The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change) has forecasted that
average global temperatures would rise
between 1.1% to 6.4% by 2100- a buzzer
that was previously ignored in the name
of ‘growth.’ The recent global climate
changes have finally driven the
countries across the world to act fast.
A few years ago, 1998 to be precise, Dr
Jannie Tay had already initiated work on
reforesting the planet with the help of
governments and corporations working
together. By then, her plant Tissue
Culture and biotechnology lab in China
had developed the Intellectual Property
Rights (IPR) for faster-growing trees.
It is at this point of time that Dr
Jannie Tay in joint venture with the
Chinese government began reforestation
in China.
Today she is extending this model –
SuperGrow Plantation all over the world
– inviting government bodies to donate
land and benefit from spreading ‘quick
forest’. SuperGrow Plantation will grow
fast growing trees
(Teak/Eucalyptus/Acacia) which will be
logged and replanted every ten years to
grow more trees. This scalable,
sustainable and national level model
aims at making farmers the immediate
beneficiaries through sustainable
employment. |

final beneficiaries through this
sustainable plantation. An environmental
model that challenges deforestation and
spreads 'EnergyGreen' |
