Review of forest research in Solomon Islands

Background
In the past the research section of the Forestry Division undertook a
significant amount of research, including establishing some 1260 research
plots. At present a strategy for the future of forest research in the
Solomon Islands is being finalised; as part of the revitalisation of the
research section it is necessary to review all of the research plots.

Purpose
The project entails reviewing the research plots, which were mainly set up
for silviculture and plantation establishment. The main purpose of the
projectis to decide the future of the research plots.

The research section has become quite degraded in the past 10 years,
including a lack of resources being invested in human resource development.
It is therefor also necessary to work closely with staff of the research
section to improve their skills and knowledge.

Duration
The project is expected to take four months, which allows for the difficult
working conditions and lack of resources available, beginning in January or
February of next year. It will be based in the town of Munda in the
Western Province of the Solomon Islands.

Arrangements
Funding has been seccured from Pacific Islands Forests and Trees Support
Program for internal airfares, accomodation and living allowance and other
costs involved in the project. An application will be submitted to
AusAID's volunteer program AESOP once a suitable person has been
identified. If this is approved, AESOP will provide the airfare and cover
insurance costs.

The positives of the Western Province!
The people of the Solomon Islands are very friendly, welcoming and relaxed.
The diving and snorkelling from Munda is exceptional, both on natural
reefs and WWII wrecks. Munda is a ten minute flight (AUD$35) to Marovo
Lagoon which has been nominated for World Heritage Listing. Marovo has
hundreds of islands and is scenically very beautiful, as is most of the
Western Province. Munda is also close to the volcanic island of
Kolombangara (approx 1700metres) which has amazing mist forest in the
higher areas.

Anybody interested in this project or who requires further information
should email Nikki Parker by 26th November on
forestry1@...
