This Issue:*/Remote Sensing and Environmental Appeals /*and Some Other 
Good Things.

/I am sorry this is late, but lightning struck very close to our home a 
week or so ago and took out our telephones, internet, computer, 
printers, etc. (Yes they were plugged into surge protectors). Anyway, we 
are slowly getting everything repaired or replaced. Cheers, Gyde. /

*BUT FIRST, WON’T YOU PLEASE HELP? *

*Global Reforestation / Afforestation Groups - *Tim Van Horlick asked, 
/Are there any groups, org’s, links, to reforestation personal 
particularly focused on re-planting or new plantation establishment ?/ 
If you can help Tim, please contact him at tim at vhmulcher.com 
<mailto:tim at vhmulcher.com>.

*Forest Degradation *– I am looking for any published statistics on 
forest degradation for the world, Africa, and any of the African 
Nations. If you can help, please contact me at gyde at comcast.net 
<mailto:gyde at comcast.net>. Thanks, Gyde
