Save Mangrove Forest

This comparison of the photograph in 2011. Squatters wood mangrove trees that often act in the mangrove forest area of ​​the island of Sumatra's east coast states that before they became squatters their mangrove forests are traditional fishermen who are marginalized because of the emergence of trawl vessels operating in shallow marine waters. More than 50% of the total area of ​​mangrove forests Indonesia reached 3.2 million ha have been damaged by the encroachment of shrimp farms, logging the raw material for charcoal mangroves and residential areas of expansion. Until now there is no government effort to reduce vandalism, although it has reminded the UN Climate Change Conference in 2009 Because mangroves play an important role in climate change through carbon sequestration / emission of CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Earth Into the Sea A fisherman pushes his boat into the interior of the remaining mangrove forest between the seaside area adjacent to the Belawan port in Medan, Indonesia. My new friend, who does not want to be named, only said that going to sea is only sowing money into the sea, because of the price of fuel. "Not only loss is profit, every day," said a fisherman. The fishing group, which consists of three people, is now transitioning into logging mangroves for sale to collectors. Reportedly, the wood is the raw material for charcoal that is exported to be used as heating in the winter. Mangroves not only affect the content of the oceans but also the natural wealth of the land. Likens the function of hair on the human nose. Then it spreads like oxygen in the atmosphere. But again, this is between the sea and the land. That's what I had in mind when I had to explain more deeply when I joined the journalism fellowship organized by the Antara Foto news agency and the World-Wide Fund (WWF) for Nature in Indonesia in the year according to the photo metadata. This work is not only my perspective, but also two photography mentors, Oscar Motuloh and Riza Marlon. You will know the character of the two mentors when centralized communication is carried out. The aim is to enforce the wet thread, namely 'natural stabilization' on the topic of fisheries and marine affairs. When the land lost is wider than the sea.
