Hotspots of Carbon Confusion in Indonesia warming threatens the world more quickly
Indonesia has promised to become a world leader in reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. In 2009, the President committed 26% reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020 to levels below 'normal'. In this total, 14% will come from reducing emissions from deforestation or forest degradation. Investment by government and other foreign agencies are expected to reduce emissions from 26% to 41%.
While international negotiations on the rules about how to reduce emissions and slow global warming slowly but steadily, the government of Indonesia and Norway have signed a letter of intent under which up to $ 1 billion is available to assist in setting up a stop deforestation and forest degradation of the system also addresses peatland emissions. Part of the deal is Indonesia will implement a ban or suspension of two years on all new concessions for conversion of natural forests and peat. "
Prospects as this may sound, the devil is the details. A lot depends on peat and natural forest 'is defined and how the right is agreed upon. Strong lobbying from industry and forest-crops argue that the economy will be damaged "business as usual" if interrupted. According to news sources, the definition of natural forests and peat is the difference between preparing the draft task force emission reductions of the Government of Indonesia and the Ministry of Forestry. There are many important issues that need to be addressed Read full article

A troubling fact that our attention: monocrops tree most large scale received Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification in the world.
In recent plantings due to "green" seal of approval of Shell's fields in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay, as Sappi, Mondi is and SAFCOL is in South Africa, is KLAB -V & M Florestal was in Brazil, Fletcher Challenge PERUM PERHUTANI is in Indonesia, New Zealand / Aotearoa and many others.

Recently,
the problem of global warming (global warming) climate change (climate
change) that will be diperbicangkan hot topics. Yes,
in fact, if you talk to the problem mentioned above, are not immune
from the consequences of the actions of human needs in an increasingly
keen to use its rich natural resources that are actually free from God
Almighty. However,
despite the heat, we must also consider the current environment,
because we are rich in natural resources, and given by him.
However,
what happens now, we can see and feel many things are changing in the
world in which we live, as well as the threatened loss of some island
countries, and raise the temperature of the earth, and very sharp, and
climate change is happening on the ground, and so on. About
14 small country threatened by a loss because of rising sea levels,
along with other countries in the Pacific Islands, the Sychelles, and
Tuvalu, Kiribati, Palau and the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. As
a result of global warming, sinking at least 18 islands in the world,
among other things, the seven islands of Manus Province in Papua New
Guinea. Kiribati,
a country with a population of 800 107 inhabitants of the island, about
30 islands in the sinking now, and coral, while the flooded water on
the three islands. Sea-level
rise due to the rise in temperature leads to melting of polar ice that
has already been written about the way of righteousness "eternal ice"
dikutub. The head of the Maldives with a population of 369 000 inhabitants, and it will be moved across the country. At
the same time, the transfer of Vanuatu's population 000 212 people have
been evacuated, many of them in the coastal villages. This is terrible, so that actually happened, of course, will change the map of the world today. According
to the Marine Research and Fisheries, Indonesia DCT agency itself has
the ability to lose islands 2000 by the year 2030 if no mitigation and
adaptation to climate change. HMM ... .. If it can be a little better on the islands of Indonesia nyeletuk sold well before diving ... ...

Neo-colonialism was born and developed in advance south from the Earth. Natural resources are the property of the earth a little extravagant lifestyle. Population growth occurs rapidly in these countries often fall guy to spend part of the world's natural resources. Luxury living in the north has become a significant factor.
Many northern states in the area of natural forest resources, while demand for wood will continue to profit will be paid from the southern hemisphere, it is not surprising that the demand for timber at the regional level in Southeast Asia continues to grow. For example, China, for example, imported more than plywood imports more paper pulp, more work in your country. China also had to stop wood prodiksi countries, and demand for wood obtained from Russia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Canada.
When the supply of timber production thinning forests, illegal logging began to enter the protected areas include national parks and bring Eastern Indonesia: Pulau Pinang, Tanjung Putting National Park in Central Kalimantan is the most obvious example of exploitation of illegal logging has destroyed the forest a national park in Indonesia.
In addition to state chaotic evil national parks in Indonesia, it seems we still have the protection, including protected forests is very large. We still have a stock of 28 million hectares of protected areas spread over 530 cities, has become another problem is that it can support the conservation area, is a blow to the growing demand for global and regional timber requires spôsobené inváziou oil palm plantation and continued to zemi národnej mining level? Hopefully the government will now pay attention to this issue because the effects of forest destruction also shows the last national borders, such as landslides, floods, conflicts of human nature, the country burns with fire and fog.
It does not calculate the multiplier effect that comes as soil fertility, disease, insects, drought and so forth. It appears that a strong and legitimate government and national policy to support protection and restoration of forest resources is a major determinant of the future of forests in Indonesia, will be accepted
