The Indonesian government has been trying hard to fight forest destruction for many years with little success.
Due to this fact, the government plan to recruit 5,000 Muslim Preachers (Juru Dakwah) to help the campaign to preserve our forrest.
According to The Jakarta Post, during a meeting of Indonesia's second largest Muslim organization i.e Muhammadiyah in Yogyakarta last Sunday, Forestry Ministry Zulkifly Hasan has called Muslim scholars to support the campaign against forest burning and to promote forest preservation and reforestation efforts.
The Muslim Preachers will be recruited from a number of Muslim organizations. They will be given relevant trainings and will be paid about Rp 2 million (US$234) per month. And the program will start later this year until 2012.
This is a very good idea. I hope that it would be successful.
