Deforestation threatens Indonesia's Papua region
Jayapura – Logging and agribusiness is threatening environmental destruction in Indonesia's Papua region, one of the world's last vast wildernesses.The governors of the two provinces in the region on the western end of New Guinea island told an international environmental conference a strategy was needed to avoid the mistakes that have decimated other Indonesian regions.
West Papua Governor Abraham Atururi said that pressure and threats to biodiversity in Papua are increasing. Papua is becoming a target for massive agro and forestry industry investment. His government had received an increasing number of requests for development and feared environmental destruction from illegal logging aimed at clearing land for plantations. In this regard, Papua should not repeat the failure to manage forests and biodiversity that has happened in Kalimantan (Borneo) and Sumatra.
In the meantime, The governor of Papua province, which sits on the eastern end of the region, Barnabas Suebu, said preserving the tropical forest-blanketed region was key to helping absorb the gases that cause climate change. The capacity of Papua's 42 million hectares (104 million acres) of forests to process CO2 is equivalent to the carbon footprint of nearly all the population of Europe.
Indonesia, which spreads across over 17,000 islands, has been a key advocate for plans being floated ahead of global climate talks in Copenhagen in December that would see developing countries paid to conserve forests and peatlands. Deforestation, largely on Borneo and Sumatra, has seen the country become the world's third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases

Emmanuel Octavianus
We need to know that for the moment, Papua Separatist Movement 'Free West Papua Campaign (FWPC)' led by Benny Wenda and Richard Samuelson, actively mobilize the international forces in the UK. Looks like this organization actively campaigning for the independence of Papua, by manipulating the facts to influence international opinion, in order to achieve support for its struggle to separate Papua from the Republic of Indonesia.
Indonesian society knows that the Papuan situation today, compared to 15 years ago has started to improve, even more so since the era of reform emerged, and dignity, the dignity of society are protected, then the society free from fear and discrimination.
In order to succeed in Papua Special Autonomy program, the main thing needed is a system of government dibenahai in Papua. This must be done, because it must be adjusted with the breath of Autonomy Act specifically, in order to improve public services in Papua.
In the meantime, do with a group of Papuan independence supporters outside the country, which until now often maneuver, as happened in England with sponsored by the 'Free West Papua Campaign' or (FWPC). Maneuver is a major threat to the integrity of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). FWPC separatist movement active campaigning and mobilizing an international force for the independence of Papua, to discredit the Government of Indonesia.
The aim of the Papuan separatist movement abroad is, to gain political support from the local state, which then are directed to the international world, in order to achieve its goal to separate Papua from the Republic of Indonesia or to self-determination (Self Determination). All efforts are made is as a way to provoke the UN response.
