No images? Click here Happy World Oceans and Environment Day, folks!Early June is a special moment for our Earth as we have two important dates to celebrate - World Environment Day on June 5 and World Oceans Day on June 8. To celebrate these special occasions, we have published a series of Indonesian articles on our website. The Conversation Indonesia is one of the most fortunate and committed newsrooms that continue to keep its environment desk up and running. Many other media organisations in this country have to relinquish their environment desks due to budget cuts or editorial judgment that prioritises reports that are more politically and financially beneficial. Lest we forget, Indonesia is home to the world's third-largest rainforest after the Amazon and Africa's Congo Basin. Indonesia, as the world's largest archipelagic country, is also rich in maritime resources. The country's huge natural resources have made it more crucial to discuss its role in global conservation efforts. Here below are our latest environment articles for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!
