Hi all
Just a heads-up on the next Pictou Co Naturalist's Club presentation at =
the New Glasgow Library community room Tues Feb 4 at 6:30 p.m.=20
Getting up this morning and seeing the thermometer below -15C it is nice =
to know our next presentation will transport us to a warmer climate
=20
Cheryl Hamilton will be speaking on the changes taking place in Cambodia =
from the 1990's until the present with her presentation titled : =
Cambodia Then and Now". Although her work has mostly been health =
development in Cambodia - she will be adjusting her presentation to =
discuss the environmental changes in Cambodia exploring causes and =
interventions to try to help stop deforestation and preserve animals =
quickly heading for extinction.=20
Cheryl has lived and worked in Cambodia for 5 years and has her Masters =
Degree in International Community Development Management. She =
notes-currently Cambodia is being deforested at an extremely alarming =
rate. (In 1997 I counted 400 semi trucks in 1 day full of giant trees =
being transported out of the province {she lived in}- and this has =
continued into the present.) One of my former co-workers, Ben Davis, is =
trying hard to set up a Community Forest protect (he currently has 5000 =
hectares). He is trying to educate the community on the extreme =
importance of protecting the trees, land and animals. He is trying to =
get the government to protect the land and declare it illegal to hunt or =
deforest on this property. In exchange he is trying to draw tourism to =
the area for income generation for the community to see the animals and =
birds that are protected. In a land where 1000 year old trees are being =
felled and the once second largest tiger population in the world thought =
to be eliminated there is reason for concern. Come on out to hear =
Cheryl's prospective and bring a friend.=20
