Dear Corporate Contributor

Social Responsibility has referred IVAFMS Foundation.  The following three pages may bring us together in a way that we can conduct business while meeting social responsibility in a most profound way regarding worldwide reforestation with the Philippines at the lead.

 

We initiated the attached planning process last August in Cebu when the League of Municipal Planners and Development Coordinators of the Philippines, Inc. held its first Climate Change workshop.  It was so well received that we followed a month later in San Fernando, La Union with one that drew more than 160 decision makers.  The board of directors adopted our sustainable agroforestry reforestation plan.  The purpose of our next meetings is to design the standardization for agroforestry methodology to reforest 1% of the Philippines, joined by 6% voluntary replication.  We will package the methodology and numbers for presentation to the prospective guarantor.

We would like to work with your group in receiving financial project support to complete the planning process and in return we can negotiate a very favorable agroforestry community development agreement.  For planning we need staffing, logistics and operating funds totaling low six figures with extrapolated results within six months and the completed national plan within 18 months.

CAPACITY BUILDING AGROFORESTRY ADVOCACY

Charles, Prince of Wales, stated to the “National Geographic” in October 2009 that the largest contributor to green house gas emissions is deforestation. Mankind must remove residual carbon from air which deforestation has released.  Only reforestation is going to recover that loss.

 

Sustainable forestry using, efficient agroforestry and sustainable community development, is the new frontier.  It resolves the problem that fewer than one percent of reforestation projects are sustainable, lacking from prior planning. 

 

In cooperation with the League of Municipal Planners and Development Coordinators we are embarking to reforest the Philippines utilizing standardized, ordinary and customary professional planning practices.

 

Professional planning of the1,711 municipal planners and development coordinators are developing one standardized agroforestry model, adjustable to the different climatic regions, to demonstrate and teach the small farmer, landowner or business owner, who has a hectare of unused land sitting idle, how to turn it into a money--maker for his family indefinitely while unwittingly helping to rehabilitate the environment.  Everyone involved is to become a pioneer in reversing Global Warming and eradicating poverty!

 

Carbon sequestration benefits may surpass all others.

 

 

 

The standardized sustainable agroforestry planning will utilize:

·       Existing statistical based planning data readily accessible to the Planners

·       Barangay (village) botanical surveys of existing hardwood and Producers[1]

·       Ecological foot printing of each barangay

·       Carbon Sequestration planning for each barangay

·       Organic and probiotics planning for each barangay

·       Economic sustainability planning for groups of 10 barangays

·       RESULT:  Agroforestry Community for production, processing and marketing

The parameters for standardization:

·       45m²  plot of land for the nursery located at the Barangay Hall

·       Utilization of flora existing in the barangay

o   Hardwood, such as three mature mahogany trees

§  3,000 seeds yield 1,000 saplings three years old

o   Producers, 10 kinds, just 10 mature trees

§  150 marcuttings yield 100 producers in three years.

·       .30 hectares of land annually for the planting of the nursery’s production

Revenue:

·       18 months certain grasses produce essential oils ongoing indefinitely

·       24 months certain berries (mulberry) produces fruit for processing

·       36 months most marcuttings begin producing fruit for processing

·       42 months more marcuttings begin producing

·       48 months all marcuttings are producing on a continuous growth curve

·       48 months, the system’s capacity more than doubles each year thereafter

Growth Parameters, 25 years – Three Components, reforest 42,005 barangays:

1.     1% of the Philippine landmass through the above project

2.     6% of the Philippine landmass through voluntary replication

3.     Achievement of 7% of the market is critical mass when the rest will follow

The Three Combined Components of 2m hectares of agroforestry reforestation:

·       The linear contribution: GNP will be USD 521.11 billion.

·       The matrix of commerce incentives and production will multiply several times raising the GNP to more than a trillion U.S. dollars on a sustainable basis within 25 to 28 years.
