Back in December 2009, I did a quick run to Tanarimba and was surprised by the pace of 'development'. The community is finally moving in. I hope that we will continue to observe and preserve the essence of Tanarimba and help each other keep its unique identity. And if you don't know what that is, just take a peek at Sitrac's official tanarimba website.
Just a few reminders once again. More can be found in earlier postings of this blog.
1. Please keep as many trees as possible. It is stated in the title deed after all. And if we have to cut some down (example for the road), it is recommended that we plant six for every single tree cut.
2. Along with the trees, please keep as much of the natural undergrowth as possible. Just clearing the land and planting taiwanese grass might appeal to most, but a jungle is a jungle. It needs a natural ecosystem which includes the undergrowth. You might want to have some clearing for a play area, but I would recommend you keep the other parts of your land in its natural form, please.
3. Blend in with the locals. The animals, birds, insects and worms (including leeches) were there first. So, we are the invaders. It would only be neighbourly to leave them some ( a lot if we keep most of the trees and undergrowth) space and freedom to co-exist with us.
4. It is recommended that we plant only indigenious trees. Please try to avoid imported (also called exotic) species that are not naturally found in the area or along such terrain. It will disturb the natural ecosystem.
Welcome to the rainforest!

Ya i agree what u have said !Keep as many trees as possible i been to this place 40 over times in the last two years can you imaging how much we like this place.
Finally we bought an 1.4 ekar land here and decided to build and live here.we hope the developer could do something on the community facility which attract family who wants to live here like children playground,pool,tennis court and others which promote a family oriental concept.
This place is like a dead town at this moment i really hope more family move in with children who bring live and laughter.
