NOW IN ENGLISH
🌴🌆 “Nusantara: The New Capital, Are Animals in Danger?” 🐒🐬🌴
Hey everyone! Indonesia’s new capital, Nusantara, is being called a “forest city,” but experts are worried that its construction could harm the animals living in the area and lead to conflicts with humans. 😕
In Balikpapan, Indonesia, a small red car stopped and threw some yellow crackers to the southern pig-tailed macaques. They quickly ran over and devoured the food in no time. 🐒🍪
Previously, this road didn’t have many people or macaques on it, but now, due to the construction of Nusantara, the macaques are drawn to the easy food source. Locals say they rarely used to see them. 🚗🌳
Jakarta, the current capital, has over 11 million residents and faces many problems such as pollution, sinking land, and rising sea levels. So the Indonesian government is building a new capital on Borneo island, which is rich in biodiversity. 🏙️🏞️
The plan for Nusantara is to be green, with 75% green space, and the goal is to be carbon neutral by 2045. However, conservationists are concerned about the impact on orangutans, dolphins, and other animals, as well as the public’s lack of conservation knowledge. 🌴🐬🦧
The government needs to teach people how to live with the animals. If they don’t, there is a risk of harmful conflicts between humans and animals, which would lead to a loss of biodiversity. 😟🌍
The government claims they are prioritizing wildlife protection, and they will educate all workers and locals on how to live with the animals in this “forest city.” They are even setting up a wildlife response unit and call center. 📞🐾
But there are dangerous conflicts too. Large ships and mangrove clearings are causing crocodiles to attack local fishermen. 🚢🐊
The new capital will be big, four times the size of Jakarta. There is plenty of untouched primary forest and mangroves where the endangered proboscis monkey lives. 🌴🐵
Balikpapan Bay, where Nusantara’s harbor will be, has 1,400 proboscis monkeys and is home to the critically endangered Irrawaddy dolphin. The most recent count from 2015 showed only 71 dolphins left. 🌊🐬
The construction and population increase in Balikpapan Bay will put stress on the dolphins’ environment. Orangutans could also be affected by the Nusantara project, with 200 of them living in a local sanctuary. 🏗️🦧
The Nusantara project has the opportunity to show the government’s commitment to protecting orangutans. The government says they are planning carefully and will not convert the mangroves or disturb the orangutan sanctuary. 🌿🦧
So, we’ll see, right? The new capital is coming, and everyone hopes that the animals, the environment, and the people can all live together in harmony. 🌺🌴🐒🐬🦧🙏
