Vice presidential candidates and the environment

When we check the official site of the 2009 presidential candidates, only the presidential-vice Mega Prabowo which include environmental conservation agenda. And, I think we support fair-vice presidential partner with the pretext of their future plans have kepemihakan environment and conservation in Indonesia.

When I checked the official site third-presidential candidate, presidential site number 2, more news and supports. So is the number 3 candidate sites. Only show news tock. But, candidate site number 1, includes mission-vision, the main programs that we can use as a benchmark to assess the presidency if they are elected.

Especially in terms of conservation. Couple number one is winning. I am not a pro voters to one candidate. Later I will put the mission, vision, and environmental programs as a major factor in my choice.

In the vision, mission, and programs mentioned 2009-2014 Mega Prabowo "Wisdom-Based Environmental Conservation and Local Culture. Conservation of the environment is not a mere complement of economic policy based on renewable natural resources. Mega Prabowo will encourage environmental conservation systemically by placing the community and local culture as subjects or main actors. "

And in the main program elaborated further "the effective decentralization and the potential of the village. The success of decentralization and regional autonomy depends on the participation of local communities, for the purpose of decentralization and regional autonomy to the people to be able to manage its territory in accordance with the potential capabilities. Self-reliance in managing local resources or the local wisdom that is expected to have the creativity to develop local communities in exploring the potential available, so as to improve the welfare of the people ".

From the standpoint of our environmental conservation should have questioned whether it was true what matches later included in its implementation. We should also monitor what is written well, spoken, and implemented in daily life. Before taking the final choice of candidates is the number one partner.

Moreover, as reported by many media vice of the number one candidate pair has a plantation and mining business. Prabowo's assets spread over 27 companies at home and abroad. Domestically, Prabowo had a company engaged in the plantation and coal mining.

In a world point of view of conservation activities of plantation and mining business can have a negative impact to the environment. This is where we voters must be more careful who determine our choice of partner and vice presidential candidate who will maintain an environment to Indonesia next five years.

However, with the state of Indonesia's forests are shrinking every day, pollution from
transportation, destruction of mangrove forests on the coast, coral reef destruction caused by looters bombs fish, forest fires often still happens, illegal logging, oil and coal use led to thickening of greenhouse gases. Thus, causing global warming. Coupled with waste management has not environmentally friendly. We need a clear vision of the mission of all the candidates and vice presidential candidates in the environment.

For example, they may declare will memoratorium logging, moratorium on mining in protected forests, although underground. REDD will fight for a protocol to replace Kyoto Protocol. Making revenues from carbon trading becomes the main income of Indonesian.

With conserve Indonesian forests and oceans can become a rich country. Or declare As with Indonesia state conservation exemplified Malinau in East Kalimantan as a Conservation District. State Conservation can we planned where to build the economy and welfare of the community with the main pillars of development is the natural preserve. Will we?
