In
the mid of complexity of the environmental problems in
North Sumatra, LSPL chooses some certain matter as the
strategic issues which are surely able to conclude the
root of the environmental problems in North Sumatra,
like;
Woman
and Child;
LSPL
evaluates that woman and child are the most fragile
groups in every cases of environmental matter
ever. One of the environmental damage potential impact
is the effect towards human health and life quality
decrease. The woman position as the nurse and as well as
guarantor for the next well-being generation becomes the
prime reason on the thesis above.
Biodiversity:
Biodiversity
is a kind of an environmental quality parameter. It is
very susceptible of the extinction process so that it is urgently to be
protected. As one of region faced a speedy crop mono-culturizedly
process by
the presence of some big plantations and forest crop for
industrial purpose, North Sumatra province now is getting
worse with speedy environmental quality decrease meanwhile any
conservation efforts far left behind still
Industrial
pollution:
Water,
air, and ground pollution are as the negative contribution of
the Industry tightly related to the human health and life
quality unbalanced even the threat of death on human being, animals, and plants. For
industrialists as well as government, they still think that
these three pollution types are a logical consequence where we
have to be accepted. Through this issue, LSPL endorse an
evolution thinking campaign on water, air and ground from
exploitative to sustainability thinking.
Pesticides
impact:
Uncontrolled
of the
pesticides use is directly affecting to human
health when
they use them. Some big plantations use a great
number of pesticides and play the role as the
environmental breaking agent. They should be a
prioritized target to criticize..
And
the plantation workers as the victims of their
spraying activity do not accept anything even they
do not get any
attention when they are sick or dying because of pesticides
from the plantation management party.
It
is very important to do pressure action to the plantation
party so that they can start obeying the regulations and
convention related this issue.
Renun
Hydroelectric Power Project:
Water
is the source of life for every single organism, included
human being. But water can be also an energy resource to
energize many aspects. As the consequent result, many
people will fight against other to exploit this kind
resource.
In
Dairy – Sidikalang regency, has been constructed a
Hydroelectric Power Plant which affects to the changing of
river order of Renun and also becomes a threat for living
sustainability for thousands of farmer’s family that
live and make their life on the downstream side of the 11
tributaries where the entire of the tributaries –
included Renun river itself – will be used to the plant
purpose.
LSPL
makes efforts to disseminate fair information by
education, organizing the potential community being
victims of the Plant project so that they have a knowledge
and capability in strong bargaining position to fight
their rights and to be survival of the drought threat.
