Stop burning the forest


Stop burning the forest
The Issue
Local people in Tanjung Bira, South Sulawesi Indonesia started claiming the forest as their ancestors' heritage since 4-5 months ago. They cut down the trees and burn the forest until now, still claiming its theirs. Few months ago, this forest with beautiful beach along was a perfect combination, harmony of nature.
It was full of sharks, dolphins, and so many kinds of fish and grass but people started boombing, netting and other unfriendly ways to catch big fishes even babies.
Afterwards they build soo many "shops" along the beach selling sea accesories without permission, they even sell turtles and make a "pool" full of turtles then ask guests to pay for ticket so they can swim and take pictures with this poor sea creatures.
They fill up the beach with rubbish and still take advantages from it, more banana boats parked on the beach breaking the corals.
And now, they burn down the trees. All animals gone, can never see them anymore since then.
Reported everything to the local goverment but nothing changes, even more and more claimers show up.
They threatened the people who fight them cause they are locals, so new comers are shit to them.
Please help us to protect the forest, animals, beach, underwater creatures, corals, and save it all for next generation.
