Companies Behind Forest Fires

Land and forest fires ravaged Indonesia again in 2019. Tempo, Mongabay, Betahita, Malaysiakini, and the non-governmental organization Auriga Nusantara team up to investigate wildfires in dozens of forest and oil palm concessions. Satellite imagery and field checking on three concession sites of three firms strengthen the suspicion that companies were involved in the disaster that caused Rp75 trillion in losses to Indonesia. Poor law enforcement and lax regulations may trigger similar disasters in the future. This report was made possible through our collaboration with the Pulitzer Center through the Rainforest Journalism Fund program.

Conversation in the WhatsApp group for Lombok tempe (soybean cakes) producers is animated, though the topic is far from what one might expect from youths between the ages of 17 and 29.

An Obsession to Create

Nani Puspasari's days have recently been hectic. "I'm in the middle of a deadline," she texted Tempo a few weeks ago, as she tended to a photo-shoot for her caf project. Most of her work has been linked to her passion, which is art. Which is why she enjoys living in Melbourne, Australia where her artwork has flourished.

Nani, 29, is fortunate that her livelihood is also a passion that has earned her awards and acknowledgements. In 2008, her paintings won the Bank of Queensland Encouragement Awards, then five years later, her illustrations were shortlisted for the Create Design Award by Desktop magazine in Melbourne. Last year, her works were also shortlisted for the 2015 Premio Combat Prize (graphic arts) in Italy. "My favorite is the Silver Illustrator Australia Award 2013," she told Tempo.

Dwi Susilaningsih Head of Infrastructure Research CenterBiotech Division, Indonesian Institute of Sciences
Renewable energy technology must reach the people

Indonesia is a vast archipelago with bountiful resources. This is the reason why Dwi Susilaningsih has spent more than 20 years researching marine microbes that can potentially be converted into energy. She lamented, however, that Indonesians were slow to take advantage of such sources as the sun, wind or sea currents as renewable energy sources. As of today, only five percent of the total energy produced in Indonesia is renewable.

"And those renewable energy sources are small scale," said Dwi, head of the Infrastructure Research Center at the Biotech Division of the Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI). Not surprisingly, she hopes the government will put more effort into producing energy from renewable resources, instead of from fossil fuels. This would be in line with the commitment made by more than 180 countries, including Indonesia, to reduce global emission after the UNFCCC-COP21 in Paris last year.

Zika: Alert Without the Panic

The Zika virus is causing a stir around the world. Health Minister Nila Moeloek has issued a travel advisory on Latin American countries. The government recommends that Indonesians, especially women, refrain from unnecessary travel to nations affected by the Zika outbreak. Brazil, Bolivia, Puerto Rico and Suriname are on the watch list.

The minister is right to issue this cautionary note. Although there is no need for excessive panic, we should be very alert to the presence of Zika. The virus, which like dengue fever is spread by bites from the Aedes aegypti mosquito, seems to be more worrying than initially believed. Last year, more than a million people were infected in Brazil. The current outbreak led to the WHO declaring a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on February 1.

A Special Inmate

The room is a prison cell for female inmates. But its interior resembled a hotel room. There is a home theater set in the corner. Rows of DVDs neatly fill the rack beside the television. There is also a large sofa and a double bed. In the cell, Mirna takes it easy, doing time for bribery in her work as a broker selling large tracts of land.

Maera Panigoro's acting role as Mirna is brief, only about 10 minutes long. However, Maera gives a convincing portrayal of an influential person who enjoys special facilities and privileges in prison. Her acting totally convinces audiences how morally corrupt our prisons are. Any inmate with money can bribe prison officers for these special rights. And one of them regularly calls in a beautician to give her a facial.

He would ride on his motorbike to the office of the World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan, three kilometers away. There, he would treat people suffering from the effects of forest fire smoke around Palangkaraya. In 2015, he treated some 1,000 patients.

In mid-September, Irzal and his colleagues visited a camp for workers who had been laid off by an oil palm company. Fifteen volunteers of Earth Hour Palangkaraya had gathered to help the smoke victims there. Irzal saw something that distressed him. About 300 people were crammed into a 5x15 meter barrack. Because there was not enough room, tarpaulin tents had been set up outside the barracks. People lived alongside chicken and their pet dogs.

Daniel Kaufmann, President, Natural Resource Governance Institute:
Good Governance Means The Rule Of Law Not The Rule Of Man Prevails

Measuring the social and economic development of a country has been done countless times, by means of various accepted formulas. But only in the last decade has the understanding of good governance as the key to effective development been seriously and intensively studied and researched. Based on 40 data sources, and produced by 30 organizations worldwide, since 2002, the Worldwide Governance Indicators have been applied to 200 countries to measure the country's level of governance. This has provided watchdog groups with the necessary tools to monitor policy and initiate reforms, which also helps to immeasurably assess perceptions of corruption among businesses, public officials and politicians. Much of the work can be attributed to Dr. Daniel Kaufmann when the studies were initially conducted at the World Bank Institute, where he worked. For the past two years, Kaufmann has headed the Natural Resources Governance Institute (NRGI), which pioneered the Resource Governance Index to measure the transparency levels of countries in managing their extractive industry. Kaufmann was in Indonesia recently to meet with public figures in government, the business community and members of the local civil society, and to be the keynote speaker at a panel discussion on 'The Impact of Low Oil Prices on Indonesia's Reform Agenda' which was co-organized by the NRGI and Tempo English magazine.
