Ownership and sharing of returns from the forest has to be sorted out with our local Board in Fiji before REDD comes in

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have just recently been directed to your site by one of my readers who thought it would be a great idea for me to forward on to you an article I wrote about REDD in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
You can find the article here on my blog, Tubuans & Dukduks:

REDD could be a good opportunity to assist or support the indigenous community

The shrinking of fresh water table underneath islands
Submitted by admin on Wed, 18/02/2009 - 00:00.It bothers me to constantly hear and see from media around the world and from leading experts on this topic talking about the early signs and impact of the global concern on small islands and its people as if the island(s) are like a ship tightly tied down on both ends to a strong fixed object during low tide and when the tide rises, the water level increases and eventually pour into the ship, thereby rendering abandonment.
Community based coastal conservation initiatives are common in Fiji

The people of Tebua Tarawa forced to re-locate
Submitted by Visitor on Thu, 04/12/2008 - 11:52.If you wish to be treated seriously as an organisation of worth and integrity, then you should do your homework before publishing messages like the one on Kiribati - e.g. old people saying that sealevel rise is cyclic.
The people of Tebua Tarawa would be interested in the comment "Stay where the old village used to be" - for them there is no choice as they've been forced to re-locate.
Please, we don't need personal so-called "research" and half truths posturing as truth from threatened countries.
Thank you
Older folks explanation is that this rising sea level is a cycle, Kiribati
Submitted by Visitor on Thu, 20/11/2008 - 03:53.What I would share here may come as a different approach however, to fully understand a subject it is good to see opposing and agreeable views to broaden the scope of our understanding of the subject matter.
I live in Kiribati which is a low lying string of coral atolls. It comes as no surprise that our neighbouring coral atoll state, Tuvalu is voicing its concern over sea-level rise because it is a problem.
