The Oasis Forestry Reform is a global initiative that is designed to be implemented one region at a time. Its primary purpose is to stop native forest logging all over the world. But it will also have a positive impact on drought affected regions in Australia and Africa, river flows across sub-Saharan Africa and the Murray Darling system, and will be a large part of the solution to Climate Change.

At the present time logging of our native forests is carried out because it is more profitable to do so. If logging companies could be larger and more profitable by abstaining from native forest logging, then they would abstain from native forest logging.

The Oasis Reform is a way to transform the Forest Industries in such a way so that the changes fund themselves. It is a way to make changes so that those who have power in the industry will want the changes because they will be so much better off under them. It is a way to change the industry so that they no longer view the logging of native forests as an option.

That our native forests are a finite resource doesn't need to be emphasized. The forests of the world have been reduced to such an extent that it is no longer reasonable to consider them as an ongoing source for wood products. And under the Oasis Reform nobody in the Forest Industries will want to.

Implementation/Facilitation of the Oasis Reform will establish Australia as the world leader in environmental issues, and it is a reputation that can be solidified by the concurrent promotion of the Kyoto II initiative that is also detailed in these pages and the FISCIL reform for Overfishing, details of which you will find on the Discussion Papers page.

All three of these reforms are designed to make money rather than cost money, and by the time the dust settles on the implementation of these three reforms alone, we (the world) will have made ourselves many trillions of dollars, and the problems, Overfishing, Native Deforestation and Climate Change will be completely solved; not mitigated, not managed, SOLVED.
