JK? Digest no 13 of December, 06 [345 of 2006] World Oxygen Networks  (WON)


Now this letter is published in the forum of Daily Express, we should put our acts together.


Pay the poor nations to keep their trees

There is a pressing need that we have more suitable trees on earth to provide us with required amount and quality of "oxygenised" air when the remaining forests especially rain forests around the world are still felled for various reasons like economy, social and political needs.

I had brought up this initiative at the latest BBEC 5th International Conference after this thought was inspired by the BBEC 4th International Conference where I learned that we need at least 1 billion mature trees for the survival of the 6.5 billions on earth. How many such trees do we still have on the earth?

I have also shown the urgent need of such nature trees in my latest book titled " Biodiversity Challenge - haze health hell"

The proposed initiative of 21st March, 2006 (after BBEC4) in World Oxygen Networks (WON) would need a few good dedicated sponsors especially concerned NGOs assisted by big companies or charity foundations for the ground work of this project with international dimension to design the system.

World Oxygen Networks (WON) is to be linked to other rainforests regions in the world.

We must do it through the United Nations or UNESCO or UNDC.

The rational is that nothing is FREE.

Water used to be free but people took it for granted. Now treated water is scarce and costly and likely to be scarer even in our State. Actually warring over water is ongoing in some regions of the earth.

Why should air or oxygen be FREE any more, when so many countries in the world do not have trees. They must wake up to the reality. By the way, how much of global budgets annually had been incurred for the procurement of armament including nuclear and bio weapons of mass destructions for conflict near and far.

Why should we pay for the very expensive fuel to pollute us further when these countries so rich is getting FREE air and Oxygen? Industrial rich countries can contribute to this WON.

We must be paid to keep the trees for the world otherwise the world (poor countries to cut more trees) would not have trees when the fuel price is so high. Reasons to cut trees for survival cannot be tolerated any more or many would perish. Professor James Lovelock said that global heating would reduce the population of 6.5 billions to 500 millions. (DE 2/12/2006)

. That is the reason for the WON, and a feasible project and I estimate that the whole project is worth an annual budget of at least US$120 billions shared amongst the countries in the Tropical zone.

Only WON can help to keep those Mature trees alive and standing when Tropical zone can find the good reasons to keep them for mankind in a damaged earth with increasing size of many new deserts. Sabah (to avoid the begging scenario as brought up at BBEC5) and once a great timber producer as illustrated in my new book should take the leading role in this WON, when the new secretary general of UN comes from a Won country.

Some 70 dead in Asia floods

Nearly 70 people have been killed and 200,000 forced to flee their homes in flash floods that have swept through parts of Indonesia and Malaysia in the past week, officials said today.

In Indonesia, the death toll has risen to at least 61 and hundreds more remained missing after torrential rains battered the island of Sumatra. More than 110,000 people have been displaced in Aceh province, devastated by the 2004 tsunami.

Officials in Malaysia said seven people had been killed and nearly 90,000 others were forced to evacuate their homes in the worst floods to hit the country in decades.

Villages in Indonesia's Aceh province have been swallowed by flood waters up to eight metres deep following a week of torrential rains as meteorologists said the rainy season was reaching its peak across Sumatra.

"We have not been able to evacuate more victim's bodies since this morning. The number so far has been 60 bodies from Aceh Tamiyang district," Ghufran Zainal Abidin, the local chairman of the Prosperous Justice Party, told AFP from the worst-affected area.

"The Aceh Tamiyang area is surrounded by water and the only way we can get around is by boat," said Abidin, who is helping to coordinate the flood relief effort.

Entire villages have been washed away in Aceh Tamiyang, where the flimsy houses were built from bamboo and wood.

"I have received reports that Limo Mukur village has been washed away by the current and we have not found residents of that village," provincial spokesman Nurdin Joes told AFP.

Hundreds missing

Earlier, officials said hundreds of people had been reported missing in the district. The local capital Kuala Simpang was still cut off from rescue teams, Abidin said.

The floods have also forced tens of thousands to flee their homes and take refuge in state-run camps.

North Aceh deputy district head Nasruddin told AFP "one person was killed, four reported missing and more than 110,000 people fled their homes in North Aceh."

The army and Indonesian Red Cross were rushing in aid supplies. Authorities feared the death toll could climb further, as rescue crews had not yet been able to reach some affected areas.

In other parts of northern Sumatra, water levels continued to rise as heavy rains showed no sign of abating and a dam had burst. The main roads connecting provinces of West Sumatra and Riau are cut off, Kompas daily reported Sunday.

Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla has blamed illegal logging in part for the deadly floods, and pledged that the government would intensify its efforts to replant the forests.

The need to survive lead some nations in this world to sacrifice their precious natural resources such as tropical forest hence contribute to the 'Green House' effect. It is wise for the developed countries to aid poor countries in preserved the tropical forest esspecially in the South East region and the Southern Americans.

rich countries including Arabs countries without trees should do something seriously now.
