Seeking to rescue the historical, documental and scientific memory of Edmundo Navarro de Andrade (1), agronomist hired by the Paulista Railway Company of Sao Paulo in 1904 to work out the most suitable tree species to supply charcoal to its locomotives and timber sleepers to its rail lines, Augusto Jeronimo Martini (2) introduces you to a wonderful piece of research work.

"Currently the Edmundo Navarro de Andrade State Forest keeps one of the largest collection of eucalypt species in South America, making of it the birthplace and a landmark for anyone interested in the research and cultivation of these trees in Brazil".

Galicia: Stormwood Inventory (Event Klaus-Jan 2009)

Ground Zero: Northern coastal Eucalyptus forests

Explosive extratropical cyclone Klaus wiped out the Northern coast of Spain en route to South Western France by the end of January 2009, causing the worst damage to the forests of Galicia in 25 years, including severe effects on some of the most productive timberlands in Europe.

A first inventory coordinated by Galician forestry authorities during February yielded a first official approach to stormwood volumes and their geographical distribution. We bring you today a visual summary of that inventory, depicting localised and scattered stormwood areas, main timber species, geographically related stormwood volumes and the location of the most obvious export facilities.

Spatial distribution of stormwood volumes after damage caused by windstorm Klaus to forestry resources in Galicia / Distribucion espacial de la madera de tormenta tras el daño causado por el huracan Klaus a los recursos forestales de Galicia / Gustavo Iglesias Trabado, GIT Forestry Consulting, Consultoria y Servicios de Ingenieria Agroforestal, Lugo, Galicia, España, Spain / Eucalyptologics, Information resources on sustainable eucalypt cultivation worldwide / Recursos de informacion sobre el cultivo sostenible del eucalipto en el mundo

Fig. 1: Spatial distribution of stormwood volumes after damage caused by windstorm Klaus to forestry resources in Galicia (NW Spain). (Click image to get a full size version, free of charge, by request)



Total stormwood volumes in Galicia after Event Klaus are estimated in the range of 1.2 to 1.8 million cubic metres, roughly 55% Pines (mainly P. radiata) and 40% Eucalyptus (mainly E. globulus).

Australian Bushfires: Ash to ash, Dust to Dust...

Green to Ostrich?
An Open Letter on Victorian Bushfires



Many rural Victorian people applied to cut trees down close to their houses for a fire safety barrier, but Green protests stopped that happening. Some houses are gone now.

The Government wanted to winter control burn to reduce fuel but the Greens blocked them. The fuel is gone now.

The Government wanted to production thin more stands for health and to get bigger trees, but the Greens stopped them. Unthinned stands need no thinning now.

Recently the Greens forced a halt in logging in Victoria because a possible rare animal was seen in the area. More than one million native animals have died in the fires this week.

The Greens have forced hundreds of thousands of hectares of good productive forest into reserves and parks. Now hundreds of thousands of hectares of these reserves are charcoal and ash.

The Greens fret about CO2 emissions. Millions of tonnes of CO2 have been released since Sunday last. Who is to blame for that? It is not the coal producers this time.

The Greens criticize hardworking forestry workers for damaging the environment. They will not have to worry so much in future, as many are dead.

And what are the Greens now saying about it all? Nothing! They have gone to ground, or underground - where they should maybe stay.

Within weeks they will emerge again to continue to disrupt the legitimate activity of the forest industry and to help set the scene for the next tragedy. Isn't it high time the government had the sense to put a stop to this nonsense once and for all? In fact Green leaders should be charged with complicity to destroy lives and property.

But I doubt they will be.
