The Indonesian government has declared that a report regarding the country’s loss of almost five million hectares of forest and peatlands since the implementation of a moratorium on deforestation is misleading.
“The report cannot be understood because it’s different from the forestry ministry’s record, which says the deforestation rate over the past few years has drastically decreased to around 500,000 hectares annually,” said Agus Purnomo, a presidential special aide on climate change on Monday. But Greenpeace adamantly claims that Indonesia is still losing forest lands at an alarming rate. “By May 2012, Indonesia could lose 4.9 million hectares of its forests and peatlands. With each revision of the forest moratorium, the acreage continues to decrease,” said Yuyun Indradi, political campaigner of Greenpeace in recent statement.
Agus Purnomo, however, cited a Forest Ministry’s report that Indonesia’s deforestation rate has decreased over the last 10 years. “We invite Greenpeace to explain its methodology used to determine the forest degradation in order to clarify the issue. Determining whether the figure is just imaginary or an accurate figure might lead to the correction of Indonesia’s deforestation rate,” Purnomo noted, adding that the dramatization of this issue could reinforce a lie.
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone, I Phil Luis a single dad from NY, USA, i will like to share this great testimony on how i got a loan from Mercia Financial Services Limited,when we were driven out of our home when i couldn't pay my bills any more,after been scammed by various companies online and have been denied financially by my bank and some other credit union i visited. My children were taken by the foster care,i was all alone in the street,until a day i shamefully walked into an old school mate who introduced me to MERCIA FINANCIAL SERVICES LIMITED.. At first i told him that i am not ready to take any risk of requesting for a financial help online any more,but he assured me that i will received my loan from them. On a second thought,due to my homelessness i took a trial and applied for the loan,luckily for me i received the loan of $320,000.00 from Mercia Financial Services Limited,is a church agency set up to help the needing. Am happy i took the risk and applied. My kids have been given back to me and now i own a home and a business of my own. All gratitude goes to Mercia Financial Services Limited,for giving a meaning to my life when i had lost all hope,if you are in need of loan and you will pay back the loan please contact him,tell him that is Mr Phil Luis that refer you to them.
