strove hard and succeeded in stopping the logging and preserving the rainforests. The organisation was Rainforest Information Centre (RIC) that trained the locals in ecological forestry, provided them sawmills and made sure the MNCs didn’t get a foothold in the area. The ecological forestry was based on the fact that if the locals used sawmills called “wokabout mills” to log their own timbre, they only logged a small portion and hence didn’t damage the ecosystem. Also, the timber produced earned the loggers higher monetary rewards than what the MNCs were offering them. Hence the locals preferred wokabout logging, in turn saving the forest. So like vaccine introduces the disease on smaller scale to prevent large scale infection, logging a few trees ecologically prevented devastating deforestation. The Earth and the earthlings, both were happy!
The logged trees were also replaced by replanting the new ones. With major commitment and contribution from locals like Sasa Zibe, a method for replanting the trees that mimicked the natural forest was developed. This made sure the ecological balance was maintained. After 11 years of dedicated voluntary work, RIC has now transferred the responsibility to the able locals like Sasa who even today carry on in their footsteps, making the forests richer. To give the locals a sense of achievement, a very traditional graduation ceremony is held at the end of training. The spectacle of this ceremony makes a very interesting ending for a well-made video :).
When I visited the RTR09 website today, it was a pleasant surprise to see the donations being bumped up by a $1000 with just one more contribution. I hope the blogging campaign will bring exponential growth in awareness and contributions in the days to come.
There has been a lot of effort put into raising people's awareness about the issue of climate change. The issue presents itself under many names, global warming, deforestation, carbon footprint, extinction of species, to name only a few. Whatever the name, the aim of all these awareness campaigns is to educate people in what we have been doing to this planet and now, what we need to do in order to keep it in a state of supporting life. RTR09 is one such campaign that promotes 'sustainably managed replanting' of rainforests. Because unless we are able to sustain the regrown plants for a long time, they're going to be logged for wood and fuel again and again, making all reforestation efforts futile. Also, it is very important to replant the right kind of trees in a given area. They need to be suitable for that particular climate and soil. Therefore, planting economically profitable plants, like palm trees, in place of grzed-down rainforest is not going to be helpful. Well, it might be helpful for humans in short term but definitely not for the environment.
There isn't much time for us to get our act together and get it right. We must act NOW, which might already be too late for some parts of the world. A study presented at the Copenhagen conference suggests that eventhough we might be able to keep the temperature rise to 2 degrees Celcius, that will still irradicate 20-40% of Amazonian rainforests! Let us sincerely hope that we learn our lesson NOW and make sure the whole world doesn't go hurtling along an irriversible path of ecological disaster.
Today's blog is going to be sort of brief. This is because I sort of jumped the gun by writing a blog on 30th March, Wish you planet a happy birthday on Earth Day, which introduced my readers to the 'Replanting the rainforest' and 'Give a gift to your planet' campaigns. Well, turns out that these are the topics for today's blog according to the campaign schedule :). So ...... follow the links above, go to my previous blog and read about these initiative by the Eco Preservation Society on the occassion of Earth Day (22nd April).
Also, if you liked (or should I say, were tremendously impressed by) Dr. Willie Smitts sustained reforestation efforts in Samboja Lestari, about which I wrote yestrday, then here's some more of his discussion about the Orangs and rainforestation.
Have a green day! Oh, and don't forget to donate for RTR09 (upper right corner of this blog).
I cannot say how glad I am that I decided to be a volunteer blogger for the RTR09 campaign. If I didn’t, I don’t know if and when I would have come across this great example of nature-care and dedication that is the Samboja Lestari rainforest project started and taken to success by Dr. Willie Smitts. Dr. Smitts is conservationist who works at the complicated intersection of humankind, the animal world and our green planet. His early work in Indonesia as a forester educated him in the interdependence of these three biospheres. The irresponsible encroachment of humans onto the rainforests and orang-utans’ habitat inspired him to take up the tough task of leading a sustained reforestation project. The Orang-utans, whom he calls “thinkers of the forest”, are intelligent species with ability to think, reason and emote like us. He chose an area, Samboja Lestari, in east Borneo which was ecologically much deteriorated and would need a lot of thought, work and dedication to bring the reforestation to fruition, literally. This was done with the purpose of demonstration that if this area can be reforested, any area can be.
Willie Smitt recently gave a talk at the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference. I was able to watch the video of this talk through the RTR09 campaign website and it was one of the most impressive talks I’ve ever heard. What made Dr. Smitts stand out as different from others for me was his reaction to the audience’s claps when he mentioned that there were a 1000 Orang-utans in the conservation centre he ran. The audience found this an impressive achievement and began clapping. Dr. Smitt immediately interrupted, “No, no, no! Wrong!!! This is an indication of our failure to sustain their natural habitat.” This told me that here was someone who really cared about the ecosystem and not about his achievements in saving it. There are many such and more impressive things about his talk. I can’t list them all here so I’d strongly suggest you watch and listen to him for yourself.
In an unjustifiably short summary, the forest in Samboja Lestari, reduced to wasteland by slash-and-burn agriculture of the locals was resurrected by their own efforts under the able guidance of Willie Smitts. He gives the details of how ‘a recipe’ for sustained reforestation was developed, giving reasons for choosing certain plants and trees to be planted at certain time. It is a very educational presentation. The focus was on imitating the nature and creating ‘multi-layer’ ecology, with different species of trees instead of ‘monoculture’. Locals were educated and involved in this process which led to sustainability of the forest. Samboja Lestari is not only a vibrant ecosystem, with numerous birds and animal species thriving, but is also a climate-changer and rain-machine for the nearby area. Temperatures have dropped, forest fires declined significantly and a permanent rainfall zone created around the area. The locals have adopted a “democratic” control system to ensure no further logging takes place in the forests. It is a truly inspiring story of what us humans can do for the planet (and therefore, for ourselves) if we are determined and dedicated.
There are four kinds of great apes, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orang-utans, on this planet. Only the orang-utans originate from Asia whereas the other three are from Africa. The orang-utans, whose name in bahasa Indonesia literally means “man of the forest” (orang – man, hutan – forest), are now found only on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. The species has become extinct or near-extinct in rest of the south-east Asia. Programmes like Borneo Orang-utan survival (BOS), with foreign finances and local manpower, are trying to save as many of these apes that share 97% of its DNA with us humans. Orangs are intelligent animals with ability to reason, think and display emotion much like humans. But these primate cousins of ours are on the brink of extinction owing to our reckless hunger for timber. 300 football fields worth of rainforests are destroyed every hour in the hunt for the resources to be used in and as food, oil, fuel etc. Measures like the moratorium on logging imposed by Indonesian government are much needed. But the only long-term solution is for people themselves to become aware of the consequences of their actions and restrict themselves.The RTR09 project developed by the Eco Preservation Society is implemented in conjunction with BOS Foundation. With help of locals, the BOS carries out projects like the Nyaru Menteng project that features in the Orang-utan diary on BBC2 showing from March 1. The sustained replanting of the Borneo rainforests over the next 10 years will much help in boosting the number of Orang-utans in the area and hence stop the species from becoming extinct. Let us do our bit in looking after the planet and its other habitants. This will only mean that we are helping ourselves to a better future.
Recently us earthlings celebrated the Earth Hour to remind ourselves of our responsibilities towards the planet. A much older initiative to conserve planet Earth was started in 1970 by Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, in 1970. It is the Earth Day which is observed every year on 22nd April. Various people and organisations around the world have been organising events to spread the word about the much needed eco-conservation. This year the Eco Preservation Society has developed the ‘Replanting the Rainforests (RTR09)’ program and is implementing it in conjunction with Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, Rainforest Trust and TreeBankingLLC. They have initiated a fundraiser, Earth Day Birthday (EDBD) gift to our planet, with goal of raising $1.0M by April 22 which will be used for replanting and sustained the rainforests. This is not another reforestation programme that replants the trees and then leaves them to be cut down by loggers again. This programme is about sustained forestation taking place over next 10 years. I am participating in this campaign as a volunteer blogger to spread the word around. So for next 22 days, I’m going to bring my readers information and stories of various eco-preservation projects and initiatives from around the globe. The main source of these stories is going to be the RTR website. So I sincerely request my readers to visit this website and get to know more about how you can help the planet (and therefore, ourselves). Also, if you want to make a donation to the fundraiser, there is a widget in the right-hand column of my blog for you to do so. The SocialTrafficInc channel on YouTube has an interesting competition going on where people can share their ideas about how they will save $10 (only!!!) for gifting those to our planet on its birthday (Earth Day). It might give you some ideas of your own on saving for the planet (for a change)!
