101 East - Final Forests - 16 Oct 08 - Part 1

[012564528001]

Big thanks to the Al Jazeera for this first hand piece of awareness. I'm grateful that such issues had been and now addressed on a very professional manner, let alone the failure to address it in time. It is notable to acknowledge the said alternatives and government strategy in counteracting these socio-economic realities. Political instability, corruption and failure to engaged in sustainable development will always be the co-factor of people giving away land for logging.

I'm a Malaysian, and I want to apologize to all Solomons resident as well as to the world and Mother Earth.

I'm sorry.

I know an apology dont mean anything nor do anything, but I.. really dont know what else can I do.

I cant even save my country and my country is killing life and world. It really hurts me a lot knowing that.

I'm sorry, that we exist and for what my country have done.

I'm a Malaysian and that is why I must apologize to all Soloman's resident.

I'm sorry.

I know too that an apologize don't mean anything and don't "do" anything. But I really don't know what else can I do.

I've been to the Solomons 3 times, spending a total of 12 weeks there. I travelled extensively around Santa Isabel Island. For sure the locals are being ripped off by overseas logging companies. But this video totally misrepresents whats actually going on. The Solomons are mostly very steep mountainous islands, vulcanic in origin. Much of the country is simply too steep to be logged. Simply flying in to the capital, Honiara, from Australia you will see just how steep this country is.

[Nasauame]

where are the poloticians of solomon islands.

Help this poor country.

Solomon islanders them selves have never seen this clip. spread this out in the solomon

[pfanasia]

The Politicians are corrupted aswell

Good News! Swift Timber - aims of the eco- timber project are to reduce logging opera tions in the Solomon (Western) Islands by enabling the traditional landowner groups to say 'no' to offers from logging companies, too assist village groups in earning a good cash income based on sustainable forest resource management, all while meeting the need for tropical timbers for those willing to pay an eco-premium for sustainably harvested wood.

Thank you Al Jazeera for reporting issues that wold otherwise go unnoticed

The report is not the truth of Solomon Islands' forests. Al Jazeera is an ideological biased machine, and for whatever reason, they are now making it seem that the forest 'is running out', whereas the locals, whom the channel usually ignores totally, are given just a few words on film, not presenting their full stance, but what seems to suggest, that they are not living an acute crisis. Reject this blind out of control bureaucracy of profit making through the commodity of news.

" a tragic plunder is taking place. Logging by mainly Malaysian companies has escalated in the last five years to more than 3 times the estimated sustainable yield. In other words the forests are being logged at more than three times faster than they are growing. In less than ten years all the productive lowland forests will be logged. ...a diversity of people who customarily own and rely on the forests are under threat."Google it, all agree w/ AlJazeera, everyone except YOU!

Social norm is a proprosturous excuse for a proof. How do you like them apples?

When the rain comes the soil will be washed away and all that will remain is desert. That is the fate of the Amazon, Africa and Indonesia.

[wcarlpdrysdale]

rain will be your concern, but not the way you think!

convection will "push" away the rain.

check out the "guano" mining islands!
