Lawyer Prashant Bhushan on Sunday appealed to the public to stand up for what is right and against injustice to “reclaim our Republic” which is “experiencing” a crisis like never before under the BJP-led government.
Addressing a citizens’ convention organised by Axom Nagarik Samaj in Guwahati online, Bhushan said there was an “assault” on the economy, on dissent, on truth, on civility, on the judiciary, on Parliament, on the media and on government institutions, among others, under the ruling dispensation.
“We are seeing a full-blooded communal and fascist attack on every institution and every value we hold dear in a democracy and in our Constitution. We are experiencing a crisis of a kind which we have never seen before in the country since Independence. So the task is to somehow reclaim our Republic,” he said.
Putting people first is a vital part of the equation for protecting and restoring Indonesia’s vast tropical peatlands.
This was the resounding message from the third in a series of webinars exploring criteria and indicators for tropical peatland restoration hosted by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) in collaboration with the Indonesian Peatland Restoration Agency (BRG). The webinar, attended by 145 people from 18 countries, explored best governance and socio-economic attributes underpinning successful peatland restoration practices and identified guidelines for appropriate monitoring criteria and indicators.
Indonesia is home to over a third of the world’s tropical peatlands, half of which have already been altered through drainage, deforestation and agriculture-related burning, and the country is working to reduce emissions and restore landscapes.
