或问胜天下之道,曰:「在德。」何从胜德?曰:「大德胜
小德,小德胜无德;大德胜大力,小德敌大力。力生敌,德生力;力生于德,天下无敌。故力者胜,一时者也,德愈久而愈胜者也。夫力非吾力也,人各力其力也,惟大德为能得群力,是故德不可穷,而力可困。」
(《德胜》节录《郁离子》)

Bamboo grows quickly, it can takes pressure off other forest resources.
Other uses of Bamboo against deforestation
use of bamboo charcoal and firewood as an alternative source of energy in Africa bamboo coffins in northeastern India, an eco-friendly method of burial for the state’s Christians

Bamboo – the Important Green Material for Construction in the 21st Century
Bamboo indirectly reduces greenhouse gas emissions by: 1. Producing bamboo products usually requires < energy
than comparable fossil-fuel based produce 2. Selectively harvested bamboo provides woody biomass 3. Transformed into durable products with long life spans terrestrial carbon sink

4. Produce both bamboo fuel & charcoal for cooking and heating
5. Generate electricity via biomass gasification technology
6. Bamboo charcoal has a calorific value similar
to that of wood charcoal but is much less polluting

Researches and studies Annual carbon fixation of the tree layer in a Moso bamboo forest was 5.10
t/ha 1.33 times the value for a tropical mountain rainforest 1.41 times the value for Chinese fir Cunninghamia lanceolata at 5 years old (Zhou and Jiang 2004)
One of the most efficient types of forest vegetation for carbon fixation Estimates of the total carbon storage in Chinese bamboo forests from 1999
to 2003 ranging from 605.5 to 1425 Tg C (Lou et al. 2010)

Bamboo might be the best carbon sequestrating plant in isolation, but in nature the picture is made up of a larger design and hence the importance of well-designed multi-cropped agroforestry solutions, as recognised as best practice for African small scale farming conditions by the Food & Agriculture Organisations. Not recommended: Mono cropping attracts pests, stifles biodiversity and is done at high density draining our water resources.

For climate change mitigation Rapidly sequesters carbon, avoids fossil fuel use Offers a highly renewable source of biomass energy – as a substitute for wood fuel and fossil fuels For landscape restoration Rapidly restores degraded lands in the tropics Thrives on problem soils and steep slopes that are unsuitable for other crops, eg Tuen Mun highway in HKG. To date, millions of hectares of degraded lands have been restored with bamboo, many millions more can benefit For adaptation Protects communities from natural disasters as a part of sustainable forestry & agro-forestry systems Rapid growth allows frequent harvesting, helping farmers respond adapt changing weather patterns

Despite this progress the present lack of uniform international standards for the vast majority of bamboo products has long stood in the way of further rapid growth in international trade. The need and imperative for establishing an international platform to set standards on bamboo is now more pressing than ever

Bamboo & Biodiversity
What is biodiversity? variation of life forms within a given ecosystem Planting of bamboo as priority action (Clause no.4, Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan 2013, Environment Bureau, HKSAR)
Bamboo forests are important for biodiversity Rhizome systems are intermixed with tree shrub and herbaceous
layer of vegetation Habitats for insects, birds and other animals Food for mammals and birds e.g. Giant Pandas and Mountain Gorillas

higher amounts of desirable soil qualities Porosity, aeration, and bulk density Maintaining high levels of nutrients in the soil increase the resilience to adverse weather conditions

Carbon Accounting Methodology for Afforestation with Bamboo developed in partnership by INBAR, China Green Carbon Foundation and
Zhejiang A&F University in 2012
recognising bamboo as an official carbon offset and a tool for climate change
mitigation, thus enabling Chinese companies to buy bamboo carbon credits
on the voluntary market
contribute to the goal of optimising the potential for carbon finance through
bamboo carbon sinks and bamboo harvested wood products (HWP)
