Comments on: Harapan Rainforest Project – a response from RSPB http://www.redd-monitor.org/2009/10/14/harapan-rainforest-project-a-response-from-rspb/ news, views and analysis about reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:47:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Nigel Miles http://www.redd-monitor.org/2009/10/14/harapan-rainforest-project-a-response-from-rspb/#comment-7150 Nigel Miles Wed, 14 Oct 2009 09:29:14 +0000 http://www.redd-monitor.org/?p=3071#comment-7150 At last a hopeful structured response to an issue which has to succeed. REDD in its current form will not. Forests and forest communities in and around such panoplies have to control the SEEBif Initiative which I have been proposing since the production of my paper at Oxford this year. sSuch conflicts will continue throughout the tropics if the usual subjects and their cronies in respective Government Departments understand the integrative need of the forests themselves...unfortunately they do not. When any so called projects like Harapan on Sumatra and Heart of Borneo are funded ultimately by consumers in the G8 nations it beholds us to know where our finding is being directed. A massive educational initiative which is being proposed within SEEBif will promote the real response needed not the nonsense situation associated with REDD. In reality the government proposers of REDD should be ashamed of themselves to allow the situation to continue along lines of apocalypse which will happen unless it assimilates the aims and objectives in the SEEBif Initiative.
