WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
There is reason for the deepest concern
about the plight of Wildlife in our country.
Many rare species are threatened with
extinction because of the greed of hunters
game collections.
Orangutan are rarely found in their
natural habitat in the forest of Kalimantan
and Sumatra, but one may find them in zoo
and private menageries all over the world.
Ruthless hunters kill innocent elephants for
their valuable ivory tusks, or catch them
alive to perform in circuses. Tiger’s hides
decorate walls and floors of rich people’s
home in distant countries.
If things are allowed to continue in
this way, it is feared that very soon all
wildlife will disappear from our forests.
Fortunately, the government has now
imposed strict law on hunting. Some areas
are designated wildlife reserves where
hunters cannot enter. These include
Ujungkulon and Pangandaran in West Java,
Merubetiri in East Java, and many more in
the other islands.
Some time ago our newspapers
contained reports of elephants which had
run amok in the province of Lampung. They
had emerged from their abode in the forest
and destroyed crops and houses belonging
to the villagers. The people could not
understand why the beasts had suddenly
gone wild.
The strange thing was that the
animals had not come for food, because
having wrought destruction they
returned to the forest. They seemed to
have come only to vent their anger. As
elephants are protected by law, the
people could not kill any of them.
The explanation for the elephants
strange behaviour is that they felt their
quiet life had been disturbed by the
timber-felling projects and saw-mills
set up deep in the forest.
The animals felt their domain was
being narrowed by man, and so they got
angry. Elephants need peace and quiet for
their family life. They also need vast areas
of land in which to roam. They live in
herds, and each herd likes to have its own
territory. Now the government has driven
the elephants back into the forests, away
from any village or lumber-mill.
By shouting and shooting in the air,
the people drove the great beasts to a new
abode in the district of Air Sugihan. It is
hoped that they will feel at home there and
can live in peace and quiet.
