Urban Greening

Reforestation in the broadest sense is all the power to restore, maintain and improve land conditions in order to produce and function optimally, both their function as water or environmental protection. There is also a saying that the greening of the city is an effort to green the city by implementing the management of city parks, neighborhood parks, green lines and so on. In this urban greening is an open space-filling activities in the urban areas. In the process of photosynthesis of green plants take CO2 and took the role of C6H12O6 and O2 are desperately needed living things. Therefore, the role of green plants are needed to capture the CO2 and release O2 back into the air. In addition, various metabolic processes of green plants can provide various functions for the needs of living things that can improve environmental quality.

Social and Economic Aspects of Iron Wood (Ulin)

Ironwood tree or ulin is one of Borneo's original strong famous and durable and has many benefits. Based its privileges until today to find ulin activity or work of building materials from ulin still on going, and sometimes uncontrollably. Ulin exploitation activities which resulted in uncontrolled ulin potential has decreased drastically. If the remaining can only be found in abundance in the forest areas protected or conservation areas in the hinterland far from the settlement. The condition now shows that ironwood is increasingly scarce and difficult to obtain due to the exploitation that has done well is not controlled by local communities or by other parties. This leaves a deep concern about the scarcity of our ulin for worse that no attempt regeneration or rescue efforts undertaken significant.

Productivity Enhancement of Tropical Forest

Increasing forest productivity declines with increasing rate of deforestation, illegal logging and conversion of forest land. While demand for forest products continues to increase along with the rate of population growth and industrial property. This causes the imbalance of supply and demand of forest products. The supply of forest products is closely related to the productivity of forest, if you want to increased the supply of forest productivity should be increased.

Current forest condition decreased their productivity along with reduced forest area. According to the results of arrange to utilize the agreement forest, Indonesian forest area recorded 143.57 million hectares. But within 20 years the forest area of Indonesia lived 109.37 million hectares.

Maintenance Technical Guidelines Closure Through Seeds

Materials and tools required :

Polybag size 10 cm x 15 cm, media planting: topsoil (humus), compost and sand (2:1:1) (no chemical fertilizers), bamboo for making shield (depending on size of shield), plastic clear (to shield), duct tape, wrist straps.

Site Selection

Location seedbed should be in the shaded area (under the stands). Avoid placement of the seeds are directly under the hot sun. If there is no adequate shelter stands, can be installed shading net with the percentage of 50-75% (shading not placed directly above the shield). Location should also close to the water source.

Save Our Forest to Action Protect Climate

The countries with the rate of deforestation in the world such as Indonesia, Brazil and Congo became the drivers of gas-emissions of greenhouse gases and accelerate the impact of disturbed climate change we have felt. Indonesia is losing forest faster than countries in the world other owners. Indonesian forests decreased 1.8 million hectares per year, placing Indonesia ranked third emissioner state gas-greenhouse gases in the world. Deforestation is the main source of emissions of Indonesia. Until now, Indonesia has lost three-quarters of its natural forest area (about 72%) and from this amount 40% has been lost at all.

Curing Disease But Not Symptoms

Settings on Indigenous Peoples, can be inferred from the two assumptions set out. Firstly, the possibility of indigenous peoples do a series of activities inside and outside the forest area with a potentially damaging, or sustainability of forest ecosystem function. Second, the possibility of indigenous peoples do exploit slowly of forests that have been declared as state forests. Two assumptions are made suspicion pitched recognition arrangements are conditional indigenous peoples.

Seed Production Techniques Ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri Teijsm and Binn) Through Stek

Increasing scarcity of wood such as ironwood (Eusideroxylon zwageri Teijsm and Binn) is very alarming. We have to kind of tree regeneration ulin still rely heavily on natural regeneration potential, whereas the artificial regeneration on a large scale had never been done. That the type of flowering time in different places ulin irregular. So very difficult to rely on artificial regeneration of generative with seeds. Seed ulin take a long time sometimes up to one year to germinate. There are two kinds of difficulties that arise for the regeneration of ulin. First, how to get the plants growing together with the seeds that germinate very slowly and irregularly. Second, how to ensure the necessary shade to the process of germination and early growth and so on.
