Ameisenbär lebt im Cerrado

Der Ölmulti BP will 4 Milliarden Euro in Brasilien investieren, um aus Zuckerrohr Ethanol zu produzieren. Die erste Ethanolfabrik wurde bereits im vergangenen Jahr in Betrieb genommen, eine zweite befindet sich in Planung. Mit Ethanol lässt sich zurzeit viel Geld verdienen. Es wird Autokraftstoffen beigemischt, um als vermeintlicher „Bio-Sprit“ die Klimabilanz zu schönen. Die dafür benötigten riesigen Zuckerrohrmonokulturen zerstören in Brasilien die Savannen des Cerrado und bedroht die Regenwälder.

Questioning World Bank Palm Oil Funding and Forest Carbon Finance in Indonesia

By Rainforest Rescue, http://www.rainforest-rescue.org/ with Ecological Internet's Rainforest Portal, http://www.rainforestportal.org/ September 11, 2009

TAKE ACTION HERE NOW: http://www.rainforestportal.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=world_bank_indo_forests

Ombudsman report on 20 years of corrupt IFC, World Bank Group lending to the Indonesian oil palm industry casts doubt on Bank's fitness to manage international forest carbon funds that may emerge at Copenhagen climate talks. It is time for the World Bank to end finance of oil palm, sustainable forest management, paper pulp and other industrial rainforest developments known to be the root causes of deforestation, degradation and climate change. The Bank must permanently end financial support for these industrial developments impacting primary rainforests, or it is the wrong entity to administer forest carbon monies.

Malaysia is the world's leading rainforest destroying nation. Insist Malaysian authorities respect native customary land rights and boundaries of Penan's last remaining ancestral rainforest reserves; halt rainforest destruction in Sarawak for oil palm, pulp plantations and hydro-electric dams; and ensure rainforest destruction and abuse of indigenous rights by Malaysian companies end globally.

Demonstrierende Penan: Die Ölpalmplantagen bedeuten ihren Tod

Mit Blasrohren demonstrieren die Penan zu Hunderten im malaysischen Regenwald. An den Straßenblockaden der Ureinwohner im Dschungel von Sarawak kommt keiner vorbei, auch nicht die Polizei. Statt für Recht zu sorgen, dienen die sog. Ordnungshüter nämlich als Handlanger korrupter Politiker und skrupelloser Geschäftsleute. Die haben sich das Land der Penan unter den Nagel gerissen, um dort nach mehrmaligem Abholzen der Wälder endlose Palmölmonokulturen anzulegen. Die Polizisten mussten umkehren, um Verstärkung zu holen. Die Penan befürchten Ausschreitungen seitens der Polizei. (Start: 25.08.2009)

Auf den Holzfällerstraßen dringen Wilderer in den Wald ein

Nürnberg will sparen – ausgerechnet auf Kosten afrikanischer Regenwälder. Der Dienstleistungsbetrieb Öffentlicher Raum Nürnberg (SÖR) plant, die 3.500 Parkbänke der Stadt mit Latten aus Tropenholz auszustatten. Eine Testphase mit 200 Parkbänken läuft bereits. Tropenholz sei länger haltbar und weniger pflegebedürftig als die bisher verwendeten einheimischen Hölzer, so die Argumentation. Mit zertifiziertem Holz aus Afrika ließen sich in den nächsten 25 Jahren rund 11,9 Millionen Euro sparen. Doch im Regenwald gibt es von der versprochenen Nachhaltigkeit keine Spur, daran können auch Alibizertifikate nichts ändern. (Start: 21.08.2009)

Liberia's Plans to Resume Industrial Primary Rainforest Logging Already Plagued by Corruption as Samling Poised to Pounce

By Rainforest Rescue, http://www.rainforest-rescue.org/ with Ecological Internet's Rainforest Portal, http://www.rainforestportal.org/ August 18, 2009

TAKE ACTION HERE NOW: http://www.rainforestportal.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=liberia_logging_resume

The fact notorious illegal loggers Samling of Malaysia; who have devastated rainforests globally including those of the Penan, are surreptitiously in contention for Liberian logging contracts illustrates, despite decades of failed reform efforts locally and internationally, that the global industrial tropical timber logging industry remains irredeemably corrupt. There is no evidence first time industrial logging of primary forests is ever ecologically sustainable or reduces poverty. Please call upon Liberian President to pursue development based upon standing rainforests, and reject entirely the resumption of industrial logging.

Madang, Papua New Guinea's Mighty Ramu River Rainforests, Carbon and Peoples Threatened by Timber Mafia & Government Corruption

Let the Papua New Guinea (PNG) government know it must follow its people's wishes and end industrial rainforest destruction once and for all. Support local landowners in Madang Province and nationwide working bravely to end primary forest logging and pursue REDD carbon monies and other means to benefit from standing rainforests. The government cannot corruptly pursue both continued industrial logging and oil palm, and still expect to receive carbon market REDD payments for intact rainforest protection.

Major Swiss banks Credit Suisse and UBS are to further fund Golden Agri-Resources (GAR), the world's largest listed palm oil company, which currently produces 10 percent of Indonesia's palm oil. A further 1.3 million hectares of land are to be developed for palm oil plantations with Swiss finance on the island of Indonesia Kalimantan (Borneo) and in Papua on the Western half of the island of New Guinea. Let these banks and the Swiss government know that their financing of rainforest destruction and climate change is completely unacceptable and will be protested until it ends.

Knighting of illegal logger and carbon market corruption plague Papua New Guinea's (PNG) attempts to receive carbon money for protecting rainforests. Let Prime Minister Somare, and England's Queen and Prince of Wales, know PNG climate and biodiversity protection under UN REDD carbon markets requires an immediate end to industrial primary rainforest destruction by logging and oil palm.
