Still Fire
Hello Everybody,
Here is the latest news from
Tanjung Puting National Park,
We are having scary situation, the fire has been spreading so fast and now getting close to our main post, Tanjung Harapan. Just few days ago our team made a fire line to protect our reforestation work in Beguruh, but yesterday the fire blew to our main post which is 4 km from Beguruh, and now the fire is only about 2, 5 km from Tanjung Harapan. If the fire won’t stop soon, we are worry it will reach our post.
The picture in the “FIRE “ album were taken only on the 1st day of the fire, and the 3rd day, by now the fire has been spreading for 12 days, the pictures in the file “Fire in the Park” were taken on the Oct, 11th.
More than 500 hectares has been swollen by the fire by now.
Hopefully government will take a real action, otherwise not only the orang-utan will loose their home but the government themself will loose devisa, the tourists who mostly come to see the jungle and the orangutan will be dissapointed to see a burnt and empty Park
