Indonesia lost 24 islands by disasters, environmental damage

JAKARTA, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) — Indonesia has so far lost 24 islands because of natural disasters and environmental damage, bringing the total number of islands in the country from 17,504 to17,480. Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Freddy Numberi said on Thursday.

    Four islands disappeared when a massive tsunami devastated Aceh province on Dec. 26, 2004, while 20 others in Riau province and in the Seribu island group in Jakarta Bay had also vanished because of unbridled exploitation and environmental damage, Antara news agency quoted the minister as saying.

    ”Scientists have even predicted that Indonesia could lose at least 2,000 islands by 2030 if the government fails to anticipate it and take preventive measures,” the minister said.

    The minister said one of the ways to prevent more islands from disappearing was preserving their environments, especially their forests and seas.

Indonesia plants trees ahead of Bali

Indonesia, which has been losing its forests at a rapid pace in recent years, has launched a campaign to plant 79 million trees ahead of next month’s UN climate change conference in Bali.

“We have been negligent in the past, now we have to get our act together,” President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said to state news agency Antara, adding he had planted saplings on the outskirts of Jakarta.

The drive is part of a global campaign to plant one billion trees launched at UN climate change talks in Nairobi last year.

Forestry ministry officials said 79 million saplings were collected from local governments around the archipelago and they planned to complete the planting in one day.

Participants from 189 countries are expected to gather in Bali in next month to discuss a new deal to fight global warming. The existing pact, the Kyoto Protocol, runs out in 2012.

Fastest deforestation pace

According to Greenpeace, Indonesia had the fastest pace of deforestation in the world between 2000-2005, with an area of forest equivalent to 300 soccer pitches destroyed every hour.

Mr Yudhoyono said that illegal loggers and their financers were “common enemies” and must be brought to justice.

South-East Asia’s biggest economy is also among the world’s top three greenhouse gas emitters because of deforestation, peatland degradation, and forest fires, according to a recent report sponsored by the World Bank and Britain’s development arm.

Environmental groups are concerned that rapidly expanding palm oil plantations, partly driven by ambitious plans for biofuels, are damaging the country’s rainforests.

One billion trees planted across the world

Meanwhile, the UN says the world has surpassed a United Nations goal of planting one billion trees in 2007 to help slow climate change, led by huge forestry projects in Ethiopia and Mexico.

The global tree-planting drive, inspired by Kenyan environmentalist and 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai, is meant to counter deforestation from logging and the burning of forests to create farmland.

Ethiopia and Mexico lead the way

UNEP said Ethiopia appeared to be the runaway leader with 700 million trees planted in a national reforestation drive. Only three per cent of Ethiopia is now forested, down from 40 per cent centuries ago.

Other top planters were Mexico with 217 million trees, Turkey 150 million, Kenya 100 million, Cuba 96.5 million, Rwanda 50 million, South Korea 43 million, Tunisia 21 million, Morocco 20 million, Burma 20 million and Brazil 16 million, it said.

The billion-tree target was set in Nairobi in November despite criticism that it would be impossible to verify. It was declared passed less than a week before the start of a December 3-14 meeting of the world’s environment ministers in Bali.

“You responded beyond our dreams,” said Maathai. “Now we must keep the pressure on and continue the good work for the planet. Plant another tree today in celebration.”

China, Guatemala and Spain were expected soon to announce new plantings of millions of trees, UNEP said.

UNEP says it checks planting pledges, which now cover 1.5 billion trees, to see if they sound credible but does not ensure all are planted. It said the totals were still being collated.

Indonesia Planting 79 Million Trees

Indonesia, which is losing its forests at a faster rate than any other country, launched a campaign on Wednesday to plant 79 million trees before it hosts a critical conference next month on climate change. Environmental groups have called the planting program well intended but say it will mean little if the government does not immediately impose a moratorium on deforestation.

Around 300 football fields worth of trees are destroyed every hour in the archipelago due to illegal logging, mining, and slash-and-burn land clearing for highly profitable palm oil plantations.
Indonesia is the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases, after the United States and China. According to the World Wildlife Fund, 80 percent of Indonesia’s carbon emissions are from deforestation and forest degradation.

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said that if current trends continue, future generations will face food and water shortages.

“We will show Indonesia’s strong commitment and action to preserve the environment and save our planet,” Yudhoyono said as he planted some of the project’s first saplings with members of his government.

World leaders from 80 countries are to meet on the resort island Bali next month to develop a replacement for the current climate treaty, the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.

Health check for Karimunjawa’s coral reefs

Suherdjoko, The Jakarta Post, Jepara

Putri Yuanita was impatient for her turn to dive in the Karimunjawa waters, 98 kilometers north of Jepara, Central Java.

From her position on the deck of a Karimunjawa fishing boat — locally called a sopek — she could watch her peers emerging on the surface. Each of them was equipped with the standard mask, regulator, oxygen tube and pair of fins. Some wore diving suits while others were only in their shorts or pants, but all carried waterproof white boards.

Two boats were ready with 25-30 people each. Thirty-nine divers joined the 2007 National Reef Check and Diving Jamboree in the Karimunjawa National Park on Nov. 11-15. The event was organized by 19 marine science students as members of the Marine Diving Club, Diponegoro University, Semarang.

From Sunday through Tuesday, Nov. 11-13, the 39 participants applied their reef check knowledge on the seabed after prior briefings on this activity in Jepara. “It’s my first diving experience in Karimunjawa. With the reef check, it’s indeed interesting. We observed coral reefs, invertebrates and fish for direct recording underwater. So we first found the method to do it correctly,” said Putri, a student of marine science at Bandung’s Institute of Technology.

The simple yet scientific reef check method was designed to survey coral reefs and other marine organisms. According to Diponegoro University’s Marine Diving Club chairman Achmad Mustofa, the reef check program in tourism is focused on the fields of education, environmentally friendly marine tourism and coral reef monitoring all over Indonesia.

“Through this program, we strive to bridge the gaps between coral conservation efforts, user communities, stakeholders and business circles. In cooperation with these groups, the reef check operation is meant to arouse their awareness to protect coral reefs and encourage their involvement in coral conservation in a mutually advantageous and sustainable way,” Mustofa said.

The Reef Check International Foundation was set up in California, U.S, in 1996 as a marine protection volunteers organization to rescue coral reefs on a global scale and particularly in California. The foundation is now active in 82 areas and countries, including Indonesia. A year after its formation, the reef check method was applied in Karimunjawa in 1997, with annual programs taking place since then.

How to do it?

Reef check localities representing the whole region of Karimunjawa are first determined. They are the waters of the islands of Menjangan Besar, Menjangan Kecil, Cemara Besar, Cape of Gelam, and the sea in the core zone of Taka Solusi near Taka Malang Island. Surveys will continue to be conducted in these areas to ascertain Karimunjawa’s marine ecosystem developments. To this end, their seabed is tagged with plastic strings bearing lead weights that are pegged into the ground.

Missing tags due to natural factors and inadvertent disruption have to be replaced in the same positions by tracing those that are still intact. The waters being surveyed are three meters and 10 m in depth. On the seabed, 100-m string lines are fixed for the tagging, which are made more noticeable with white measuring tapes. Along these tapes, divers are required to observe coral reefs, invertebrates and fish.

This time, the reef check participants were divided into two groups on sopek-A and sopek-B. Each diver was charged with examining survey areas three m and 10 meters deep, so that the data gathered would be more complete and mutually complementing. “Some divers may overlook groupers or giant clams while others notice them. All data will be matched to support each other,” said club supervisor Jensi Sartin.

Two or three divers went down at a time in the submarine research with the guidance of a senior buddy to direct them to survey areas and ensure their safety. The divers recorded what they saw, starting from coral reefs, invertebrates, to fish species, on their boards with water-resistant pens, each thus registering three kinds of encounters.

The names of fish and invertebrates had to be memorized as well, such as butterfly fish (Chaetodontidae), groupers (Serranidae), moray eels (Muarenidae), parrotfish (Scaridae), snappers (Litjanidae), lobsters (Malacostraca), pencil urchins (Heterocentrotus mammillatus), tritons (Charonia tritonis), prickly redfish (Thelenota anamas) and giant clams (tridacna spp).

They were also supposed to be familiar with the shapes of dead coral, tabulate coral and brain coral, for example. Any confusion would require them to consult waterproof dictionaries before jotting something down, without having to hurry as they were allotted an hour underwater. Reef check divers can be beginners as well as professionals.

Felix Yonathan, 53, from the Octopus diving club in Semarang, for instance, claimed to be a novice. “I joined the club after entering middle age, when my children were already independent. I’ve got an A1 certificate, meaning ‘beginner’. Reef check diving is interesting because it’s something new. I was only diving for fun previously,” said the father of two.

The same thing was experienced by Sakinawa, 51, a professional diver from Bangka Belitung. “We are all seven here as members of Emas Diving Club — Bangka Belitung. This jamboree and reef check diving is a new experience,” he pointed out. These divers do the job of salvaging corpses from their provincial waters.

“Many small-scale tin mining workers have died on the seabed due to accidents. We lift dead bodies to the water surface almost every week,” said the daily executive chairman of the Emas club. With around 250 islands in his province, Sakinawa and his colleagues are determined to increase the number of club members. “After checking the coral reefs and organisms in Karimunjawa, our region’s marine conditions are not inferior,” he added.

Surikawati, an employee of the Environment Impact Control Agency in Sabang, We Island, Aceh, brought along two nautical vocational school students, Ari Gunawan and Ramadan, and their teacher Agus Fitra to the program. “The reef check event in Karimunjawa challenges us in Sabang to conserve our coral reefs and marine life. It’s our responsibility,” said Surikawati.

The data collected from the Karimunjawa waters, which was presented to community leaders in the region and staff members of the Karimunjawa National Park on Wednesday, Nov. 14, revealed the coral reef conditions in the archipelago had indeed declined since the 2004 reef check. A large number of reefs were damaged by human behavior such as fishermen’s anchors dropping, and diving tourists’ unscrupulous acts. Besides, there were big storms causing huge waves at the end of 2006.

The data finally served as input for Karimunjawa’s 8,600 people (80 percent of whom are fishermen) to take greater care of their marine areas. If the coral reefs around them are damaged, their catch will be reduced and they will have to cover longer distances to get more fish. The forum therefore became a mutual learning process through the sharing of information and data in the spirit of coral conservation.

Reef checkers in Indonesia established the Indonesian Reef Check Network in 2001. Until 2004, it had conducted observations in hundreds of locations in 15 provinces and involved over 1,000 volunteers. With the increasing demand for coral reef conservation, the Indonesian Reef Check Foundation was set up in 2005 with its head office in Denpasar, Bali.

Through reef check programs, Indonesia is expected to possess one of the world’s richest coral reef zones, and gather data on coral reefs and available resources for scientific management.

This country of 17,500 islands in fact needs a community based scheme for coral reef management, and reef check events may be the best way to respond to the problem.

Indonesia’s Adam Air announces fleet expansion plan for next 5 years

In a report from AFP, a representative of Indonesia’s low cost carrier, Adam Air, stated last Friday that the airline was planning to increase its fleet size to between 50 and 60 jets over the next five years.

Adam Air’s representative, Danke Dradjat, said the carrier had not yet decided whether it would continue to use Boeing 737 series aircrafts or whether it would change to the Airbus series.

However, the terms and conditions stipulated by the two companies would play a deciding factor, said Mr Dradjat.

While it is unsure how much the airline would spend to expand it fleet size, Dradjat told AFP that the airline’s expenses were rapidly increasing due to the rising number of low cost carriers in India and China, making leasing more costly.

An incident involving one of its aircrafts crashing in January killing 102 passengers onboard saw passenger numbers drop however Dradjat says these numbers have since improved.

“We had quite a bad time, the first and second month after the accident, but then conditions rebounded very quickly, especially after the Garuda accident, when people saw it could happen to any airline,” Dradjat said.

In February this year, one of its 737- 300 aircrafts suffered a crack in its fuselage. 13 employees of Adam Air were also arrested by police for attempting to embezzle departure tax money using passenger information.

Patin and Baong: The ‘kings’ of the Mahakam River

Suryatini N.Ganie, Contributor, Jakarta

I once was invited to Balikpapan by a friend who wanted me to taste the regional foods of East Kalimantan. The capital of the province and an important oil harbor, Balikpapan is a busy place. The second longest river in Kalimantan, the Mahakam, runs through it and on to many important areas in the region.

East Kalimantan is important historically because by the fourth century, during the reign of King Mulawarman over Kutai, the oldest Hindu Kingdom there, Malay, Chinese and Middle Eastern traders were dropping anchor and had important trading activities with the people in the inland. The kingdom of Kutai and its mighty kings are long gone, but the fame and grandeur of the Mahakam River stayed and other things attracted people to its shores, changing many typical customs and traditions.

One of the interesting things along the River Mahakam is the local food, primarily fish caught at the river and unique local ingredients like the souring agent terong asam (sour eggplant) which grows wild only on East Kalimantan.

There are two famous fish found in the Makaham’s waters, renowned for their juicy meat and succulent flavor. The ikan patin, a fat and meaty fish with little thorns, is covered by a whitish skin and has meat with a compact consistency. While some decades ago the ikan patin was only available in its natural habitat, it is now cultivated and available anywhere, in traditional markets and supermarkets. In East Kalimantan the ikan patin is usually prepared spiced with shallots and garlic, salt and herbs, wrapped in banana leaves and then steamed or grilled, like the Sundanese of West Java do when they prepare their dish called pepes.

Next to the ikan patin, there is the ikan baong an adventurous fish that can also found in Muangthai and the Philipines. In Indonesia, the baong can be found in Sumatra, where it goes under the name of beringit or garingan, while in Java it is known as ririg and in the Sunda Highlands, sigaringan.

But the ikan baong is known first and foremost as an East Kalimantan fish from Kutai. As a result of the industrialization of the area, the fish is losing its native habitat of the river and waterways. Fresh ikan baong is now rare in traditional markets, although it is possible to find it dried or smoke. It is a dark, black fish around 35 cm long, and is prepared in a manner similar to eel and catfish.

The locals boil the fish and shred the meat, which is then stir-fried until it is dry, like the Javanese cook abon ikan. The difference is in the spices. In East Kalimantan, coarsely pounded chili is added to the meat.

Also be found along the Mahakam are bananas, the most common of which is the pisang sanggar, known as pisang kepok in Java and Sumatra. Like its cousins in Java and Sumatra, it can’t be eaten raw and instead is fried, boiled or steamed as a common snack.
