			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr Bremley Lyndogh, Forestry For Life Sustainable Development Specialist, fly’s to New York on Sunday to speak at the 18th Session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) on 11th May 2010</p>
<p>Bremley says “Since I will be sharing the stage with James Cameron as he receives the indigenous people’s award at the UN, I will focus my testimony to the UN on the importance of protecting the existing sacred forests and engaging the indigenous people around the world on reforestation projects to fight climate change rather than unsustainable uranium mining for nuclear programmes.</p>
<p>My good friend Chris Stone is making a documentary on Meghalaya – where the clouds come home http://www.smallseedfilms.co.uk/</p>
<p>CEO Matthew Ames has joined the Order of the Khasi Knights (OKK) when he wore the Khasi Marshal Warrior outfit during his visit to see the land of the Khasi Kings on his trip to the Himalayas with Dr Lyndogh.  According to Khasi mythology, Lum Sohpetbneng is an ancient golden staircase linking earth and heaven. This peak is held sacred by the Hynniewtrep tribe. A substantial number of devotees assemble here during the annual pilgrimage, during which several rituals and religious rites are performed.</p>
<p>This sacred mountain is kind of similar to the one where the Na&#8217;vi hunters have to climb across floating mountains to get to the sacred site where their big birds or tame creatures they call ikran actually live.</p>
<p>But we have to face a massive challenge now as the Central Government of India and State Government of Meghalaya want to cut down 500 ha of virgin forest and mine high grade uranium for nuclear programmes.</p>
