  Govt. brands coffee, cacao as 'reforestation species' by Jerome Carlo R. Paunan

QUEZON CITY, June 17 (PIA) -- The administration of President Benigno S. Aquino III, through its National Greening Program, has now classified coffee and cacao as "reforestation species" in its efforts to plant 1.5 billion trees in some 1.5 million hectares by 2016.

Environment Secretary Ramon Paje on Friday said their agency has opted to include the coffee plant (of the genus Coffea) and the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao) in its massive reforestation program because government wanted not only to “plant and conserve trees,” but at the same time, “address the issues of poverty and food security as well,” especially for residents in the countryside.

Aside from the two bean-producing species, the DENR also added mango and durian to its list of trees suited for their convergence tree-planting campaign with the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and Department of Agriculture (DA) to integrate the people, their economy, and their environment, Paje said during the special edition of the Communication and News Exchange (CNEX) Forum with members of media at the Philippine Information Agency in Quezon City.

"Dito po sa programang ito hindi na lamang mga punongkahoy ang itatanim natin. Pinayagan na po namin gamitin ang cacao, kape, mangga at durian as reforestation species," he said.

The merging of the three departments is in line with the Enhanced National Convergence Initiative for Sustainable Rural Development, which facilitates the three agencies pooling together their resources to maximize the impact on countryside development and sustainable agriculture.

Paje also said that all the earnings these fruit-bearing species would provide will go directly to the upland farmers and agrarian reform beneficiaries involved in the program or, if planted in communities, the community will benefit from the harvest.

"Ang kita po rito ay hindi kukunin ng gobyerno kundi ibibigay namin sa mga benepisaryo ng programang ito," Paje said.

Likewise, in order to maximize the beneficiaries’ profits, the environment chief said, the three partner agencies will help them put up cooperatives and provide them with needed support like postharvest facilities, as part of their convergence initiative.

I am not sure if it was that day or over time, but the other day, she suddenly became disoriented, almost like high on drugs, she couldn’t walk, even stand up, her head was falling over.

I took her to the vet straight away and she started pooping herself, but she was still in her high state. After she pooped for a while, she became more alert and seemed better.

The vet told me, it could either food poisoning or epilepsy, but she didn’t have any seizure, which he said was unusual.

What do you guys think?

The seeds in passionfruit are toxic to dogs, strange the vet couldn’t figure that out, pretty dumb vet! The passionfruit itself is fine. Listed here are plants poisonous or toxic to cats that must be avoided if there are cats in your home. Note that lilies(*), in particular, are dangerous to cats. While in some cases, just parts of a plant (bark, leaves, seeds, berries, roots, tubers, spouts, green shells) might be poisonous, this list rules out the whole plant if any part is toxic. If you must have any of them, keep them safely out of reach.

Toxic Plants Index, provides an extensive list of genus/species and common names of plants known to be toxic to small animals. After the index, each plant species is written up with a brief description of the known common names, the toxin or toxins produced by the plant, and the part or parts of the species that are known to be toxic. A paragraph describing clinical signs caused by the plant is followed by known treatment recommendations.

Should your PET eat part of a poisonous plant, rush the cat to your veterinarian as soon as possible. If you can, take the plant with you for ease of identification. The leaves are smaller than those of many other bamboos and present a pleasant contrast to the massive culms. Moso bamboo pole stalks are considered among the largest and most beautiful, growing to a diameter from 3 to 7 inches and towering to 80 feet in tropical areas.

One of the most used bamboos in China for food, timber, paper, plywood, flooring and many other uses.

Hardy to about -4 degrees… Moso – a winter hardy giant bamboo. In spring, when new culms shoot, you can see how fast the bamboo will grow, adult plants may grow around 18 inches a day. Phyll. pubescens, better known as “Moso” bamboo, originated in China (region Hainan) will be 50 – 92 feet tall with culms about 3 – 5 inches thick.
