How you can help Indonesia sustaining its nature and environment
Indonesia has a third largest tropical rain forest in the world. Economic crisis, political unstability, corrupted government, unsustainable development, all threaten Indonesia environment.
Deforestration (two million hectares a year) threaten tropical flora and fauna which are already endangered. Some animal species were already extinct from Indonesian forest. To name several, they were Bali Tiger and Javan Tiger.
As an environmental journalist, I have been writing many articles on environmental issues faced by Indonesia. Here are some of them.
Please feel free to raise issues or to make comments on the recent issues on Indonesian environment.

After the vast and fast development of ICTs (information and communication technologies), especially Internet and mobile phone technology, everyone can practice journalism and produce news. This new kind of media then called citizen journalism.
Journalistic practices by citizen are…

Reducing Poverty While Cutting Carbon Emissions
How many Indonesians have ever read or heard about the issue of global warming and climate change? Studies have shown that climate change awareness is increasing, but this is largely among the educated.
