Since 2007, the Teluk Meranti community with NGOs such as Mitra Insani, Jikalahari and Greenpeace have dammed at least 23 channels to stop the pollution of rivers from the draining peatlands. They are calling for the Indonesian President to act by protecting the Kampar as part of a nationwide moratorium on all deforestation and full protection of peat, in order to meet Indonesia’s emission reduction commitments.Locations:Indonesia-Kampar Regency-RiauDate:14 Jul, 2010Credit:© Modeerf Tserof / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3872px X 2592pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Asian ethnicities-Construction-Dams-Day-Deforestation-Forests (campaign title)-KWCI (GPI)-Manual workers-Outdoors-Peatland-People-Two people-WaterShoot:Local Communities Start Kampar RehabilitationThe Teluk Meranti community,Greenpeace, Jikalahari and Yayasan Mitra Insani started the ecologicalrestoration of the carbon rich Kampar Peninsula, in Riau, Sumatra.
