AMBASSADORS: DO NOT LET FARMERS BURN THE FORESTS FOR PALM OIL PLANTATIONS
- by: Isa Villanen
- recipient: Ambassadors of Indonesia, Consulates of Indonesia
The farmers of Indonesia have started to burn down forests in such a quantity, that the smoke is suffocating the neighbor countries. E.g. in Malaysia, the people have been advices to stay in doors, and if they really must go out, they should use a face mask, not breath in the very high CO2 particle content in the air.
The burning of the last larger Indonesian forest areas will be a death blow to all endangered animals, and especially to orangutans, but also to other, both endangered and non-endangered animals. The farmers' acts are unforgivable, incomprehensible and the Indonesian government does practically nothing, and the local firemen try to put the fires out ill.equipped, and they could use some international fire extingushing help as we speak.
The petition lettel is the one I wrote to the Ambassador of Finland, but there is a web site where all Indonesian embassys and consulates are listed on the right hand side of the page. Choose your country, and copy-paste the ambassador's name to your e-mail, and copy the e-mail address. If only a web site is available, copy the petition letter and use Contact Us bar to send it with your signature.

Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia, Helsinki, Finland
The Honoured Embassador of Indonesia, Mr Elias Ginting
Dear Mr. Ambassador,
I am very sorry to learn loss of the Chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia, Mr. H. Muhammad Taufiq Kiemas. My deepest condolences.
I have an urgent matter that concerns your entire nation and its rain forests. I have just learned today that the farmers are burning the remaining rain forests for palm oil plantations. The smoke is so thick, that people of Malaysia must wear face masks to be able to breath. At the same time they are destroying the extremely valuable rain forest plants and animal habitats in your country.
The international community is deeply worried about the state of your animal protection legislation, for example the sadly famous Surabaya Zoo, but also the worry extends to the destruction of rain forest, they are the last refugees for the orangutan.
The climate change has begun with a force, and the present burning of Indonesia’s remaining rain forests only makes matters worse, because it causes CO2 emissions larger than ever before in the modern age. The loss of local animal habitats is massive, and your country is in the danger of losing all its animals in this process, if it is not stopped.
Therefore, as a Finnish citizen, I beg you to contact the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia as soon as possible and stop this devastation in your country. Please, I am worried about all the endangered and other animal species in your country, but mostly my sadness if for the orangutans, who canno survive without the rain forests.
Please, Mr. Ambassador, help your country by demanding an immediate stopping of all rain forest burning. It will burn in a matter of days, but it takes decades to grow back. The International community is behind every e-mail sent to you in this matter.
