The mission aim

“REFORESTATION PROJECT
USING NATIVE SPECIES OF TERMINALIA SUPERBA”
The mission aim.

The overall project objective is to reforest 1606 ha of land that was deforested for agricultural use, this area is subdivided into nine plots, two of which are divided into two parts by a village, making a total of eleven plots.

The specific objective of the mission was to go with the person in charge of the office that provides the validation of the project at the UNFCCC, Dhania Dr Nambiar, who works for RINA and has the task of viewing the current conditions of the project and the feasibility to achieve the validation.

Also this mission was an opportunity for an AVSI inspection, for the first time, over the area and gather information about the organization, the staff present, the means that are used, the staff capacity and the nurseries and plots conditions.

Back in Europe

Finally got home!
Yesterday morning, after a big storm that had risked to let us there
another day, we left the village of Djolu with the ASF plane. After a 24 hours travel, I got home this morning with the equatorial forest in the mind and many activities to improve the reforestation in the Kokolopori area!
Next days I will add more pictures and information here in the blog. Now I'm going to take a rest for the week end!

Bye,

Luca

Still in Djolu

We are still in Djolu. This morning we waited six hours in the "airport"
to finally know that we cannot leave. Maybe tomorrow morning!
Lukly the waiting area was very confortable.. as you can see in the picture!

Luca

Still in the forest

We are still in Djolu. The plane cannot come today... maybe tomorrow!
I send a picture about the plot deforestated in here and one with
children, they are so many!
I hope to write from Kisangani the next time!

Blocked at the Equator

After days of silence, due to the isolation, I can write from a rough connetion in the earth of the forest - Djolu. We cannot go back until Tuesday, the plane cannot reach this village until there. Hard life in here, eating local food and sleeping on very basic beds, without water and electricity, but the place is very suggestive.
The mission was ok, we visited nurseries and plots, people in here are very kind and they love the carbon sink activity.
I'll give more information as soon as possible!

Four people from four continents

Yesterday we arrived in Kinshasa and today we moved to Kisangani, on the
road to the Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve.
We are thinking on our team as very "international": Dhanya from India,
Michael from USA, Bienvenue from DRCongo and me from Italy.
Tomorrow the last step: the flight to Djoulu and then to Kokolopori by car.
It should be very difficult to have access to the internet in the next days.
Anyway, I'll try to send more informations and news as soon as possible.

Luca

Site visit

Hello everybody,

Tomorrow it will start my travel to the DRCongo.
I'll be in Kinshasa tomorrow evening and then in Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve on Wednesday. I'll visit the reforestation project site with our friends of Bonobo Conservation Initiative and the guys of the Designated Operational Entity in order to carry out the internal monitoring and the conclusion of the validation procedure.
I'll post my news and information about the travel as soon as possible.

Bye,

Luca
