Plant tree species of local origin!

2010-04-04T17:45:00.007+03:00

Conserving and using sustainably local biodiversity, including trees

ENO-Environment Online project as a global virtual school and network has an excellent idea of promoting tree planting, good environment and sustainable development.

When trees are planted it is good to think carefully what kinds of trees and ecosystems are originally adapted and best to each locality, to each region. If foreign trees are planted, then the end results may be harmful to local species. Think e. g. Eucalyptus species. These are native species of Australia, but they can be succesfully grown in many other regions of the world. Many kinds of unexpected side effects have been found. Eucalyptus species often produce litter that is poisoneous to other organisms, they are too efficient of taking water from the soil, ground water may even disappear, small rivers may become dry during dry seasons etc.

Usually, the best option is to cultivate local tree species of local origin. During evolution life has diversified, organisms and ecosystems are different is each region. During prehistory and history local people have learnt how to best use vegetation sustainably for shelter, food, medicines etc. Even in the same country there may be big differences in genetical adaptation of species to local circumtances. The main principle is to keep and to learn sustainable use of local biodiversity. Learning to identify local species can be facilitated by using NatureGate Online Service: http://www.naturegate.net Many species or genera are cosmopolitan or circumpolar. IUCN recommends NatureGate Online Service.

NatureGate Ltd (University of Helsinki as one of the partners) is interested in collaboration to create local sister NatureGate Online Services to each country and region of the world.

Best wishes from a friend of ENO-Environment Online project

The International Year of Biodiversity

2010-03-15T20:17:00.003+02:00

You are an integral part of nature; your fate is tightly linked with biodiversity, the huge variety of other animals and plants, the places they live and their surrounding environments, all over the world.

You rely on this diversity of life to provide you with the food, fuel, medicine and other essentials you simply cannot live without. Yet this rich diversity is being lost at a greatly accelerated rate because of human activities. This impoverishes us all and weakens the ability of the living systems, on which we depend, to resist growing threats such as climate change.

The United Nations proclaimed 2010 to be the International Year of Biodiversity, and people all over the world are working to safeguard this irreplaceable natural wealth and reduce biodiversity loss. This is vital for current and future human wellbeing. We need to do more. Now is the time to act.

The International Year of Biodiversity is a unique opportunity to increase understanding of the vital role that biodiversity plays in sustaining life on Earth.

ENO Peace Book to celebrate 10th anniversary!

2009-11-15T19:09:00.008+02:00

We aim to do a book about peace in the ENO Programme. This book would consist of 365 stories or fairy tales about peace, a story for each day of year. This book is for everybody who wants to start his/her day with reading a peace story: teachers, students, parents, children, world leaders.

Theme for stories or fairy tales is peace. Theme can be seen freely: it can be a short one but maximum one paper (A4). Writers are children from ENO schools, 6 – 16 yrs from all around the world.

This peace book is to be published in the general summit of UN 21st of September 2010 . In the same occasion books are given to world leaders there. Parts of it will be also published here online, to celebrate ENO Tree Planting Day and ENO 10th anniversary (2000-2010).

We will start to collect these stories immediately today 15th of November 2010. The ultimate deadline for submissions is 28th of February 2010.

1. ENO contact teacher at each participating school will ask their students to write peace stories. Each school will choose 3 stories, translate them into English and send them separately using this form.Stories can also be in Spanish or French but we hope that they would be in English

2. Authors (Mika and Esko-Pekka) will choose the stories for the book.

3. Some stories will be also available online by 21st of September 2010.

When the book is ready we aim to send an electronic copy to each school whose story was chosen to this book.

Hi from Mauritius

2009-10-17T08:44:00.001+03:00

Hello everybody

We are from Ecole du Centre, Saint Pierre, MAURITIUS (Indian Ocean). All the students and teachers gathered together to celebrate this great event. Three endemic trees (Aphloia theiformis, Begonia salaziensis, Dracaena concinna) were planted in the school playground by a class of 11 years old students. The tree planting exercise helped our students understand the importance of our beautiful Mauritian flora and lead them to a greater appreciation of the importance of our environnement in our lives.

Our dear friends.

We are TR02 Hilal Necmiye Primary School from İzmir, Turkey. We celebrated the event with a little delay this year because of our holiday season for the Ramadan Festival. We celebrated the day on October 9th with a great participation of local authorities, TV stations and reporters, our new children and babies, our teachers, environment foundations. We were about 50 people on a erosion field near Bornova, the place we lived, in İzmir. It was really great. The same night we had our place in a TV program and the other day lots of newspapers again. We planted over 300 trees this year and total amount of the trees we planted recently in 5 years to the number of 13.000. We are very happy. And we also very happy to be a part of ENO family.

Capetown joined ENO Tree Planting Day

2009-08-17T18:50:00.003+03:00

" The City Parks Department of the City of Cape Town in partnership with the Capricorn Primary school in Vryground has decided to join forces with ENO and has shifted its Arbor day event from the 5th September 2009 to the 21 September 2009 to commemorate both Arbor Day and ENO tree planting day. The Vryground is devoid of trees and it was for this reason that the Area was identified for both projects. The intention is to eventual green the whole area and create an environmental awareness amongst the inhabitants of Vryground”

Some Background of Capricorn Primary:

In early 2005 however, prompted by difficulties in placing the children from our Creche in Primary schools, and encouraged by discussions with friends and supporters, a decision was made to try and raise enough money to build a school. The concept started modestly, even thinking of using modified shipping containers as the basic units.

Dennis Fabian an architect and supporter for the project designed a proper school with 12 classrooms which would cater for over 400 children. Using his contacts, Dennis put together a team of professional and building firms, many of whom worked either for free or at a discount.

By early 2007 the project was triggered Work started on site in June 2007 and within six months the school was finished. On the first day of the school term 16th January 2008, Capricorn Primary School opened.

The school is what is called a Foundation Phase Primary School which caters for 4 grades, - Grades R through 3, - it has 12 classrooms and approx 400 children between 6 and 10 years old (35 per class). It is designed in such a way that it can be extended by building on another 12 classrooms for the other 4 grades of primary school.

They run regular bushcare and eco-educational programs and run their own two websites: www.planetpatrol.info (for kids 8-12yrs) and www.i-fink.com (for kids 12-16yrs) which they also write themselves.

What they did: With some friends, they planted 60 beautiful Australian native trees. They especially liked that the theme this year was 'native' as they have been working hard to eradicate privet (a noxious introduced weed) from an area of bushland which was said to be 'beyond help' by the Council and bushcare groups. The kids were given permission to 'try' and have now removed around 40% of the privet through organising community bushcare days and are slowly restocking it with Australian natives which are grown by the Council nursery especially for the area from seeds taken from adjoining areas to ensure only trees native to the particular area are established. Native wildlife is returning to the area and open areas are now filled with native wild plants instead of introduced weeds.

The trees were planted in green bags to stop the local bunny population eating them. Planet Patrol have just contributed to the National Australian Rabbit Scan research by spending a weekend counting rabbits!

We are just having some nice rain so the 60 trees have a great start to their lives, even so, each tree was planted with water-saving crystals as things can get very dry during the summer months in Sydney.

Dear Mr. Mika & other friends related to ENO.

We, in India celebrated the World Forest Day with our students getting them to spend the whole day in the forest, making their own huts with their bed sheets and bamboos. In this way we wanted that they may come in direct contact of mother nature, and while spending the whole day away from cell phones, TV and other household comforts of material life. They could listen the music of the birds and trees. They arranged for their meals themselves under the supervision of teachers. They also started the process of planting trees. Though the rainy season has not set in, in India so the plantation would go up to August, 2009. We shall plant two hundred fifty hard wood trees on Government barren lands near to our institution. The Distt. Forest Deptt. Roopnagar would help us providing the plants. We hereby attached the photographs. The students belonging to snap no. 7192 – Amazon Group stood first for all forest activities such as searching for different kind of plants, species, woods, stones and making huts with minimum help from the forest. Group Nile , snap no. 7193 stood second & group Yangtze snap no. 7190 stood third.

I hope you will find the activities very interesting. Your valuable advise is required.

The day was so excited and fun. We did it!! We planted out 10 trees at noon today 22^nd May. Here are the details:

We gathered at school ( Al-Dasma Inter. School for Girls ), three teachers; a science teacher ( Mrs. Rawda Alazemy ), the Local Coordinator of UNESCO ( Mrs. Huda Dashti ) and me ( Miss Shirin AlKhass ), there were also five nine graders ( Mariam Rashed, Zainab Hayder, Fatima Al Najar, Rawan Alazemy and Laila Nabeel ) they are the group which started our urban garden along with the science teacher, by the way the garden is amazing with lots of nice vegetables.

We went together to buy the ten trees from the nurseries, we chose many kinds of trees like: figs, lemon, oranges, olives, strawberry, guava and tangerine. All of them are fruitful trees and they also suit our weather.

After buying the plants, and we went to our destination, Al Furat Kindergarten, the reason of choosing this place is to make young children take part in planting trees to feel the importance of trees to the environment and to let young children in the coming years enjoy the shade and fruit of these trees. Before we started planting trees, we talked to the young children about the importance of trees, then at noon we started planting the trees, it was fun although it was so hot.

Wishing the world a better environment.

Warm regards,

2009-05-22T20:43:00.001+03:00

We planted 3 Puerto Rican Hat Palms Sabal causiarum

The Puerto Rican Hat Palm has become a threatened species.

Because the grass is now mowed by lawn mowers instead of cut by machete, the seedlings never get a chance to grow from the mother plant. Hence they are reproductive "dead" due to human activity. That is why we are starting seedling and planting them when they are large enough that the lawn mowers will not cut them down.
