Rafflesia arnoldii is a member of the genus Rafflesia. It is noted for producing the largest individual flower on earth, and a strong odor of decaying flesh - the latter point earning it the nickname of "corpse flower". It is an endemic plant that occurs only in the rainforest of Bengkulu, SumatraIsland, Indonesia and is locally known as patma raksasa. Although there are some plants with larger flowering organs like the Titan Arum andTalipot palm, those are technically clusters of many flowers.
When Rafflesia is ready to reproduce, a tiny bud forms on the outside of the root or stem and develops over a period of a year. The cabbage like head that develops, eventually opens to reveal the flower. The stigma or stamen are attached to a spiked disk inside the flower. A foul smell of rotting meat attracts flies and beetles to pollinate. To pollinate successfully, the flies and/or beetles must visit both the male and female plants. The fruit produced are round, filled with smooth flesh including many thousands of hard coated seeds that are eaten and spread by tree shrews .

Don't deal with companys that use illegaly obtained timber.
Well In the USA Illegal logging would be greatly reduced if the States would impose much harsher punishments on the ones committing the crime...
Such as forfeiture of all the equipment used by the person/company that committed the illegal logging, take their trucks, their heavy equipment, take their saws,freeze their bank accounts and investigate all their previous logging actions for other criminal offenses..and fine said person/company up to $500,000
Impose stricker regulations on the sawmills to properly verify that the logs they are buying are legally obtained,Hire more state inspectors to check on the logging operations in the state,offer a $100,000 tax free reward to anyone who reports illegal logging that leads to a conviction..
When logging companies can lose their entire business and all possession held by said business then they will not be so inclined to steel timber...

"The New Republic" After the establishment of the Philippine Independence in 1946, the problems of land tenure remained. These became worst in certain areas. Thus the Congress of the Philippines revised the tenancy law.
President Manuel Roxas (1946-1948) enacted the following laws:
President Ramon Magsaysay (1953-1957) enacted the following laws:
President Carlos P. Garcia (1957-1961)
Continued the program of President Ramon Magsaysay. No new legislation passed.
President Diosdado Macapagal (1961-1965) enacted the following law:
The RA was hailed as one that would emancipate Filipino farmers from the bondage of tenancy.
President Ferdinand Marcos (1965-1986). Proclamation No. 1081 on September 21, 1972 ushered the Period of the New Society. Five days after the proclamation of Martial Law, the entire country was proclaimed a land reform area and simultaneously the Agrarian Reform Program was decreed.
President Marcos enacted the following laws:
President Corazon C. Aquino (1986-1992)
The Constitution ratified by the Filipino people during the administration of President Corazon C. Aquino provides under Section 21 under Article II that "The State shall promote comprehensive rural development and agrarian reform."
On June 10, 1988, former President Corazon C. Aquino signed into law Republic Act No. 6657 or otherwise known as the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL). The law became effective on June 15, 1988.
Subsequently, four Presidential issuances were released in July 1987 after 48 nationwide consultations before the actual law was enacted.
President Corazon C. Aquino enacted the following laws:
President Fidel V. Ramos (1992-1998) When President Fidel V. Ramos formally took over in 1992, his administration came face to face with publics who have lost confidence in the agrarian reform program. His administration committed to the vision "Fairer, faster and more meaningful implementation of the Agrarian Reform Program.
President Fidel V. Ramos enacted the following laws:
President Joseph E. Estrada (1998-2000) "ERAP PARA SA MAHIRAP'. This was the battle cry that endeared President Joseph Estrada and made him very popular during the 1998 presidential election.
President Joseph E. Estrada initiated the enactment of the following law:
During his administration, President Estrada launched the Magkabalikat Para sa Kaunlarang Agraryo or MAGKASAKA. The DAR forged into joint ventures with private investors into agrarian sector to make FBs competitive.
However, the Estrada Administration was short lived. The masses who put him into office demanded for his ouster.
President Gloria Macapacal-Arroyo (2000-present) The agrarian reform program under the Arroyo administration is anchored on the vision "To make the countryside economically viable for the Filipino family by building partnership and promoting social equity and new economic opportunities towards lasting peace and sustainable rural development."

Palawan has the largest forest in the Philippines. Did you know that almost all of the Philippines was once completely forested? As of 1988, Palawan contained 7,410 square kilometers (km2 )(54 percent) of total forest remaining. At the time this was the highest percentage of any of the Philippines' large islands. Palawan itself is the sixth largest of the Philippine Islands. Sad to say, habitat destruction like logging and shifting cultivation/slash-and-burn (kaingin) brought much threat to the diverse fauna and flora of the ecoregion. Today, scores of animal species and plants are endemic, endangered or threatened. - Manuelle Gwen I. Bayeng
