In order to reduce human impacts, which destroys the ecosystems, on Indonesian Rainforests sustainable forestry industry and related manufacturing is the most essential. Especially sustainable forestry management within the pulp and paper industry is significant since it can ensure the development of Indonesia’s economy at the same time preserving the treasure of rainforests.
Three elements crucial to sustainable forestry management are (1) strong government leadership (2) zero tolerance for illegal wood with the implementation, and (3) NGO’s partnerships in active conservation program. 1. Strong government
- Strong government is necessary to ensure companies that work in the forestry industry to comply the government’s regulation.
2. Zero Tolerance for Illegal Wood
- When the government takes a firm stance toward the illegal logging, which is the biggest problem in the rainforests, it would have positive effect on preserving the ecosystems in the regions.
3. Partnerships of NGOs in conservation programs
- in addition to the regulations and enforcement, for the future protection of the ecosystem, people's awareness and participation is crucial
- NGO's involvement in conservation projects could bring public's attention and lead to investment and participation in conservation programs.
With these three efforts, Indonesian Rainforests which contain the world most diverse ecosystem could be saved.
