Not destroying forests,\u201d said Emil Salim, former environment minister between 1978 \u2013 1993, in a national seminar held in Jakarta. <\/p>\n<p>Salim, who is also an economist, warned that spatial planning was crucial to develop natural resources in accordance to environment carrying capacity. \u201cThe next strategy is to preserve water and lands for food security and to encourage bio-technology research using the country\u2019s biodiversity,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Rokhmin Dahuri, a professor at fisheries and marine science faculty at the Bogor Agricultural Institute, said that economic growth had contributed to forests and environmental destructions because of unsustainable development.<br \/>\n\u201cDeforestation followed by its negative impacts, such as flood, erosion, landslide, pollution, biodiversity loss, natural resources overexploit, marine and coastal ecosystem degradation, and climate change are problems that Indonesia need to address,\u201d said Dahuri.  <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he said that these problems were resulted from lack of knowledge of policy makers and public on the importance of protecting environment and natural resources. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll this time, environment management has been too focusing on its ecological aspect instead of its economic aspect,\u201d he said. To achieve sustainable development, he said, conventional economic development must be replaced by also considering social and environment aspects. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor areas which have been over-developed, then government need to shift its paradigm and development model,\u201d he said. \u201cMeanwhile, those areas still \u2018virgin\u2019 then don\u2019t make mistakes in its development [planning].\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The national seminar was held by University of Indonesia\u2019s Environmental Science Graduate Program cooperating with Society of Indonesian Environmental Journalist (SIEJ), Geospatial Information Agency, PT Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper, PT Astra, among other partners. <strong>Januar Hakam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read also :<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ekuatorial.com\/forests\/indonesias-development-goes-green-in-five-years-time-says-official\" title=\"Indonesia\u2019s development goes green in five years time, says official\">Indonesia&#8217;s development goes green in five years time, says official<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jakarta, Ekuatorial \u2013 Experts on Wednesday (22\/10) called for sustainability and environmental protection to ensure Indonesia\u2019s development in the long run. \u201cForests should not be turned into oil palm [plantations] but what should be done is by adding more values into the forests, such as for its medicines, using science and technology.
