BUSINESS AND THE ENVIRONMENT – TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT by Hashim Djojohadikusumo
• There is a relevance between businessmen and environment. Businessmen should be acutely aware of climate change and they should take part in UN-sponsored efforts to embrace the conclusions of the recent Paris Conference on Climate Change and help the world economy adjust to new realities. • The new technologies will slow down global warming - in particular that within seven years there will be a new model for reforestation. Keywords: reforestation, global warming, climate change
NASA has been collecting data on Arctic sea-ice extent (a term that refers to area and volume) since the late 1970s. Last year's maximum was the fourth- lowest on record, and 2016's sea ice extent is also among the lowest that scientists have seen in about 40 years. Droplets of water fall from a melting ice block harvested from Greenland and installed on Place du Pantheon for a project called Ice Watch Paris. (File photo: Reuters)
BIODIVERSITY – A REVOLUTIONARY NEW MODEL
The optimistic vision to slow down the global warming, particularly for the Tropical World which is based on RAINFOREST .
PROFITABILITY OF SUSTAINABLE RAIN FORESTS
The rainforest is also profitable because not only has it attracted back wildlife and changed the local climate to encourage rain- cloud formation.
WHAT ARE INDONESIA AND THE TROPICAL WORLD’S ADVANTAGES? The reforestation of Indonesia will take a sustained programme lasting 40 years at a rate of two million hectares of replanted forest per annum. This will produce enough bio-mass including bio-ethanol to replace the soon to be depleted fossil fuels. Year-Round Sunshine; constant rain; suitable soils; land and people.
Countries with high environmental awareness such as Germany, the Netherlands and Japan are particularly interested in the use of torrefected black-pellets for use in their power- plants to cut overall CO2 emissions
The Arsari ITCI originally just pampas grass (alang-alang) and completely denuded of forest cover - this 1.800 hectare site has been replanted with over 1.200 different tree species in stages over the past 15 years since 2002. This does not recreate the original rainforest that would be impossible, but it is sufficiently bio-diverse to create bio-mass and attract back wildlife who are key to ensuring a self-sustaining forest cover. The key trees here are fruit trees whose produce is eaten and then excreted by birds and mammals thus producing a constant supply of organic fertiliser which restores the bio-mass.
ITCI RAIN FOREST
ITCI NATURAL RAIN FOREST ITCI , located in East Kalimantan, was established in 1969 and in 2012, ITCI was awarded a 173,000 ha Natural Forest Concession by the Ministry of Forestry for utilization until 2057. The planting partly started in 2013 and will be expanded in a much a bigger scale in 2016. We have started pilot project of renewable energy using sugar palm and several other trees including food based trees (cassava) using polyculture scheme as part of our future agroforestry.

BIO CHAR Biochar is charcoal used as a soil amendment. Like most charcoal, biochar is made from biomass via pyrolysis. Biochar is an alternative approach to carbon sequestration to produce negative carbon dioxide emissions.

SAMBOJA LESTARI Reforestation/Rehabilitation is the core of the Samboja Lestari project with hundreds of indigenous species planted. By the middle of 2006 more than 740 different tree species were planted, not yet including the special collections in the arboretum. The wish list includes 1716 selected tree species.
