The Tropical Forests Forever Facility offers a promising global mechanism to reward global forest conservation, but its success depends on strengthening ecological and social equity, governance and benefit-sharing while preserving its simplicity.

Penangkapan ikan menggunakan bom dan sianida sudah dilarang di Indonesia sejak tahun 2004. Sayangnya, penegakan hukum yang lemah masih memungkinkan nelayan melakukan tindakan ilegal ini. Padahal, melindungi ekosistem kelautan dan tidak menggunakan cara-cara yang merusak lingkungan justru menjadi kepentingan nelayan.

The island nation of Indonesia, where waters teem with coral fish, banned the use of bombs and cyanide for fishing in 2004. But weak enforcement means some fishers in Indonesia still bomb reefs and poison sea creatures. But protecting Indonesia’s marine ecosystems and ceasing to use these destructive methods is, in fact, in the best interests of the country’s fisher communities. I study human ecology. Between 2016 and 2018 I took part in research in Selayar, in South Sulawesi.
