Bienvenue


-WELCOME-

 Welcome to my website, Blogging is a good way to share  bits of my life with people I like, people I can't see as often as I would like and also for people who gets lost in these pages.

 I've put photos from my differents trips around this beautiful planet, from places where I live, and where I've lived before, or just places I visited. I hope you'll have a good time during the time you will visit this blog.

Time is running out for Borneo's rainforest.

 

I care for the future of our planet.

 

Deforestation is a global problem, not only in tropical countries but all around the world. About 30% of the carbon we use is captured by boreal forests, but Borneo has the highest deforestation rate in the world. While politicians, usually focused on short-term economic issues, don't give enough importance to this problem, Borno's extremely biodiversity rich forests are inexorably vanishing.

 

As a satellite mapping specialist, I can witness a pretty worrying picture of Borneo.

During the past two decades, 2 millions acres were cleared annually.

Industrial large-scale clearing of forests for monocrop agriculture such as palm oil and cattle grazing is the main cause of deforestation in this region. In addition, gold mining is also causing an ecological disaster in polluting rivers and affecting local people.

 

In Borneo and Sumatra, consequences of deforestation have a dramatic impact in the local biodiversity and orangutans are one of the many victims. Having the same right to be on this planet as we are but powerless against human environmental dictatorship, some associations such as the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, laid by Dr Willie Smits have been fighting for this right on their behalf.

 

People around the world don't really show concern about deforestation and raising awareness about the importance of rainforests is a major step towards a better future.

The long-term consequences of global deforestation would jeopardise life on Earth as we know it. What makes life sustainable on this planet is the recycling processes involved. Cutting-down trees remove natural fertilisers such as leaves and animal faeces and the consequence is a poorer soil quality, main support for desertification. Forest destruction is damaging the ability of the earth to absorb carbon, and by damaging these carbon sink, this makes a direct contribution to rising temperatures.

 

Many environment groups such as deforestAction are heavily involved in the fight against deforestation, and using the power of the web and the media, they develop collaborative projects including schools and young people from all over the planet.

 

The latest deforestAction project will involve Brisbane documentary company Virgo production to develop a 3D feature movie and a TV series following ten young change makers in their fight to save orangutans and raise awareness about deforestation.

 

I am one of the candidate and I need your support to act. You can view and rate my video here: http://gg.tigweb.org/tig/deforestaction/48725/.

 

Thank you

Pour la periode des festivals a Adelaide, certains ont eu la tres bonne idee de projeter des facades colorees sur plusieurs batiments de la ville.  Les facades changaient toutes les 3 minutes et ils ont fait ca sur une 10ene de batiments de North Terrace.Voici un petit echantillons de ce que ca donne:

a New scultpure I made. It's not the final reslut yet, I still need to make her feet, and some more details.
I spent about 15 hours for this result, and about 3 hours for the face, It was hard to make her a peaceful and happy expression and I was happy of the result after 3 hours.

It's been a while since last time I wrote on my blog. Not that nothing happens in my life, I still have a busy and exciting life but tonight I just feel the need to write about it. Events occur sometimes, and it doesn't happen the way you expected them to happen. It's my case at the moment. I was not in the good mood I use to be, I asked to myself, what's wrong? I've tried to think about it and after a bit of reflection the conclusion is nothing is wrong. Changing the way we see things allows us to change the way we feel about them, it works for me. Here is some tips I've found useful to pump up my mood.

I'd say one of the most important thing is to accept what we have.
We usually expect to be happier when we will reach certain goal or when we wait for a special event, but it can take a while to reach these goals . And when you get there, you can have new and different expectation. Sometimes, this special event just doesn't happen. Happiness is not something you get only at the end, I believe it is acceccible anytime, anywhere. We just need to realize what we have now, and instead of comparing with what we want, or what other people have, we should compare with people who have less, who are struggling, who go through tragedy. We are usually blind about what's happenning in the rest of the world, and in our countries we are extremely lucky.I'm not saying that we should not have goals, or expect anything in life, but we should review and adapt our goals in a realistic way. Life is made of choices, our choices, and there is not only one way to make what we want a reality, but it's a step by step process with many different pathway and during this process, it's important to keep the balance between our goals and our happiness, now. I don't autorize myself to get depressed about things which didn't happen the way I expected them to happen. It is not easy to change our mood but thinking and appreciate what we have, and how lucky we are, instead of what we don't have helps a lot. Things can be difficult but we should focus on the benefit of overcoming these difficulties, it makes us stronger.

Another thing I find usefull is to enjoy simple things everyday.
Everybody can find easily accessible things we like. It can ba as simple as watching birds (Adelaide is good for that, if you pay attention, there are so many kind of parrots everywhere!), clouds, sunsets, having good food, a good book, listenning a nice music, talk with friends.

As I said earlier, changing the way we see things allows us to change the way we feel about them, we make our own limits, our own priorities for everything and we are free to change them once we realize that these limit is just ourself.
