Activists opposed to plan for reforestation fund

Some of the demonstrators carried posters which among others read "One hectare is equal to Rp50,000 plus sin. No way".

Agung Wardana, the rally`s coordinator, said the activity was part of campaigns to make the people aware of the danger of global warming.

"Unless we take concrete steps to address the matter, there will be climate anomaly in all countries in the world," he said.

The rally came as environment ministers of parties to the United Nations climate change conference are holding a meeting in Bogor, West Java, on Oct. 23-24.

The meeting was nothing more than developed nations` effort to force their will on developing countries in managing their forests, he said.
