Oasis Forestry

The Oasis Forestry Reform is a global initiative that is designed to be implemented one region at a time. Its primary purpose is to stop native forest logging all over the world. But it will also have an impact on Climate Change, the Drought in Australia and the Murray Darling River System.

At the present time logging of our native forests is carried out because it is more profitable to do so. If logging companies could be larger and more profitable by abstaining from native forest logging, then they would abstain from native forest logging.

The Oasis Reform is a way to transform the Forest Industries in such a way that the changes fund themselves. It is a way to make changes so that those who have power in the industry will want the changes because they will be so much better off under them. It is a way to change the industry so they no longer view the logging of native forests as an option.

That our native forests are a finite resource doesn't need to be emphasized. The forests of the world have been reduced to such an extent that it is no longer reasonable to consider them as a resource for wood products. And under the Oasis Reform nobody in the Forest Industries will want to.

What the Australian implementation of Oasis will accomplish
  • Discontinuation of native forest logging, in Australia to begin with, and the world soon after.
  • Creation of a forest resource that we can begin to use as early as three to five years after its commencement.
  • CO2 sequestration on an unprecedented scale.
  • Oasis will go a long way to solving the Murray Darling problems north and west of their merge point.
  • Massive reduction to sewerage dumping into Australian waters.
  • A side-effect of the Oasis implementation is a hard to predict change in the regional climate dynamic. The Oasis reform has the potential to greatly increase rainfall on both sides of The Great Divide. And so much so that it may be the major long term water supply solution we need for the region.
  • It will introduce a new methodology for solving the world's problems; a methodology that says everybody really can win if we put enough thought into it.
  • Merging the idea of preservation with capitalism, and putting it into practice as a society will take us one more tiny step up the evolutionary ladder.
  • The perception of the Forest Industries will change from that of destroyers to preservers. In this world, if one can make money from destroying, the greater majority will destroy, but if one can make even more money from preserving, then everyone will choose to preserve.

    • Implementation of the Oasis Reform will establish Australia as the world leader in environmental projects, and it is a reputation that can be solidified by the concurrent introduction of the Kyoto II initiative, also detailed in these pages.
