Info

The age of the participants is not investigated, but we can see that there is a shift from mostly elderly participants in the beginning, to a more mixed age structure of participants. This can be explained by the fact that people working in the companies have joined. Moreover, nearly all participants were males, and since companies have joined the number of female participants has increased. Conclusion In this report the role of the NPO Kitakyushu Biotope Network Group in the preservation of bamboo forests has been explained. It can be said that the preservation of bamboo forest in Japan only can be solved through intense participation of local government, industries (companies CSR program), research institutes, local grassroots organizations, and NPO’s etc. With over 100 activities, the NPO Kitakyushu Biotope Network Group has elaborated a lasting bamboo preservation project, these activities show a solution to let local citizens take part in solving bamboo forest problems. All activities attracted many participants, which mean that the citizens of Kitakyushu are concerned about the bamboo forests. In the future, it will be important to establish several bamboo preservation key areas, and make a network of these areas, so that the local citizens not only participate in one-day events but become members of these organized preservations projects and take more initiative in their own local area.

Abstract Performance of Exotic Bamboo Species in Kenya Victor Brias During the period 7 August to 6 September 2006 the author analyzed the performance of trial plantations of exotic bamboo species that were established by the Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI) between 1988 to 1990. The objective of studying the KEFRI trial plantations was to analyze the trial plantations in various regions Kenya in order to provide up to date information on species to site matching, with specific focus on identifying suitable species for developing bamboo plantations in the Lake Region, Highlands and coastal regions of Kenya. Observations and analyses of species performance and were made in 4 bamboo plantation trial plots located in Kakamega, Muguga, Gede and Jilore. Measurements and estimations of culm size, height, and clump density were made by selecting samples of various clumps of each species on each of the ‘ sites. Since the climatic conditions of the trial sites differ significantly from the native habitat of the species, a strict methodology was needed for analyzing the data. A benchmarking system was used for gauging the relative performance of the species on the sites in relation to the known characteristics of the same species in their natural range in Asia. Since there was no record of culm weight of the various species planted, the author employed a mathematical method of calculation, which provides a rough estimation of the dry weight of culms. The analytic results of the trial sites provides a rough assessment of the potential performance of the exotic bamboo species in selected areas of Kenya. Information on species to site matching was provided based on the observations and analyses. Acknowledgements The present study was originally conducted as part of the author’s assignment as a technical expert in bamboo plantations for the Eastern Africa Bamboo Project (EABP) funded by the Common Fund for Commodities (CFC), executed by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and supervised by the International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR). The author expresses his thanks to CFC, UNIDO, and INBAR for their permission to publish the study in this revised form. The author also expresses his gratitude to Mr. Gordon Sigu of the Kenya Forestry Research Institute for his assistance in data collection and measurements on the field.
