Kebun kayu bukan hutan
Salam hangat,
Bila anda adalah rimbawan atau mahasiswa kehutanan dan percaya bahwa
kebun kayu (HTI) bukan hutan dan setuju dengan pernyataan di bawah
ini, silahkan mengirim nama dan email anda ke saya ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
dan Ricardo Carrere ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Tolong cantumkan dalam
email anda apakah rimbawan (forester) atau mahasiswa (student).
Ini adalah kampanye bersama antara Friends of the Earth International
(FoEI) dan World Rainforest Movement) dalam rangka Hari aksi melawan
kebun kayu monokultur skala besar, September 21. Pernyataan ini akan
disampaikan kepada FAO, lembaga-lembaga penelitian kehutanan dan
badan-badan internasional lainnya, dan juga sebagai platform global
bersama bagi rimbawan dan pelajar yang menolak persepsi bahwa kebun
kayu adalah hutan.
Silahkan baca pernyataan di bawah (maaf tidak sempat diterjemahkan
dalam bahasa Indonesia) dan silahkan hubungi saya bila ingin
informarsi lebih lanjut.
Terima kasih dan jabat erat,
Longgena Ginting

PS: bila anda dapat meneruskan email ini kepada milis yang lain
(seperti rimbawan-interaktif) saya akan sagat berterima kasih.

Monoculture tree plantations are not forests
Statement by forestry professionals and students
2008
Throughout the world, governments are actively promoting the expansion
of large-scale monoculture tree plantations, despite the serious
social and environmental impacts already witnessed on existing
plantations. The promoters of this model claim that plantations are
forests, which simply is not true. Plantations are not forests.
Unfortunately, many of our colleagues in the forestry sector support
this model, and our teaching institutions continue to train new
generations of forestry professionals to perpetuate and expand this
type of forestry model, aimed at seeing forests where they do not
exist.
This is why we feel the need to publicly state not only that
monoculture tree plantations are not forests, but also that these
plantations result or have resulted in the destruction of our native
forests and of other equally valuable ecosystems that they replace.
Those who know the most about this issue are the local populations who
directly suffer the impacts of plantations, such as:
- Loss of biodiversity (and the resulting loss of food, medicines,
firewood, and materials for housing construction and crafts, among
others).
- Changes in the water cycle, resulting both in the decrease and
depletion of water sources and the increase of flooding and
landslides.
- Decreased food production.
- Soil degradation.
- Loss of indigenous and traditional cultures that depend on the
original ecosystems.
- Conflicts with forestry companies over the ownership of land in
indigenous territories and those of other traditional communities.
- Decreased sources of employment in traditionally agricultural areas.
- Expulsion of rural populations.
- Destruction of the natural landscape in tourism areas.
For reasons like these, we forestry professionals who strive for the
conservation of forests and recognise the basic rights of the peoples
who live there must take the side of those who truly defend the
forests – the local communities – and oppose the expansion of
monoculture plantations.
We want to stress that this process is not beginning today, but in
fact dates back to the 2005 World Social Forum in Porto Alegre. At
that time, a group of forestry students and professionals agreed on
the need for "another kind of forestry training based on a different
way of seeing the world, in which forests are not seen simply as wood,
but rather as what they really are: diverse ecosystems made up of
forest flora, fauna and peoples." In line with this position, we
clearly declared ourselves "against the establishment of large-scale
monocultures or homogenous tree plantations."
Today, within this framework, we are calling on forestry students and
professionals to adhere to this declaration and to begin a process,
inside and outside educational institutions, that will make it
possible for those of us who enter this profession to actually do what
we thought we would be doing when we entered it: defending forests and
the peoples who depend on them.
