After the survey and\u00a0area research,\u00a0found that land in Aru unsuitable for cultivates cane, ‘ said minister of forestry Zulkifli Hasan when met Ekuatorial in his office in Manggala Wanabhakti, Jakarta, Friday (11\/4).<\/p>\n

Minister Zulkifli commented\u00a0on the plan of opening up to 500 thousand\u00a0ha\u00a0sugar cane plantation in Aru, Maluku, that is rejected by many environmental activists because it is predicted will destroy forest and environment in the island.<\/p>\n

According to the minister, the slope of land in Aru causing sugar cane plantation not visible and unfavorable economically, said Zulkifli. He also expressed that the plan planting cane is related to the efforts of the government in reducing the number of sugar national import that has reached 3 million tons per year.<\/p>\n

This minister’s statement absorbs the opinion from Pjs Maluku Governor \u00a0Saut Situmorang, after holding limited meeting between PT. Menara Group (MG), and Lantamal Papua and representatives from local government\u00a0last February, 6. At that time Saut commented that Aru is just a stretch of reeds in which investors should get a chance to manage land in Aru.<\/p>\n

Before this, PT Menara Group as the national plantation companies claimed has received permission to manage 500 thousand\u00a0hectares of land, or 76% of the forest in Aru.\u00a0Permission received by consortium of 28 companies is \u00a0Plantation Business License\u00a0(PBL) from former Aru Regent Teddy Tangko and recommendations of discharge forest areas signed by the former Moluccas Governor Karel Albert Ralahalu.<\/p>\n

Triggering conflict, \u00a0rejection extends<\/strong><\/p>\n

The stub of mega\u00a0project in Aru have\u00a0been started since 2007. Since then, the company with the support from the local government is rumored to intensive testing feasibility of land as well as the approach to local communities. However, as spoken by one of the\u00a0inisator\u00a0movement #SaveAru, Jacky Manuputty when contacted on Tuesday (8\/4),\u00a0indigenous people as landowners intensively refuse that.<\/p>\n

People in 117 village has held a ritual “sasi”, closing the forest Ulayat. Eighty\u00a0village chief and the owner of\u00a0petuanan\u00a0also have agreed signed a letter of refusal on duty stamp\u00a0sent to the various institutions, including to the company, said Jacky. He\u00a0also added that motion #savearu,\u00a0petition online made in order to refuse forest\u00a0overfunction\u00a0into sugar cane plantation, until now has been supported by almost 15,000 people who come from various countries.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, an interview request from Ekuatoriall to\u00a0the president director\u00a0of Menara Group Chairul Anhar not yet intercepted since week ago, according to the secretary in his office, Chairul was out of the country.\u00a0Januar Hakam & Azhari Fauzi<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n
