如今,印度尼西亚某省的准新人们要多履行一个结婚“承诺”:他们在结婚前必须得先植树,为减缓印尼森林覆盖面积迅速减少出一份力。
据印尼哥伦达罗省宗教事务局局长哈希姆·阿里竺斯介绍,在本周四的“世界环境日”当天,该省的每对准新人被要求种植由当地政府提供的十株树苗。哥伦达罗省是位于印尼苏拉威西岛的一个山区省份。
该活动是为了响应印尼总统尤多约诺于去年11月在“巴厘会议”上提出的一项“再绿化”全国植树计划。会议结束后,印尼在全国各岛屿种植了数百万棵树。
评论家说,这一计划对于印尼来说很具象征意义。由于非法砍伐、采矿、开辟新油棕园及烧芭活动泛滥,印尼已成为全世界森林覆盖率下降速度最快的国家之一。
Prospective newlyweds in an Indonesian province are being given one more promise to honor: planting trees to help slow the rapid deterioration of the country's forests.
As Indonesia marks World Environment Day on Thursday, husbands-and brides-to-be in Gorontalo, a rugged mountainous province on Sulawesi island, are being required to plant 10 seedlings supplied by the local government, said Hasyim Alidrus, head of the religious affairs office.
It is part of a nationwide "re-greening" initiative launched by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the Bali Conference in Bali last November and millions of trees were planted across the vast archipelago after the meeting.
The program, critics say, is largely symbolic in a nation that is losing its forests at one of the fastest rates in the world due to illegal logging, mining, new oil palm plantations and slash-and-burn land clearing.
