Govt To Allow Some Export of Protected Forest Wood
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Source: The Jakarta Post,
By Benget Besalicto Tnb.

The government is considering to allow the export of S4S (surface -machined to a smooth finish on all four sides) categories of wood and logs from natural forests, currently still banned, as a way of boosting the revenue of the forestry sector, an official says. “We’re currently in talks with all ministries concerned. Hopefully, we’ll issue the regulation soon,” the director general of forest product development at the Ministry of Forestry, Hadi Daryanto, said Friday.

Hadi argued that despite the global crisis, the S4S and log products are still lucrative in certain markets across the globe. “The demand is particularly strong from Middle East markets,” he said. The ministry had decided in 2005 to ban the export of the S4S products and logs from natural forests, in a bid, at that time, to help conserve natural forests, whilst still allowing some local value chain development for local wood products.

Hadi said that apparently other countries like Malaysia and China had benefited from this still growing global market, particularly after the Indonesian withdrawal from the S4S and log market in 2005. “Malaysia, for example, has created a value chain system that has pushed the growth of its wood industries. Its logs from natural forests that are first grade are exported, while the second grade ones are used to feed its sawn timber industries, and the third grade ones are used as raw materials for plywood industries,” he said

The Ministry of Forestry has awarded quotas allowing cutting of logs from natural forests of up to 9 million cubic meters per year. But production only officially reached around 3 million cubic meters per year, leaving it unclear whether the remaining six million cubic meters was illegally cut and exported. Analysts have suspected that most of the illegal logs cut from the Indonesia’s natural forests were exported to Malaysia and China with cheap prices and then the two countries re-exported them in the form of logs, S4S, plywood, furniture, or other woodworking products.

Diah Raharjo, the forestry program director of Kehati, an NGO involved in promoting forestry conservation, said the government should strengthen legal certainties in the forestry sector, improve transparency and establish a solid mechanism to maintain transparency, before executing the plan. “If the government does not improve forestry governance then I’m afraid the plan of allowing the S4S exports will end up increasing illegal logging that will, of course, worsen the destruction of natural forests,” she said.

The government has applied legal requirements requiring, for example, barcodes on all logs cut from natural forests, certification of production forests (HTI) and community forests (HTR), and certification of products of wood-based industries. “But still we see lack of transparency and independency on the part of people and institutions issuing the certificates,” she said.

New action

Take Action, 

How can we make a difference?

The simplest thing is for us is to demand that any of our favourite products which currently contain palm oil, only contain palm oil from non-destructive sources. In order to do this Orangutan Outreach needs help to find out which products in the USA contain palm oil. This is where your help is so badly needed.

Option 1:
Please help us find products in the supermarket and other shops that contain palm oil and tell us about it. Go to your shop and look at product like ice cream, chocolate, biscuits, crisps, margarine, toothpaste, soap, detergents and cosmetics and see if there is any mention that the product contains palm oil.

Victory: Police Detain Four Illegal Loggers in Central Kalimantan

August 30, 2009

Police Detain Four Illegal Loggers
The National Police this past weekend detained four of twelve suspects believed to be part of a wood-smuggling syndicate in the Kotawaringin Timur district of Central Kalimantan Province. The four are owners of illegal sawmills and investors who finance cutters to fell trees illegally.
?They are going to be sent to National Police headquarters immediately for trial in Jakarta,? said Brig. Gen. Suhardi Alius, the head of National Police?s Special Crimes Directorate, adding the suspects had put the police in conflict with impoverished tree fellers.
?They put us in conflict with poor tree fellers, making it appear as if we steal their income when we conduct our operations against illegal logging,? he said. The modus operandi of this syndicate was different than that of previous illegal logging operations in that this group issued false documents for their timber, identifying it as legal.
?They also falsified the species of the timber, claiming it was [fast-growing] sengon timber whereas it was in fact bengkirai [ironwood], a more expensive species,? he said. The operation was authorized by National Police Chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri.
Last week, the National Police seized 12 ships carrying approximately 6,600 cubic meters of timber thought to have been logged illegally that was to be smuggled from Kotawaringin Timur to Java. The value of the seized timber was estimated at Rp 39 billion ($3.9 million).
Due to suspicions that local police might lack independence in their handling of the case, 55 police officers were dispatched directly from Jakarta.
Experts say Kalimantan has been experiencing a rapid rate of deforestation over the last 25 years. Currently it is estimated that 1.48 million square meters of forest is lost in the region every hour.

Pamphlets were given out to every one in St. Lukes Church in conjuction of a ceremony cald the confirmation before a short awareness speech about saving the orang utans by Pastor Johnson.
Many people who understands. They really want to help the orang utans by praying with their own believes. Beside taking action to save the orang utan, we also have to pray to our God. Many people only taking actions by their own capability. The truth is that we also need help from God to protect the orang utans just like us (Humans). Other religion great places such as the mosque and church are the places where people truthfully believe in their own religion and pray for the orang utans and supporting our "Save Orang Utan"campaign.
