TAKE ACTION HERE NOW!
Securing world food security while maintaining operable forests, global climate, water, ocean and terrestrial ecosystems and human rights, justice and equity is the biggest challenge facing humanity. Water and food are the next bubbles to burst -- expect severe shortages of both in the 2010s. It is long past time to get back to the land through protecting and restoring old forests and organic permaculture farming. Our survival depends upon being with land, collecting water, letting forests age and growing food.

TAKE ACTION!
Sir Michael Somare -- Papua New Guineas (PNG) Prime Minister -- jets soon to Copenhagen pledging to protect the countrys rainforests in exchange for REDD carbon money. Yet back home he has left a long list of shameful and corrupt rainforest/climate policies. As Copenhagen and REDD talks start, Somare pals Rimbunan Hijau of Malaysia continue logging in Ramu, Madang, despite a court order demanding they stop. Corruption, human rights abuses, and ecological devastation have no place in REDD or Papua New Guinea.
