TOTOKA ISLANDS starts the Reforestation Program in close cooperation with the Ministry of Fisheries and Forests which provides advice, training, seedlings and seeds of various indigenous timbers.
The Program is aimed at reforestation of idle and bare lands on one of the freehold properties of TOTOKA ISLANDS in remote areas.
TOTOKA ISLANDS purchases seedlings and seeds from the Ministry of Fisheries and Forests. The seedlings are being planted in the grasslands. The seeds are being germinated and grown in nurseries under supervision of the Ministry of Fisheries and Forests.
The long term goal of the Program is sustainable commercial forestry, basing on a natural and sustainable ecosystem of a diversified forest. Resources that are being consumed from time to time are being recreated continuously providing long-term employment and a sound long-term economic development for the remote areas. The strategy is to selectively log trees (Sustainable Forest Management- SFM concept) when they are sufficiently grown and instantly replace them with new seedlings.
