-says illegal logging increased under his Presidential watch“A small number of Jagdeo’s crony capitalists and an increasing number of Chinese national log traders have become wealthy while prime commercial timbers are being overcut by 30 times the natural rate of regeneration.”A leading forestry official is protesting a recent announcement that former President Bharrat Jagdeo has been appointed as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) ‘High Level Envoy for Sustainable Development in Forest Countries’ and ‘Patron of Nature’.IUCN, an organisation which is dedicated to finding pragmatic solutions to pressing environment and development challenges,Wholesale Jerseys, last week announced Jagdeo’s appointment. The organisation cited Jagdeo’s work in climate change and his vision to “show how progress is possible”.Former President, Bharrat JagdeoAlso cited was his work on Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy, which sets out on a national scale, a replicable model to protect Guyana’s 18 million hectares of forest, and to provide insights on how to curb the 17% of global greenhouse gas emissions that result from deforestation and forest degradation.However, on Wednesday,Cheap Jerseys Online, John Palmer, Senior Associate, Forest Management Trust sent a letter to Stewart Maginnis, Head of the IUCN Forest Conservation Programme, protesting the appointment. Copies were also sent to Julia Marton-Lefevre, the Director General of IUCN, and the Acting Director of IUCN South America Regional office, in Quito, Ecuador.According to Palmer,Wholesale China Jerseys, who has had 40 years in the forestry field, and would write regularly on the Guyana situation in local press, Jagdeo’s 12-year presidency saw a drastic increase in illegal logging and exports of unprocessed logs.“I wish to place on record my protest at IUCN’s appointment of ex-President Bharrat Jagdeo of Guyana as IUCN High Level Envoy for Sustainable Development in Forest Countries. During his 12 years as President of Guyana, the National Forest Policy 1997 and National Forest Plan 2001 have been comprehensively ignored, exports to Asia of unprocessed logs from natural tropical rainforest in Guyana have increased greatly (against all national policies), illegal logging has increased and so has gold mining in forested areas and illegal trade in those logs has been facilitated by the prevalence of corruption originating at the apex of government.”CronyismPalmer went further.“A small number of Jagdeo’s crony capitalists and an increasing number of Chinese national log traders have become wealthy, while prime commercial timbers are being overcut by 30 times the natural rate of regeneration. All this information is in the local press in Guyana and could easily have been checked by IUCN.”However, Palmer pointed out that there is no credible threat of deforestation in Guyana.“Perhaps IUCN was swayed by the presence of Jagdeo at international meetings, calling for fast disbursement of donor funds for avoided deforestation? But in Guyana there is no credible threat of increased deforestation because the hinterland soils are among the most infertile in the world, not having been subject to rejuvenation by volcanism or marine transgression; the Guiana Shield landscape has been stable for millions of years and leaching has left impoverished soils.”A proposal by prominent consultant, McKinsey & Company,Wholesale Jerseys Cheap, in 2008 to Jagdeo, based on the notorious McKinsey carbon cost abatement calculations, utterly ignores the infertility of the soils and the associated absence of any agronomic trials to support the 90 per cent forest clearance and crop replacement suggested by McKinsey as the default proposition, the forestry official said. “Based on this 2008 study, Jagdeo called for international donors to provide him with around US$580M per year for avoided deforestation. Only Norway responded, apparently in furtherance of its commitment towards carbon neutrality by 2030, while continuing to pump oil and gas from its massive reserves.”Palmer noted that although Norway has transferred US$70 million to a World Bank trust fund, no money has yet been disbursed from that fund, at least in part because the “Office of the President in Guyana has been incapable of putting together project proposals which are rational in terms of national development or which comply with WB environmental and social safeguards.”The letter stressed that under ex-President Jagdeo, Guyana has made no explicit commitment to reduce emissions of carbon from deforestation or forest degradation, in spite of being one of the earliest countries to submit critical documentations.“Cuss down” President“No FCPF (Forest Carbon Partnership Facility) money has been
