Condition Forest in Global Warming Era
In Bogor, West Java

Globat warming are marked with temperature go up come near 0,5% in one century last. This Improvement can have on drastic climate change. Gases and glasshouse that growing overflow and growing strong its light infra red on the surface of earth, speed up global warming, like air pollution, particle existence or gas in atmosphere that indigenous human activity to dangerous for animal life and flora.    

That above very felt in Indonesia consequence to the number of forest depilatory that conducted by people irresponsible. For example in Bogor, that before known as rain area or area to chill, now weather has been referred has turned into baking hot consequence to the number of forest that before can filter heat becomes to chill.

As a consequence is, soil go dries for no again trees that can suck water from ground zero until soil become damp and fertility. Soil Condition turns into very run dry because influence light infra red direct hit earth.

To interrogate that above, then needed an activity that can stimulate society desire to care of continuity of forest environment, for example: (1) Cultivation returns productive trees that predicted can grow till tens of year; (2) Entangle society directly in trees maintenance referred on the chance of the result can give advantage economically for local society; (3) Stimulate local government to continue look after and in collaboration with society in taking care of continuity environment of forest.

Cultivation returns trees that predicted can suck water from elementary land/ground and can grow till tens of year to the fore is important program that must executed [together/ along] with society. So that the importance entangle society directly in tree cultivation referred [as] in order to stimulate desire in order to continued can maintain and care of forest continuity.

And if this program can be executed properly, by invite local government, then indirectly will stimulate government attention to continue push society by give various of facility aids that required in till or forest management.

This Program is assumed of vital importance in order to answer global warming that now has became world problem.
