Work: I have developed keen interest into research on areas of agriculure, ecology and Afforestation / Reforestation Clean Device Mechanism (A/R CDM). I have developed some premature research concepts on; 1. Economizing Unproductive Grassland Area in E.H.P, 2. Modifying Traditional Fallow Farming Technique with siutable secondary tree species to improve Industrial Plantation Soils Nutrient Deficiency Syndrome (- approach to lower input of artificial fertilizer-cost & environment factors associated with) 3. A/R CDM & REDD are broad tools of the Climate Change Initiative. Much advocation on this was put on by the government. At biletral level and national level investment climate for carbon sinking may deemed O.K. However, the 80 % of owners of customary land & resources still has not been tubed into a viable mechanism that would ease their interest in the voluntary participation procurement of the project. I belive a clear mechanism has to link rural people as far as Local Level Government (LLG) level, endoresement for intersted ILG's intending to do projects as to get giudance and government at least at that level initially than up to the national offices.On to that the broad AR-CDM & REDD concepts has to be modified to siut local context and climate while ensuring that the escence of it is still intact. I appreciate if we could colleborate togather,

Dear Tine,I have created a group for "Ecology communication" inside the Research Cooperative. If you would like to look (and perhaps join), please go here:
The Research Cooperative - for better communication

Thanks very much for joining.When I was in Kokoda last year, I could see two related problems - a vast expansion of oil palm monocropping that must be depleting the soils quite rapidly; and complete lack of suitable infrastructure for dealing with effluent from immigrant workers, local villages, and hordes of walkers entering the valley at the start or finish of a walk on the Kokoda Trail. I wonder if the plantation company could profitably establish a collection and treatment system that turns the 'waste' into a valuable compost for the plantation, while helping to maintain hygiene and water quality in the valley?Have other plantation industries supported local recycling efforts? There may be win-win opportunities that are being missed in PNG and in all countries with industrialised agriculture.Peter
