2014-10-19 NRMI: NATURAL RESOURCE MONITORING ITEMS OF INTEREST
This Issue: Remote Sensing and Environmental Appeals and Some Other Good Things.
I am sorry this is late, but lightning struck very close to our home a week or so ago and took out our telephones, internet, computer, printers, etc. (Yes they were plugged into surge protectors). Anyway, we are slowly getting everything repaired or replaced. Cheers, Gyde.
BUT FIRST, WON'T YOU PLEASE HELP?
Global Reforestation / Afforestation Groups - Tim Van Horlick asked, Are there any groups, org's, links, to reforestation personal particularly focused on re-planting or new plantation establishment ? If you can help Tim, please contact him at tim@vhmulcher.com.
Forest Degradation – I am looking for any published statistics on forest degradation for the world, Africa, and any of the African Nations. If you can help, please contact me at gyde@comcast.net. Thanks, Gyde
