International Bamboo and Rattan Organization (INBAR)

International Day for the Eradication of Poverty At INBAR, we believe #bamboo and #rattan are more than just renewable resources—they are powerful tools for sustainable development and poverty alleviation. Bamboo and rattan provide an important source of livelihood for millions of people, particularly in rural areas. By empowering these communities to harness the potential of bamboo and rattan, we create sustainable jobs, promote green economies, and contribute to resilient ecosystems. By promoting and developing sustainable bamboo and rattan sectors, we are turning natural resources into opportunities for green growth and community empowerment, #thinkbamboo!🎋 Learn more: https://ow.ly/uy3M50TNfbl #EradicatePoverty #SustainableDevelopment #GreenEconomy #INBAR

Happy World Migratory Bird Day! 🦅🌍🌎🌏 Bamboo ecosystems can support migratory birds during their long journeys. Here’s how: 🎋 Shelter: Bamboo forests provide safe havens for birds during long journeys. 🎋 Food: Insects in bamboo habitats are a great food source for many bird species. 🎋 Biodiversity: Bamboo-rich areas attract diverse wildlife, creating thriving ecosystems. 🎋 Reforestation: Bamboo reforestation supports habitats that benefit migratory birds. The World Migratory Bird Day campaign in 2024 focuses on the importance of insects for migratory birds, and highlight concerns related to decreasing populations of insects. Insects are essential sources of energy for many migratory bird species, not only during the breeding seasons but also during their extensive journeys and greatly affect the timing, duration, and overall success of bird migrations. This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, let's celebrate the vital connection between bamboo and birds and insects, and work together to protect them! #ProtectMigratoryBirds #Biodiversity #WMBD2024

"By 2050, cities are projected to host approximately 70 percent of the world’s population, highlighting the pressing need for inclusive urban planning and sustainable development." World Habitat Day is marked on the first Monday of October each year and is recognized by the United Nations to reflect on the state of towns and cities, and on the basic right of all to adequate shelter. This #WorldHabitatDay, let's celebrate bamboo as a game-changer in building greener, more resilient habitats: 🎋 Sustainable Construction: Bamboo is a strong, renewable construction material, ideal for building durable, beautiful and eco-friendly housing. 🎋 Versatile Scaffolding: Bamboo scaffolding offers a sustainable alternative to conventional materials, minimizing our environmental footprint in construction. 🎋 Innovative Solutions: Engineered bamboo, a highly adaptable material, is perfect for modern building and infrastructure projects, blending sustainability with innovation. Swipe through the photos to see how bamboo is used in each of these roles! Let’s build a greener future where cities grow in harmony with nature! #SustainableHousing #ResilientConstruction #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendly #SustainableDevelopment #UrbanOctober UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme)

Meet the Brazilian Bamboo Network! 🎋 The Brazilian Bamboo Network (RBB) is an organization dedicated to promoting the sustainable use of bamboo in Brazil. The Rede Brasileira do Bambu (RBB) is a research network fundamentally focused on strengthening the bamboo production chain in Brazil. RBB includes professionals, technicians, researchers and administrative leaders linked to interdisciplinary national institutions across the public, private and third sectors that focus on the dissemination, research and technological development of Brazil’s bamboo culture. The main objective is the convergence of scientific, professional, technological and cultural capacities on bamboo at the national level, through projects and other cooperative actions. It also seeks to generate consensus on the positive impacts of bamboo in line with socioeconomic demands, aiming to facilitate the sustainable development of the country and, especially, improve the lives of its poor and marginalized populations in both urban and rural locales.
