Coral Reefs Restoration

Now, people restore project in Nusa Dia (that was the center of the restoration)and it was start to do the project starting from now. The project was inviting fisherman, tourist and several organization to join restoring the coral reefs. some participant donate $500 dollar to make the restoration and there was 16 submarine reefs and each of them have 20 pieces of transplanted corals. The submarine was a man made project for the transplanted reefs. A volunteer diver, dive 8 meter deep to attach the coral on every ground.

tiger poaching in Indonesia

tigers poaching in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park was rife before 2002 which was quite alarming.The island is the only place where the Sumatran tiger lives in the wild. It is endangered because of poaching and habitat destruction.forest rangers and environmental groups had worked hard to reduce the number of tiger killings in and around the park.Poaching and pressure from a growing human population pose the greatest risk to the two protected areas where they live.

Mining in Indonesia are used for crimes too

some people in Indonesia doesn't permit to the governer if they are mining for golds. Newmont said that it's equity gold sales from the Batu Hijau mine in the first nine months of 2009 reached 171,000 ounces, up from 83,000 ounces sold in the same period last year. Copper sales from Batu Hijau mine, reached until 154 million pounds from 90 millions pounds in the same time of year. And, consolidated coppers sales reach until 342 pounds from 201 million pounds at the same year (2008)

LOSING ANIMAL HABITAT

These people are trading these animal to another country in asia, not only asia, they also export it from sumatra through jakarta then to another places in this world
For instance, they said, some 100,000 cockatoos are captured in Papua every year, including kakatua raja.
They said that 95 percent of endangered animals traded on the illegal market were captured in the wild.
Also, all primates offered on the market had not been bred but captured in their natural habitat, they said.

most of spesies all over Indonesia was captured only for money, these people open an illegal market at a small place that people could not find/ can't know what did they do...
In Maluku, 15,000 birds -- including white cockatoos and the rare kakatua seram birds were then shipped to illegal bird traders in Jakarta or smuggled to Singapore.

Overfishing

The president of Indonesia, SBY, came to a meeting about coral reefs and fisheries protection. Many people destroyed coral reefs and that ruined the food chain in the ocean and people do it because they wanted to catch the fishes. SBY tried to stop that problem because over 120 million peoples livelihood arev depend at fishes. SBY stimulused 73.3 trillion to help the ocean and economy growth.

rhinos habitat being increased

The rhino habitat is expend from 38000 in ujung kulon and also the rhino cant eat because their just palm trees and rain

indonesia built islands and villages into tourism destination to boost economy in indonesia. indonesian government thought that building islands and villages as tourism destination is also going to give jobless people jobs. that is true but there are things that are worse coming along with those advantages. one disadvantage is homeless people. because tourism destinations needs large lots to build hotels, roads, resorts, and etc, original people are forced to move from their houses. some rich people are able to migrate from their home but some lessfortunates could be homeless beggers there. well, people that are working there can stay but what about their family? where do they live? there will be a lot of families, seperated then. besides that, the percentage of people working there can forget about their usual lifes and started to live their city-like life.

Bangka's problem and solution for mining

People have been mining for a long time and because not every big mining companies can hire every single person that wants a job. That's why there are some illegal mining companies that are not so big. They hire people to find tins which is not allowed by the law . This issue has happened in Bangka . In Bangka the penalties for tin mining are the same penalties they have for drug trafficking . They're tired with that problem and they know if the tin mining job is gone , all the people who used to work there will be jobless. So they have decided to keep their island clean and green. Everybody must plant at least 3 trees . They even have a name for it , its "Bangka Goes Green." So tourist would want to come to their island and they need somebody to guide them . So the tour guides are those people who were previously working on the tin mining.

Dealing with climate change dangerous impacts
Fitrian Ardiansyah and Ari Muhammad , Jakarta Tue, 10/13/2009 12:11 PM Environment
Climate change is a grave threat to the economies, societies and natural environment of all countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including Indonesia.
Unless action is taken today to begin to stabilize and then reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions - action including achieving an ambitious global climate agreement at Copenhagen - the impacts of climate change will become increasingly severe and irreversible.
Climate change can lead to damage to natural, communal and business assets. Some studies typically place damage in the range 1-1.5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) per year for developed countries, and 2-9 percent for developing countries, if the average temperature increases between 1.5 and 4.0 degrees Celsius.
In his 2006 review, Nicholas Stern extended this estimation by stating that unabated climate change could cost the world at least 5 percent of GDP each year; if more dramatic predictions come to pass, the cost could be more than 20 percent of GDP.
Overall in Indonesia, the observed and projected impacts of climate change include an increase in the severity of droughts, flooding, fires, coral bleaching, the gradual rise of sea levels, and the increase in frequency of extreme weather conditions including storms, which will be destroying natural and human-made systems in the area.
Increased rainfall during the wet seasons may lead to high floods, such as the Jakarta flood in February 2007 that inundated 70,000 houses, displaced 420,440 people and killed 69 with losses of US$450 million, according to the World Health Organization.
Hundreds of millions of people live in Indonesia, most of who depend on resources, goods and services for their livelihood. However, climate change will profoundly affect biodiversity, water resources and the economy in the country, all of which in turn will impact its people.
One study reveals that millions of people are at risk from flooding and sea-water intrusion caused by rising sea levels and declining dry-season precipitation; these phenomena will negatively impact the aquaculture industry (e.g., fish and prawn industries) and infrastructure along the coasts of South and Southeast Asia.
The impacts of climate change will increase the pressure on forest, coastal and marine ecosystems caused by illegal and destructive logging, overfishing and overexploitation of natural resources.
Hence, the challenge that the government faces is finding ways to devise climate-smart development strategies that ensure the mainstreaming of climate change adaptation in the country's development agenda.
Adapting to climate change means adjusting natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities.
This demands not only the improvement of national policies - which includes devising climate-smart strategies and mainstreaming these in the development agenda - but also the increase in workforce capacity from national to local levels. To begin with, this requires significant amounts of adequate, sufficient and sustainable financing.
To protect natural and business assets from climate change impacts, the World Bank estimates that $9-41 billion a year will be needed globally. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) calculates the need for $49-171 billion a year - to adapt to climate change alone until 2030 - in which $28-67 billion is required to help efforts in developing countries.
Unfortunately, the current provision of funds to cope with these impacts is yet to be at a level sufficient to meet these requirements. The Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) and the Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) have allocated only $114 million, and the Adaptation Fund, established last year, can accumulate and provide only around $200 million. Some even predict that in reality only $500 million can be gathered for climate change adaptation.
With this dismal figure, Indonesia also needs to seriously prepare its regional and domestic plans to adapt to climate change. Vulnerable sectors - agriculture, marine and coastal, forestry and infrastructure - and areas need to be assessed and prioritized.
Cooperation among countries at the regional level is essential and coordination among sectors and different levels of government is pivotal for successful adaptation initiatives.
At the regional level, for instance, the creation of the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) by six countries in the Asia Pacific is a good starting point for addressing climate adaptation in marine and coastal areas.
This initiative and its Regional Action Plan can complement individual countries' actions to reduce the social, economic and biological impacts of climate change by developing adaptation policies and providing funding, especially for establishing and managing networks of marine protected areas and promotion of sustainable coastal livelihood.
Effective management of coastal resources through a range of options including locally managed regional networks of marine protected areas, protection of mangrove and seagrass beds and effective management of fisheries would contribute to a slower decline in coastal and marine resources as well as an increase in the resilience of coastal communities and the marine sector overall.
At the local level, encouraging news is coming out of Lombok. The provincial government of Nusa Tenggara Barat has carried out initial vulnerability assessment, predicting climate impacts and identifying areas and sectors most vulnerable to climate change.
It is a pioneering work because many climate predictions and assessments have been carried out at a global or regional level. The most important thing is that the results of this assessment were endorsed by the governor, and key elements of the findings are planned to be inserted in the mid-term development planning document of the province.
Reducing and coping with climate change impacts may be an endless struggle. However, some actions taken at the local, national and regional levels can further keep our hope alive to win this battle

Air pollution in Jakarta drops on car-free day

The car-free day is for reducing air pollution in Jakarta, says the city environment agency.

The Jakarta Environmental Management Agency (BPLHD) announced that the amount of dust particles had decreased by 34% , Carbon Monoxide (CO) by 68 %, and Nitrogen Monoxide (NO) by 80 % on the last car-free day.

"That is the result from the analysis seven days before and after the car-free day," Peni Susanti, the head of Jakarta BPLHD, said during the car-free day on Sunday, as quoted by kompas.com.

The number of people that join in car-free day increased to 15,000 this Sunday, the highest figure since the start of the initiative.

The Car-free day is held every second and last Sunday of the month from Jl. Sudirman to Jl M.H. Thamrin.

What's New About Animals?

These days in Madura, state a bull racing every month and become a habit. Beside that, they also state a bull fighting everyday to be nominated as the matador. So people there invite tourism to watch and who win, can go to international as a bull for a matador. No other country can claims that the habit is theirs because everybody know that in Indonesian and Spanish used to do that. But these 2 countries can't understand how do the bull be. I know hat it's a short information. It's the only information that i got from:

APP take care of the animals ..

Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) said that pulpwood supplier Rimba Hutani Mas (RHM) had signed a join declaration to the Taman Raja Nature (TRNP). APP said that the TRNP was found to become an important habitat for many unique animals and protected some species of animals and plants, like: The sun bear, leopard and Sumatran tiger. "With the support of APP, RHM has set aside 9,687 hectares of its government-appointed concession area to ensure the conservation of this important area," the news said.

About 100 mud flow victims from Besuki Timur village, Jabon district, Sidoarjo, East Java, staged a rally on Tuesday, blocking one of the alternative roads connecting Kalitengah village and the damaged toll road. The victims demanded the Sidoarjo administration provide public facilities like schools, mosques, sport centers and cemeteries. They said they wanted to have a normal life, as they had before Lapindo mud flow hit their village and demolished their houses, as well as the village's public facilities. some of them also ask for money. They also ask that each family would receive Rp 2.5 million to rent a house, Rp 500,000 for evacuation and a monthly allowance of Rp 300,000 for a six-month period.

Illegal logging is a huge problem in Indonesia. People like to chop down trees and sell the teak to make furniture’s also to make paper. Illegal logging affects communities that lose their natural forests resources, make the animals homeless, flood, landslide and etc. there are about 73% percent of Indonesia’s logging is illegal.

Wild illegal logging has been blamed for recent flash floods that hit six villages in North Sumatra, killing dozens of people, Regent Amru Daulay has said. Amru blamed deforestation after inspecting the baron area that was once a forest not far from the disaster areas, adding the area was previously part of a forest concession area (HPH)

orang utan extinction

The Sumatran species is critically endangered and the Bornean species of orangutans is endangered according to the IUCN Red List of mammals, and both are listed on Appendix I of CITES. The total number of Bornean orangutans is estimated to be less than 14 percent of what it was in the recent past (from around 10,000 years ago until the middle of the twentieth century) and this sharp decline has occurred mostly over the past few decades due to human activities and development. Species distribution is now highly patchy throughout Borneo: it is apparently absent or uncommon in the south-east of the island, as well as in the forests between the Rejang River in central Sarawak and the Padas River in western Sabah (including the Sultanate of Brunei). The largest remaining population is found in the forest around the Sabangau River, but this environment is at risk. A similar development have been observed for the Sumatran orangutans.

Sumatran Orangutan at the orangutan rehabilitation center in Bukit Lawang
The most recent estimate for the Sumatran Orangutan is around 7,300 individuals in the wild while the Bornean Orangutan population is estimated at between 45,000 and 69,000. These estimates were obtained between 2000 and 2003. Since recent trends are steeply down in most places due to logging and burning, it is forecast that the current numbers are below these figures.

Tiger Poaching in Jambi

The tiger population in the province of Jambi, Sumatra, is rapidly decreasing. According to the Jakarta Post, the amount of tigers in he province was more than 50 a couple of years ago, but now, there is only less than twenty left. Didy Wuryanto, the leader of the Jambi Natural Resources Center, said that if the poaching keeps continuing at this rate, the tigers will be extinct in Jambi within the next few years. Didy also said that there have been 10 cases on illegal trading of tiger parts in this year, and most of them happened in Jambi. From August to November last year, 4 tiger pelt traders were caught and arrested. Most of these traders work together with professional hunters who hunt for tigers in the forests, and most of them send the tiger parts to Jakarta, where it's fur and skin can cost up to 75 million rupiahs.

Overfishing happens when fish and the reef are harvested faster than they
reproduce.The over-harvested of reef also affects the life of the fish.
Moreover some people do the fishing using bomb or dynamite. Fish are killed
by the shock of this bomb and the people will just collect the fish on the surface
of the sea.
This explosion does not only kill the fish but also the marine-organism and the structure
of coral reefs.

What's going to happen !!

This is happening now, people

are chopping trees down illegally.

This is going to happen soon if illegal logging continues.

LET'S STOP ILLEGAL LOGGING !!!

Illegal Logging declines in Indonesia

Illegal Logging in Indonesia is decreasing

Indonesian Minister of Forestry MS Kaban claims that illegal logging cases have continued to decline across the archipelago in the last four years because of the law enforcement.

In the 1990s, there were 9,600 cases of illegal logging compared to only a few hundred in the last 4 years. Illegal logging has long been the main cause of forest decreasing in Indonesia, as the world's third-largest forest country, with about 120 million hectares.

This is a good start to end the whole illegal logging case or problem, i am glad that it's decreasing.

Tourism- animal trafficking

let me take south africa as an example. criminals think that there are going to be rich tourists coming to their land.because of that they want to make money. they train monkeys to rob purses, bags, jewerly and lots of other things that a robber wants. if they succeed in this robbing system, they are going to start trafficking monkeys and other animals. that is another problem to be concerned. that is why we have to stop this from happening to indonesia. this also starts happening in bali so that means we have to stop it right away. before this problem gets bigger, we need to stop new islands from becoming tourism destinations.

using animal for sport

in indonesia have many fish fight. and usualy that fight makes one fish die.

orangutans extinction

cause: 1. predator: aside from human activity, young orangutans are preyed on clouded, leopard, bearded pigs, and black eagles.
2. disease: like most great apes, orangutans are susceptible to many human disease and ailments

effects: orangutan is a keystone species for conversation the number of orangutan is declining fast soon it will be face the possible extinction from this planet.

possible solutions: stop hunting the orangutan from individual and group pirpose.

tourism

causes: tourism make our world dirty but some tourist not make our world dirty so we need to tell tourist, like we make a sign or etc.

effects:the effect is our world will be dirty and global warming and many thing will be gone

possible solutions:i think we need to tell them like make a sign and need to tell him

Mining in Indonesia

Causes of mining in Indonesia:

People mine in Indonesia because they got money easly with that kind of job, because minerals (golds, silvers, and others) are one of the expensive things in the world.

Effects of mining in Indonesia:

Some places in Indonesia that have been used to mine, sometimes that place were the places where usually earthquake happened.

Possible Solutions:

Don't mine, and find other job if can

rhinos

thecause of decline is almost antrely poaching for the horn thrught the use of traps and snares placed in the forest
the effect only around 200 sumatran rhinos survive
the possible solution sumatran rhinos exist only is protected area where they are physically guarded from harm by rhinos protection unit
www.rhinos-org /sumatran/

possible solutions

The solution is actually simple, but for some tourists, very hard to do. one way to solve this problem is to stop wanting tours in tropical islands. what makes it hard is the fact that having a vacation in tropical islands are very fun to do.now that the whole world revolves around it, it is very hard to let go. another solution is to make new islands as tourism destination illegal. but how?? well thats the hard part. we can't dirrectlymake it illegal since we have no such poeition. what we can do is convince people with authority to do it for us, and there we have it. "why do we have to save nature?? Why me??" that is probably what you have been asking. then who else would?? rather than waiting for some one to rescue nature why don't you be the hero?? it's your choice, the impact comes later......

EFFECTS

brand new islands began to be more like a city. hotels, busses, cars, mals, resorsts and air port. those things causes polution, illegal logging, natures loss, rubish, and many more city issues. it will make Indonesia lost its nature which is wealth to most of Indonesians. it also means that it contributes to global warming, since it is supposed to be donating oxygen and stuff, but it donates polutions and lots of other bad things for change. perhaps we will not be able to see nature again. if we don't stop this it's going to continue building up chains. that is why we have to stop this issue NOW!!

causes

People wants to make money, it's the main cause of making islands as tourism destinations. tourists keeps flooding in tour requests in a tropial island. because of that people wants to have certain islands to theirselves. because of the low security, they have the islands to theimselves. maybe if the government made a strict policy about it, we will be able to keep the islands save from being destoyed. rather than blaming on each other about 'who started it' we better try to solve this problem. in my opinion, we could do the least, that is TO NOT WANT A NEW ISLAND DESTROYED by NOT FLOODING IN REQUESTED TO TOUR IN TROPICAL ISLANDS!!

effects of air polltuion

almost allpeople know that air pollution affect our health

we can be affect by air pollution in many ways both short

term and long term. usually children suffer more from the

effects of air pollution

causes of airpolltuion

one main cause of air pollution is carbon dioxide
it comes from human activity like using car

to go near places. You know that carbon dioxide

is so harmful when someone produce it

Mining Indonesia

Causes :
After people do the mining and they're satisfied with their gold . They just leave the dirt that they dig out and they dont care about the effects . So the tailings has gone and is mixed into the water ( rivers, etc). Or they just directly throw it at the river or other unappropiate places .

Effects :
The effects are that the copper contamination and acid rock will destroy the rivers, land surfaces and groundwater. So the mining waste are spreaded all over the water and fishes die and there are people deceased. People also found Mercury, antimony and arsenic which are poison. Or other than that the waste is spreaded into the village .

Solutions :
People should throw their waste in the right place or just use it for digging in another place . People should also make a law about not destroying or throwing stuff in the water or just basiclly people should not litter.

Golden Effects

gold mining

beautiful, rich

sweating , sparkling, shining

Hard work gets good money

throwing, leaving waste, issue

sick, die

Deceased Environment

overfishing is the activity that is the most financially detrimental to reefs in Indonesia and the Philippines. In Indonesia , fishing sustainably can generate as much as US$ 63,000 per km2 more over a 20-year period

At the past people all around indoneisa hunt for baby orangutans for the poeple in the village can have them as pets

when they want to steal the baby orangutans they kill their parents and take the child home to the village. They give the baby orangutans to the people there and have them as pets. When the orangutans are already big and not save to play with they will kill the orangutans.

lombok 2010

try to imagine two pictures. one picture with lot's of people in it and one picture is purely natural.Those pictures represents lombok. lombok is a very beautiful tropical island in Indonesia. this beautiful island is very rich in nature. because of it's beauty, Indonesian government plans to make lombok as a world class tourist destination. I bet you now know where this is going. one picture with lots of tropical sights appears to be lombok before becoming a world class tourist detination. the other one represents how lombok is going to look like after it become a tourist destination. try to observe the picture which has lots of people in it. it creates water polution, air polution, rubishes evrywhere and worst of all nature is destroyed.

Destroying Coral Reefs

Causes: Coral reef destroy cause the temperature. It can live in certain temperature. Green house gas are the main problem, because it can make the temperature change.

Effects: Ten percent of the world's reefs have been completely destroyed and only 5 percent can be said to be in good condition.

Possible Solutions: Experts have found a new way to save and to restore the population of coral reefs in some oceans, espeacilly in Bunaken and Manado Tua, where most of the coral reefs destroyed. The solution introduced is to make finger shaped ecoreefs from ceramics.

the causes of tiger poaching :
tigers are suspected of having been killed and sold
people are killing tigers to get some money
people are killing tigers to take the bone, is use for medical
the chinese black-market is about two products skins and bones

the effects of tiger poaching :
tiger population can appear stable yet fail to withstand an unexpected disaster, such as bad weather, disease, or reproductive problems, authors note
poaching can reduces genetic diversity, which makes the population loss robust
the population of tigers is decrease

the possible solutions :
trying to stop poaching is the almost total reliance on one policy to curb it
bust one conspiracy or monitor one route into a country, and the smugglers will give up

Animal Sports and circuses

Causes
The causes of people using animal to entertain other are people are trying to collect more money. They thinks that by doing that, they can produce alot of money. Beside that people can't understand animals feeling. They just think about their own feeling. They are doing it to entertain other too. They use animal to fight in Bali, Sumatra, Flores, and Sulawesi to attract the tourism.

Effects
The effects are moving the animals from town to town. The animals are suffering a lot. Beside that they are seperated from their families and friends. Also animals are hurting and people let their bleed flows a lot. Beside that animal have no choice. If they can talk they won't do it for humans. Animals are getting stressed.

Possible Solution
We can support the animals right group. We also must thinks that circuses is one of the place where animals suffer alot. We must not visit tourism places exploiting animals.

Animals Habitats Has Been Destroyed T.T

Causes:

• People chop down trees for their own needs
• The forests are being destroyed around the world because their trees are being logged
• Humans are clearing trees and made cities
• Forest fires
• Some farmers chop down trees to make fields

Effects:

• Some monkeys and apes finds food in the tallest trees. Loggers cut the tallest tressa and leaving the only short ones.
• Many animals become endangered; Gorillas,Pandas,Elephants and the Florida Panther. Their habitat has been destroyed and the humans are hunting the to extinction
• Indonesia has lost 72% of its intact ancient forests
• Animals go to villages and attack the people to find foods
• Animal used for circus

Possible Solution:

• Dont destroy the forest by not cutting down those fresh trees. But keep it clean and let the animals stays longer there
• Make sonme laws

Illegal Logging in Indonesia

-Cause-Effect-Possible Solution-

Causes-Illegal logging is a bad way to make money. People tend to chop down trees but wouldn't plant back the trees to replace the trees they've chopped down. People take the teak and they sell it so they have money for their own needs. They just think about their needs but don't care about the environment.

Effects-people always chop down trees but not plant trees. If they continue to do it,soon the forests in Indonesia will all be gone so the animals will be lose their habitat and it would make the animals extinct. It would also cause global warming and natural disasters. If there is no more trees, there would be more landslides and floods.

Possible Solutions-these are some possible solutions:

- plant more trees in the place that can be plant

- less chop down trees

- make the furniture with other materials, less making furniture with wood

- replace the trees chopped

- the amount of trees chopped must have a limit

The Cause of Tiger Poaching

Why do people poach tigers? These poachers have these so-called beliefs that the tiger's brain will cure pimples and laziness, the tiger's whiskers will prevent toothaches, the tiger's nose will cure epilepsy, and even the the tiger's PENIS are made into a soup as an aphrodisiac! This results in more than 60 tigers killed in the last 10 years in Sumatra, and 8.700 pounds of tiger bones being imported from Indonesia to South Korea! And remember, these so-called treatments are completely unproven by science and have absolutely no real medical value. These poachers are just COMPLETELY nuts!

Getting Started

Welcome. 

This is 7C's blog investigating many different issues that are currently affecting Indonesia's environment - everything from tourism to hunting rhinos!

Over the next couple of months we will be posting lots of information, videos and photos about the issues, and giving you our opinions on them. We'll also be thinking up brilliant ways that we can help to solve these issues, and how we can educate the public in order to raise awareness. 

Wish us luck!
