The situation is very serious and likely to get worse. Because the multi-dimensional crisis in this country has also affected the forestry ministry." VNR: Environmental Investigation Agency/Telapak Central Kalimantan - Undated 14.Various of illegal loggers at work STORYLINE: Corruption in Indonesia's police and military has contributed to a surge in illegal logging that has destroyed much of the country's forests, an environmental group said in a report released on Tuesday. The London-based Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) - an independent group which investigates environmental crime - called on foreign donors to consider tying future assistance to proof that the Indonesian government is cracking down on illegal logging. It urged President Megawati Sukarnoputri to take the lead in fighting corruption. Environmental groups estimate that as much as 70 percent of the logs exported are illegal, including an increasing number from the country's national parks, and that 70 percent of the country's forests has been destroyed. The report, titled "Above The Law: Corruption, Collusion, Nepotism and the Fate of Indonesia's Forests," alleges that the military - through its private businesses - has logged illegally and operated saw mills to pay the daily expenses of troops. The military has long denied being involved in illegal logging. The report says the police and the courts have failed to prosecute illegal loggers, even when other Indonesian agencies, including the Ministry of Forestry and navy, intervened. The report comes a week before a key meeting of international donors known as the Consultative Group on Indonesia that will discuss future assistance. Among the topics on its agenda is the management of the country's remaining forests.

74922 OPERATION BLOWDOWN SIMULATED RAIN FOREST NUCLEAR BLAST TEST AUSTRALIAN CIVIL DEFENSE
This film documents 1963's Operation Blowdown, an incredible test undertaken by Australia to determine what the effects of a nuclear detonation would be in a rainforest. For various reasons a nuclear device was not used, so the test (in the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland) relied on conventional explosives -- 50 tons of TNT. Although today the test seems quite peculiar, at the time the "Atoms for Peace" initiative was being advanced by both sides in the Cold War and the idea that a nuclear device could be used to harvest trees for lumber en masse, certainly had its appeal.<p><p>A device containing 50 tons of TNT was detonated to partially simulate a ten kiloton air burst in the Iron Range jungle of the Cape York Peninsula. The explosives were sourced from obsolete artillery shells and placed in a tower 42 metres (138 ft) above ground level and 21 metres (69 ft) above the rain forest canopy. After the explosion, troops were moved through the area (which was now covered in up to a metre of leaf litter), to test their ability to transit across the debris. In addition, obsolete vehicles and equipment left near the centre of the explosion were destroyed.<p><p>The explosion was intended by the Robert Menzies government to test and examine the feasibility of air burst nuclear weapons for clearing forests and the use of mangled forests to slow troop movement in South East Asia, primarily Indonesia and Malaysia in the escalation of the time against Sukarno and the Konfrontasi Malay Emergency. There was also a view to use such techniques in the later Myanmar conflict and Vietnam War, which were simmering at the time.

What they do is they chop the forest down first and then they burn it to get rid of the scrub, but what we see here is the final onslaught here, obviously these companies let this... The speed of destruction, and the fires, and the burning and everything has gone up dramatically in the last few weeks, let alone in the last year. And this is obviously a deliberate drive by these companies to clear all the remaining forests in those states. Now once they do that, everything is gone."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ian Singleton, Conservation Director of the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme: "If this is not stopped right now, then all those orangutans, all those forests will be gone before the end of 2012, whether we have a dry season of not. They'll all be gone. We are not talking about how many more years this population could play out, we are talking about how many more months. It really is that serious. This is the last opportunity to salvage that population." COALITION TO SAVE TRIPA - AP CLIENTS ONLY Aceh province, Sumatra - Recent 10. Various of fire at Tripa Forest STORYLINE: Hundreds of critically endangered orangutans in Indonesia could be wiped out by the year's end if palm oil companies keep setting land-clearing fires in their peat swamp forests, conservationists have warned. Ian Singleton, conservation director of the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme, said the Sumatran orangutans who live in the Tripa forest on the coast of Aceh province are barely hanging on. "If this is not stopped right now, then all those orangutans, all those forests will be gone before the end of 2012," he said. "It really is that serious. This is the last opportunity to salvage that population." The forest - though officially protected - is hemmed in by palm oil plantations, including one that was granted a permit just last year. Land clearing fires, several set inside the perimeters, have sent orangutans fleeing. Some risk being captured or killed by residents, Singleton said. Others will simply die, either directly in the fires or of gradual starvation and malnutrition as their food resources disappear. There are only 6,600 Sumatran orangutans left in the wild. The Tripa forest - which in the early 1990s was home to around 3,000 of them - today has just 200. But with eight individuals every square kilometre (mile), it's the densest population in the world. A half-century ago, more than three-quarters of Indonesia was blanketed in plush tropical rain forest. But half those trees have been cleared in the rush to supply the world with pulp, paper and, more recently, palm oil - used to make everything from lipstick and soap to "clean-burning" fuel. Governments are now trying to find ways to convince the sprawling archipelagic nation to keep trees standing. As part of a 1 (b) billion US dollar deal with Norway, Indonesia recently put in place a two-year moratorium on issuing new permits to clear primary forests. But conservationists say that deal was violated when the government gave a licence to PT Kallista Alam last year to convert 4,000 acres of the Tripa peat swamp. Three other companies are already operating in the area. An environmental group has filed both a criminal complaint and a lawsuit against the government. The Aceh Administrative Court is expected to hand down a verdict on the lawsuit next week.

INDONESIA: MOUNT MERAPI VOLCANO
TAPE_NUMBER: EF01/0163 IN_TIME: 16:12:09 - 18:12:20 // 20:32:29 LENGTH: 01:05 SOURCES: APTN RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: Natural Sound XFA Hundreds of Indonesian villagers were being evacuated on Saturday after huge clouds of ash and rivers of lava spewed out of Mount Merapi, Indonesia's most active volcano. Volcanologists, who have been monitoring increased activity within the mountain for weeks, said conditions worsened dramatically before dawn. Some villages on its western slopes had been covered with ash as toxic gases poured into the sky. A top alert has been issued and residents around 2-thousand-9-hundred metre-high Merapi have been told to leave their homes and farms in case of a major eruption. An ash cloud towers five kilometres over its crater, and lava has flowed more than six kilometres down its slopes. In 1994, 66 people were burned to death by a searing ash cloud that engulfed a farming village. In 1930, about 13-hundred people were killed when Merapi blew its top. Presently, hundreds of thousands of people live in the shadow of volcano, situated about 380 kilometres east of Jakarta. SHOTLIST: Mount Merapi, Indonesia - 10 February, 2001 1.
