Our true colour is green, green, green!
Swiftlet ranching can be very environmental-friendly and mother-earth loving.
In my eyes, I see the beauty and the genuine efforts of our green peace-loving fellow ranchers.
Nothing is perfect under the hot sun, I do not deny that some of us have created a mess to the public, however, honestly I still believe that most of us have done our earth good while relentlessly chasing after our dream...
Hey, the reality and the best thing is... by building BHs we have played our parts in 4R our earth's resources :
1) Reduce
2) Recycle
3) Reuse
4) Rescue & respect
How & what have we reduced?
We reduce material wastage by reviving the abandoned projects and transformed them into successful BHs. We are the saviour of the sick and unwanted projects!
What have we recycled?
We can recycle the swiftlet droppings or guano as agriculture fertiliser.
We also keep the guano for the new BH use.
It is zero waste!
What have we reused?
Of course we reuse the bird's nests!
The used bird's nest (after the young birds fledging) can be used for human consumption.
What have we rescued?
We save and rescue the swiftlets by providing them a comfortable sanctuary and a place called home, by doing this, we reduce the fatality.
More importantly: we respect & protect the wildlife!
(Sometimes I doubt that by shutting down the BHs, the infamous Perhilitan/Forest is protecting or eliminating the swiftlet population? Your guess should be as good as mine)
Having the above said, a normal person should have good faith in what we are doing and
should support what we have done so far.
Thank you!
Happy new year 2010 and good luck to all!
