Infographic Maps on Native Hardwood Trees, A Promotion for Tree Replanting in Indonesia
The Infographic Maps below can be used as recommendation for people who get exciting to involve in the blossom of nature by replanting trees through exploring the diversity of native hardwood timber trees in Indonesia, especially young people who have more chance to care and watch them grow into strong and be impactful.As millenials who have spend about 7 years dissertation research with past work assessment and training with the circumstance in the topic of timber architecture and old existing buildings, and to elevate the works from other researcher and practices in forestry field whose works I am admire, I composed these Infographic Maps to make the subject visually appealing for nowadays demand, but also addressing the wake up call in the same time. Combining the information from two sides; timber architecture and forestry, of course it is impossible to list all the tree species. Instead, the purpose is to make the shared value amongst timber architecture and forest-land rehabilitation and their diversity to be understandable.
These Infographic Maps can be used as a tool to double-checks between hardwood trees for land and forest rehabilitation and the hardwood names traced back from their used in traditional wooden constructions. In this sense, it is to affirm that the vernacular architecture/old building have actually being silent presentation which all the time saying about the trees to replanting. As some woods used were and are flagship species, some were and are least important. Some gone endangered, some unidentified (or unrecognised local names) and no more found.
Because of high value in densities, hardness and durability of these hardwoods, local people in the past relied on them for constructions in earthquake prone and flood/wet environment of ground speciality. As the hardwoods need slow and long time to grow to forming high density wood, they are excellent CO2 absorber in the long run. If this qualities are still irreplaceable and still no technology can substitute their strength, hardness and durability to help humankind enduring their settlement, it will be wise for not solely focusing on fast growing trees but instead, as well replanting such hardwood tree species in their biodiversity setting along with other non-wood plants for long term disaster mitigation and climate change adaptation.
