CORAL TRIANGLE : Don’t let them destroyed
June 6th, 2009. Published under Life Savers, News, The Earth. No Comments.
I am very concern with the environment. Unfortunately, I do not have a power to act directly in keeping flora and fauna in this world can still grow well. All that I can do is spread the information, make a documents and invites the public to protect the environment around us well. Although it is a small thing but if it is done by everyone, I believe the result is something big meaning.
Currently, the hot issue is about Segitiga Koral (in Indonesia) or Coral Triangle.
Many media said that Coral Triangle on endangered at this time.
Coral Triangle is the center of the world marine life that consists of: more than 76% types of coral as former the sea reefs and 35% types of coral reef fish. The Regions within Coral Triangle itself is Indonesia, Timor Leste, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and the Solomon Islands. If it is measured, coral Triangle is only one percent of the earth’s surface, but the area is a home for 30 percent of the coral, 76 species of coral reef-hill, and also home for more than 35 percent of coral reef fish species. Not only that, it is also a vital area for commercial important fish, like tuna.
The newest research of World Wild Fund (WWF) said that whole the coral reefs-hill can be destroyed from Pacific Ocean Coral Triangle area at the end of this century. That is also threatening the food stock and the live of about 100 million people in this earth. Studies conducted by WWF are presented in the World Ocean Conference (WOC) in Manado, Indonesia. Meanwhile, Catherin Plum, director of the Coral Triangle Program from WWF U.S said that Coral Triangle is a planet’s crown jewel which made from a variety of coral reefs.
From some research can be concluded that factor which can be a threat a existents of Coral Triangle is :
1. The increasing of : temperature of the sea water quickly, degree of acidity and sea surface
2. The increasing of pollution in the surrounding area
3. Excessive fishing
4. The weakness of human management in protecting the environment objects under the sea.
World Wild Fund said that to avoid the worst case in Coral Triangle Area is by reducing significantly of gases emissions of greenhouse and International Investment to strengthen the regional natural environment. WWF urges the world leaders to take participate helping countries in Coral Triangle Area to strengthen management of marine resources, through international action against climate change.
