I was watching yesterday on facebook by coinsidence a video of strainhunters recorded in my country the DRC-Congo. The area of seed harvest was up north of the city of Kisangani. They promoted our congo-strain but sad they didnt do further research. In the DRCongo or in the congo basin in general there are several substrains. Im a agronomist and parkrangers (and no I dont smoke weed at all)  & Im the ceo of a parkrangers organization called AFRICAN WILDLIFE DEFENCE FORCE www.africanwildlifedefenceforce.com  Also I am the grandson of a traditional chief myself with more than 6million ha of land. Since im working in all national parks of the Congo basin ive first hand encounters with isolated cannabis hotspots. And believe me this on a weekly basis. The pure Congo basin strains are "Wene Wa Kongo" (which is often sold as BasCongo and Pointnoire), Salonga, Mongala, Ituri, and Bili-Uere. All these substrains have theire own characteristics although there are plenty more. (150substrains). I need to disappoint the guys from strainhunters but they are not the only one who came to Congo. Since 2009 Americans and Dutch are comming to DRC to collect seeds. And on 7 occasion they hired my heavy armed parkrangers to join them on expeditions. Me and people of the Congo find it very frustrating that some white fellaz are comming to steal our green resources for to make money in the west. Therefore I came to the decision to grow 100ha and more of these plants myself. So I can later sell them online. I was wondering if anyone can bring me in contact with influential weed magazines? So I can promote this idea. Feel free to contact me on *****@****.com

Hi Jean,

 

Thanks for your message, I have emailed you the details of what we do in Congo and hopefully we can meet up, because you might not be aware, but we are still in Congo, since 2 years. Franco contracted cerebral  malaria shortly after we filmed the documentary with VICE/HBO, and died on the 2nd of January 2017, we however picked up the pieces and are currently still there.

 

We are currently still in Congo working on our Malaria, HIV and Diarrhoea project.

 

look forward to you responding to my email. 

 

Thanks

Purpose of Strain Hunters

Our planet is home to millions of species of animal and plants with their own habitat, and each plays a unique role in the perfect design of nature. Unfortunately many species of plants and animals are victim of uncontrolled human development. The sole intent of Strain Hunters is to identify, locate and retrieve cannabis landraces that have not yet been studied, in order to give scientists and doctors the possibility to further enhance knowledge of the cannabis plant in the medicinal field.


Preservation of Landraces

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.

Cannabis should not be illegal


One of the goals of the United Nations, published years ago in official reports, was to wipe out the cannabis plant from the face of the earth by the year 2010. In reality this is far from being achieved, because man keeps using the cannabis plant for religious, medicinal and recreational purposes no matter what the law says. Most cultures cannot comprehend how a plant can be made illegal. In most people’s perception, plants and animals stand above a status of legality or illegality, they just exist in a higher design of nature that goes beyond human laws and regulations.

Nevertheless most governments of cannabis- producing countries are implementing drastic measures to destroy crops. Dangerous chemicals are sprayed over fields and over the farmers themselves in most of the third world countries, and the poorest people of the planet are the ones paying the highest price for cultivating a plant that does not kill. But in the economy of scale, where demand dictates supply, the poorest people of the planet have no choice but to cultivate cannabis as a cash crop to feed their children and send them to school. Communities that are isolated in remote areas in the poorest regions of the planet are often the keepers of very special landraces.
