Bali

It's a fantastic island, beach, indigenous culture and people and also half naked ladies from almost around the world try to get their skin black by burn it directly with the sunlight. Almost a week i was there, it was not a vacation just another occasion which took place there and seems like an opportunity for me to get to Bali freely.
I was surprised when i arrived and i found that this island was so much different with Bali that i have in my imagination, of course it still the same with the half naked western ladies. They said the changes happened when the first and second Bali Bomb was exploded. They still has the trauma from the incident. But anyway, people change and live goes on. So, the Bar name was Apache, its a place where you can hear Reggae Music live. The songs were great and this bar has quite good interior even though they didn't use any air conditioner. Of course nothing free there but this Bar offer you quite cheap beer and other beverage.
There's so many Bar there, it is obvious because there's so many tourists there and some of them live for years in Bali. The question is, how long is Baliness can survive and stand in their original customary way of live. Now they can survive with it, but if you there, you'll see a lot of youth already adopted most of western culture which is definitely different with east indigenous culture.
So, anyway, i'll hope for the best for human being, may be you all should do the same.

Forest Movement Europe Meeting

It was my first experience went abroad and i was visiting 2 countries (Spain and Finland). Spain, it took 20 hours of flight from Jakarta. And i had to took a bus for another 7 hours to Galicia from Madrid. It was a fantastic airport, it was a shame i was arrived there already dark and i couldn't took any photo, but i still saw lights a long the road, and so beautiful.

The bus was great, and much different with our bus here in Indonesia.
So, another seven hours but it was 11.30 at night local time, i was wasting my time on the bus. I had to bought the ticket for the same price with an airplane ticket from Pekanbaru to Jakarta for about 500 thousands Rupiah.
It was little rain when i arrived at Galicia us Station. Freezing and confuse, because no clue at all beside a little map in my hand which i didn't anything about what mentioned in the map.
People in Spain, they are very proud of their language, it's proven when i was trying to get someone who can speak english just to help me bought a ticket or to point me a direction. But i survive, well because i was sure that i can survive as long as i believe. It was cold, i couldn't feel my own hands, i was trying to smoke my cigarette but it still cold but still fun. I took another bus to get to the Hotel where the meeting took place.
The meeting was not in the Hotel but in the Castle, its and old Castle and its a beautiful place, fantastic. It was attended by people who concern about environment from around the europe. I was brought Paper Issue in this meeting. A lot of Countries in Europe import paper from Indonesia, and they proud of it because this paper is cheaper then other paper made from other country beside Indonesia. They were surprised when i show them the picture of Riau Forest which converted by the Paper Producers for Acacia Plantation. We're not deciding anything in this meeting, it was more like sharing information and experiences from around the world. Many of these people have came to Indonesia. And once they had to see what is really happen from my point of view and they can make a recheck on this information about what the progress of destruction and conversion on forest.
Discussion always happened formally and informally, i choose the time when we break time for lunch or even coffee break.
So, meeting, meeting and meeting, quite help but sometimes it ends just by meeting and not an action. We hope for action but needs plan and strategy. Don't want to waste your life for nothing just because you get cocky.
After the meeting i went to Finland, because i had Finnish Visa when i went to Spain. Strange but i had to otherwise i couldn't pass the embassy and immigration, but don't get wrong i was there legally and for legal occupation.
I was staying at Otto's house because i was out of money, couldn't afford for hotel. Otto was fine with i stayed at his house.
Finland is the great, this country only has 5 million people, to little amount. Too many tourists there. I was there for another meeting, the meeting was attended to communicate about project which implemented in Riau and funded by Funder from Finland. Still cold but fund. I met a lot of people and i think the people there is great, and they have a great and good tasty chocolate. Four days in Finland and running out of visa. I was only had 14 days of visa and time to went back for me. Another 20 hours of flight for me to back to Jakarta, not mentioned how long that i had to wait for each stopped in some airports like Shanghai and Bangkok. And i arrived at 8.00 pm Jakarta's time.
Still wish to go there, Europe, and have more fun there and meet a lot more people to share knowledge, information and experience.
Time will tell and so my ability to develop my self to become more useful and informative human being.
Kiitos..........

Ponti The Baby Bear

Ponti, the name of a 3 months old baby bear. Ponti was delivered by the local community which found it around the Tesso Nilo National Park to Balai Taman Nasional Tesso Nilo Post at Lubuk Kembang Bunga village. The local found it alone, they assumed that this baby was left behind by its mother. Now this baby bear have to stay with the officer of National Park because until now the provincial government doesn't have a shelter for animal like Ponti. Ponti is one of the fauna which live in Tesso Nilo Forest.

Tesso Nilo is one of the richest forest in Sumatera Island. This forest rich of fauna and flora and all other specific biodiversity. But level of threats in this forest also high. Conflict between animal and human can't be avoid. Animal usually become the most loss victim, just like Ponti, no one knows what happen to this baby bear's mother. The room of life is getting tight each and every day, no place to run or to get food, each hectares forest has become plantation whether it build by the company or local community which usually in small scale. The most worst problem is Illegal logging. Just like cancer, it spreads every where it wants and in the end you only found empty spaces like a desert and the place where the animal is usually sheltering become tightened.

Ponti now live in the post of Tesso Nilo National Park. Every day they gives Ponti a bottle of honey which mixed with mineral water.

Seems like this is not good enough for this young bear, resource and capacity which will need more fund to get this baby bear survive.

Ponti now sleep in a paper box, in fact this is not right for a bear to live like this, but what we need is help to taking care of this baby bear.

Please, Contact me if you wish to help Ponti at d_kunaifi@yahoo.com or contact us at the office +62 761 32242 (Tesso Nilo National Park Foundation)
