Precarious future of Borneo tribe

Our Borneo forest is shrinking, thanks to the loggers, and thanks to us, the consumer's insatiable appetite for wooden furnitures, papers, etc. (Btw, "Double A" papers are made from sustainable plantation, so use Double A)

And the shrinking of our forest is affecting the life of the indigenous people there. Read here :
Precarious future of Borneo tribe.

An abstract from the article : "Padang (a person) still wore a loincloth, something only the older members of the tribe do now, but the effect was somewhat slightly offset by the presence on his wrist of a digital watch, whose numbers flickered in the forest gloom." Wearing a loincloth, plus a digital watch, that's so cute... But what does he need a watch for in the forest? hahaha.... maybe it's a gift from visitor.

Anyway, on the serious side, it really isn't easy for them to fight againts the loggers, which according to the article, have got political backers. That's so sad... I really think we should give them some space. After so many years, so much development, they still live the way since many generations back. We should leave them alone, should not take away their home...

People in the forests, respect their forests. Why can't people in the city respect and protect our forests too? It's just sad. The recent "Live Earth" concert, trying to create awareness among us people about saving our planet. Personally, I am touched by the effort. I look up to Al Gore. The concert did not really reach a big amount of audience, sadly. And people just went there to see the concert, I don't think a large percentage of people give a damn about conservation. Some people may be converted, most don't, I think. See the garbage left behind by them after the concert. So ironic. But would I change my way of life for conservation? A little. I won't say a lot. Because, actually I think human species is doom for sure, sooner or later. The way we produce carbon dioxide, the way we cut down trees, the way we catch fish, population growing ever faster... look at how the ice in the poles are melting... we have a bleak future.

Our beautiful planet...

It's just sad....
