Indonesia's Reforestation Polemic

Indonesia's Reforestation Polemic

Wild Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) footprints are seen on the ground surface inside one of the locations where the Leuser Ecosystem forest area has been converted into an oil palm plantation. The picture was taken at coordinates 03°57'45.0" N 098°01'36.5" E on June 6 2018. The Non-Governmental Organization Sustainable Forest Advocacy (Lembahtari) protested against several oil palm plantations within the Gunung Leuser National Park area in particular the border between the provinces of Aceh and North Sumatra, Indonesia. "Until now, this six-year-old palm oil plantation has been absorbing the community's water pockets in the Gunung Leuser protected forest area and has reaped a series of flood disasters after," said Lembahtari Chairman, Sayed Zainal.

Okinawa Industry Association's Experience Event for Children

Okinawa Industry Association's Experience Event for Children

Can you beat a robot? The Okinawa Industrial Association (Naha City, Okinawa, 098-859-6191, Chairman Noboru Kohatsu, Chairman of Takunan Iron & Steel) promoted industrial robots through a hands-on event for children. In this game, children faced a cooperative twin-armed robot and arranged 10 pieces in a row. The game started with a nod from the robot's "head," and the children competed for speed with all their might. There have been few cases of robots being introduced in Okinawa, so the youth division of the association held this event at the "Okinawa Industry Festival" exhibition with the aim of promoting the spread of robots and understanding of manufacturing. Kasai Elec (Oguchi-cho, Aichi Prefecture), a system integration company, cooperated in the event. Photo taken on October 26, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images
