Jakarta –
Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menko Marves) Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan reveals strategies to prevent a number of islands in Riau from sinking. One of them is related to mangrove planting.
This was stated by Luhut in the West Merdeka Forum 9 discussion event which was broadcast via YouTube FMB9ID_IKP, Monday (25/9/2023). Initially, a journalist asked Luhut about the 4 islands in Riau which were in danger of sinking.
“There are four islands in Riau in danger of sinking and disappearing from the surface, what concrete strategic steps is the government taking?” asked the journalist.
Luhut responded. According to Luhut, there are two things that need to be highlighted.
“One, the problem of increasing global temperatures by one and a half degrees. We really need that, try not to let it happen,” explained Luhut.
The next step is related to planting mangroves. However, the problem is that local residents, explained Luhut, often cut mangroves to make charcoal.
“Secondly, we must do the planting of mangroves around the coastline together, not just the government,” said Luhut.
He asked people who often cut mangroves to look for other jobs. “Find another search, don’t cut Mangroves because I also just found out that the best quality food is Mangrove charcoal. It’s a hassle if you want to do that, plant Mangroves according to the number. If you cut one, plant it. two,” explained Luhut.
