BROKEN OUR FOREST

in #life8 years ago (edited)

Stupidity has a life threatening

When I visited a friend who invited me into her garden I tersetak keheran amazement. because my friend's idea, which is planned garden or hers indigenous forests would be planted with oil palm.
And I also see with the eyes of his head that I'm proud of the forest had been cut down and burned her. I also give suggestions or ideas to try to cancel my intention that the evil anggab plant oil palm.
I was trying to herd her manner polite way so that my friend was willing to accept this as well as to cancel the plant oil palm.
Long story short he take my advice and want to cancel the plant oil palm.
For a time in the land that he had recently denuded of my friends will grow corn, while merehap her back with more plants bermamfaat and I recommend to plant trees nutmeg. And durian and alfukat tree.

I also ask for a permit to my friend was to photograph the land or land in the burn scars after it and I promised him I would visit her next time.

Judging from the aforementioned resistance of the rights to justice life is worth that today continue fighting, in order to tread the survival upcoming keep the forests sustainably.

As a result of Ignorance Ignorance something often generates an attitude does not matter, do not appreciate what they have. All are considered easy. Many people (and especially the general public) only know that an item is used for needs. Along with that, they often treat forest waste when to make a wish to preserve the forest through so many work processes, scholarly study, circuit and processing technologies and 'sacrifice quite a long time.
Respect for the environment and forests' of the necessary precautions to mewujutkan friendly and peaceful nature. built to be a valuable not only when it gets a piece of equipment and is used in life, but also when it can no longer be used (be waste). At least, there is the attitude of the day to take care when they can be used. They should understand, Nature is a resource that must be kept and no limit resource availability.
Forests are not easy to be renewed like the plants that can be quickly grown and harvested in a short time. Need saving way for the continuation of the provision of facilities use a longer life. Ignorance of adults and society.
On "series of benefits provided by forests for human life" is "social disaster" (collective fault) that can not be solely delegated to them as the result of the clearing. Many people involved in it. Starting from perlaku general public and forest dwellers, the base of the forest product processing, industrial products, sellers, regulatory holder (government and organization of the association) came to the general public as consumers.
All these parties play a role in the development of 'insight and knowledge about the need to conserve forests obligations'. Therefore the problem of knowledge about the forest needs to be established and disseminated to the entire community to be a mutual understanding and awareness to appreciate the results of a sustainable forest and our posterity as human beings who will reap the benefits of everyday use.


quotes from various sources

But it was too painful if our eyes open wider to what has happened as a result of the hegemony of oil palm. The expansion of oil palm plantations as a result of misguided policies Indonesia has rolled without increased environmental protection efforts were worth it. It causes greater destruction to the forest and bring in losses much infinite. For a group of people "fertile" land of oil palm is beautiful.
But for forests and the future of the world ecosystem including humans indeed it was severe. Scientific reports and the real landscape on the ground in Sumatra, Kalimantan and several countries in Africa and South America can take us to ponder how the future if the forest replaced by oil palm plantations.
Oil palm plantations and processing activities result has spawned a terrible threat to forests and everything in dalamnyya including humans. The activities of oil palm plantations not only eliminate biodiversity, removing water from the soil, reduce productivity and soil fertility, increase greenhouse gases, making the Earth loses his lungs but also has caused a lot of social conflict and human rights violations are painful. The rest of the forest fires in Riau to oil palm expansion. Forest and earth is already getting sick because of the oil. Time for the expansion of oil palm plantations ended in favor of Indonesian Forest and the lives of future generations better.
Ironically, much of the land is owned by private enterprise and only a dozen percent that belongs to the people. But Indonesia was always proud of its palm oil production is 9 times greater than any other country. Unwittingly pride that makes us did not seem embarrassed by the great sin damaging millions of hectares of forest each year. Indonesia recorded a record as the country with the largest deforestation in the world at the rate of damage touching figure of 2 million hectares per year. Indeed, the rate has been reduced, one of them thanks forest moratorium strategy.
But Indonesia was always proud of its palm oil production is 9 times greater than any other country.

Indonesia recorded a record as the country with the largest deforestation in the world at the rate of damage touching figure of 2 million hectares per year. Indeed, the rate has been reduced, one of them thanks forest moratorium strategy. But is it real damage rate decreased?.

Lest the deforestation rate decreases because the number of Indonesian forests is dwindling. Countless Indonesia's forest area is finished off to be replaced by oil palm plantations. Reasons and background to the economic prosperity makes the country seem very plain to let forests leveled for the sake of oil palm. Finally, the green of Sumatra has now changed with the "havoc" land of oil palm monocultures.
Land of Aceh and Sumatra which is a fraction of paradise was not separated from the target expansion of oil palm plantations. The expansion of oil palm plantations has led to the loss of the country's natural that could never be replaced by anything up then developed propaganda is not funny if palm oil is no different than other woods, that palm oil is part of sustainable forest development.

Palm Oil is NOT a forest, Also Not Natural Resources Indonesia and as are necessary to emphasize not the natural wealth of Aceh and Sumatra. When the Minister of Forestry issued a ministerial decree numbered 62 in 2011, immediately many people including forest and environmental observers shocked and furious, I also grams.
The regulation legitimized palm oil as part of the development of forest plantations. The nation is also considered to be digging a grave for their own forests. Although ultimately the ministerial decree was short-lived because repealed, propaganda opinions palm development as part of a forest growing ever since.
Whereas in reality? . Palm (Elaeis gueneensis) Palm oil can not be categorized as forest plant species. Palm oil is the result of domestication species aimed since early as crops that require.

Some events such as conflicts and disasters often Ecological once hit a number of areas. A number of cases Criminalization and various bizarre disasters is closely related to the rate of deforestation in Central Kalimantan increasing. As many as 80 per cent of Central Kalimantan forests have been destroyed, and half of that is still threatened by commercial logging, forest fires and even more in the clearing of forests for oil palm plantations.

  • And according to the data as well as some existing sources.
    According to the data of our SOB deforestation rate, more than 2 percent, or 1.87 million hectares per year. In other words, 51 sq km of forest is broken every day or 300 times a football field every hour. The opening of oil palm plantations is a major threat to the sustainability of forests and natural ecosystems, let alone it obtained the legality of the government. Unmitigated acreage of oil palm plantations in Central Kalimantan area of ​​791 667 hectares, and it is possible they will continue to be expanded.
    The government should reassess, forest conversion into oil palm plantations. Oil palm plantations is better done in forest areas that have been damaged by fire or illegal logging. But the fact that the opening of oil palm plantations has been done in the area of ​​natural forest, thus a number of the suspect timber extraction from forests being converted as the main motif of forest conversion for oil palm. Clearing forests for palm oil plantations have only viewed the economy and profits alone, never thought of the future impact on the survival of biodiversity and life.

The economic benefits generated from palm oil plantations are not worth the investment when compared to the losses they cause. besides erode natural forest areas that have been the buffer natural ecosystems and the global climate, oil palm plantations also threatens food security for the people residing therein. Amid the nation's effort to achieve food security and sovereignty, a number of areas of food crops suffered serious damage as a result of the destruction of the forest ecosystem, and even some areas of crop production is converted into oil palm plantations.
In addition to environmental damage, oil-palm investments also threaten the existence of local communities and their traditional rights. In general discrimination on the local community is very much going in the management of forest resources and forest land in Central Kalimantan. Often protected forests, forest conservation and mining area designated by the government without the involvement of local communities.

The expansion of oil palm plantations impact on deforestation and forest degradation on local communities. For the local communities living in and around forests, deforestation and forest degradation have an impact on all aspects of life. These impacts not only in economic but also political, social and cultural.

Economy, society will lose sufficient independence in his life since losing a source of food and shelter. If explored more in the communities located in forest areas will be easier to depend on the forest, if we re-cruelty first, mostly local people use forest products to meet the needs of daily life such as hunting and farming in fact rarely also of their harness some types of plants to be used as medicines and food staples. If discussed pollution problems do large factories which stands continually dump waste into rivers and then chemical fertilizers are used, often from the case in some of the river has been polluted that cause fish to die suddenly, the river water can not be consumed again.

Politics, Society local (indigenous communities) lost their identity and sovereignty in determining his life. Loss of indigenous forests causes people no longer able to set up his own life. In Central Kalimantan, many cases states that indigenous peoples' traditional forest loss partly because of the expansion of palm oil plantations. In fact, they were forced to become laborers on their own land. There also are forced to work as laborers in the region rubber incisions with other community and as a traditional miners. No doubt the power of investors from outside is more powerful than local officials must give the licensor that the fate of the colonized people. Not infrequently the result kekeuasaan many bad practices exhibited by investors has destroyed human rights that are in it like, criminalization, forcibly taking people's land, eviction and other settlements.

Culture, Indigenous peoples are threatened not able to preserve the cultural heritage of the ancestors because of the nature greedy, greedy and arbitrary local officials and investors seem to cooperate deliberately omitted some of the sacred sites, Pukung Pahewan, Tajah Antang, Kaleka (the abode of the farm to move on antiquity), Grave Keramat and Sandung, which for the local community itself is more important presence than by having their oil palm plantations in the region. Several such cases that have occurred, in the district Kotim, Seruyan, Kobar, Kapuas, due to the expansion of oil palm plantations has eliminated the massive cemetery, Kaleka and sacred site had expired without the rest and become the target machine running amok penggusur the company.
