Introduction:

Read the following passage and then answer the questions below:

Medan: A wildlife trade hotspot in Indonesia that supplies domestic and international trade demand on a vast scale.

Jakarta, Indonesia, 10 May 2005… The Indonesian island of Sumatra is globally recognised as a “biodiversity hotspot”, but as a result of this incredible natural wealth the island has long been a source of large volumes of birds, reptiles, mammals, timber and other forest products to supply demand for food, building materials, pulp and paper, traditional medicines, trophies, curios and pets. Until now, very little has been understood of the nature and extent of the harvest of and trade in wild animals for pets. TRAFFIC Southeast Asia’s report Open Season: An Analysis of the Pet Trade in Medan, Sumatra 1997-2001 sheds light on this massive trade and highlights the fact that much of it is illegal and likely to be unsustainable.

“In the months after the devastation wrought by the tsunami and further earthquakes, Medan has become an even busier transport hub as the Sumatra’s central point for relief logistics,” said Chris R. Shepherd, Regional Programme Officer for TRAFFIC Southeast Asia, and the leading author of the report. “Despite the national focus of attention on rebuilding Aceh and other areas, the wildlife markets of Medan are still very much open for business – in a three-day survey this past week, TRAFFIC recorded over 3000 live animals for sale, representing 123 different species, several never seen before in these markets.”

TRAFFIC’s work documenting the wildlife markets in Medan during recent years illustrates the huge commercial demand for species extracted from the island’s once-abundant forests, and raises concerns about the possibility of long-term detrimental effects on wild populations. Many species of wildlife in the pet trade are not protected under Indonesian law, but the volumes observed in trade through Medan’s markets would suggest that several species’ status should be immediately reviewed by the Indonesian government authorities.

“If the trade in wildlife is not better controlled we are going to see a lot of species slipping further towards extinction in the very near future,” Shepherd added. “Wildlife crime must be treated with the seriousness of any other crime if the natural heritage of Indonesia is to be protected – only then can the livelihoods of those people who depend on legal and sustainable trade be allowed to continue.”

While much of the wildlife trade in Medan is to meet local demand for pets, many species are also exported to international destinations, and often illegally. Medan, the country’s fourth-largest city, is considered an important gateway into and out of Indonesia. Its wildlife markets offer species sourced from not only Sumatra, but also from throughout the archipelago, from the surrounding region, and even from as far away as Australasia and South America. Medan has an international airport and its ports link with shipping routes to neighbouring countries and long-haul destinations, and the city plays a major role as a hub for international wildlife trade.

Surveys for the report Open Season were carried out by TRAFFIC on a monthly basis between 1997 and 2001 in the city’s major wildlife markets. During these surveys a total of 300 bird species, 34 mammal species and 15 reptile species were recorded. Thousands of animals are seen to pass through these markets each year, which indicates a clear need to investigate further the impact this trade is having on remaining wild populations.

Of the 349 species of animals observed in the markets from 1997-2001, 70 of the (20%) were totally protected by Indonesian law (Conservation Act (No. 5) of 1990). Indonesia’s legislation provides for adequate protection for these species but in many cases blatant disregard for the law by many traders and collectors demonstrates an urgent need for an increase in enforcement efficiency and effort.

“There is an urgent need to clamp down on these markets and prosecute those traders found violating the law,” said Shepherd. “If the organised networks driving the trade are not disrupted, and clear deterrents and penalties meted out to discourage illegal offenders, the situation will not change”.

TRAFFIC Southeast Asia recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the CITES Management Authority of Indonesia, the Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation (PHKA). The MoU focuses on improving management of Indonesia’s trade in species of wild fauna and flora.

“Monitoring the trade in wildlife for pets in Indonesia and increasing enforcement action on illegal trade remains a priority for the Indonesian government authorities,” said Dr Samedi from Indonesia’s CITES Management Authority. “We will continue to work with our government colleagues in Sumatra and elsewhere to crack down on traders who violate Indonesia’s laws on biodiversity conservation, and we hope to work more closely with TRAFFIC Southeast Asia and other partners in this regard.”

Introduction:

Please fill in the tables as you come across the words in class. Learn the words as you meet them each day, and review them at the end of each week. One strategy is to take a piece of paper, write the English words on the left, and then write the Arabic on the right. Then cover the English words and write the English on the right, beside the Arabic. Keep doing this until you can remember all the words. If you cannot remember some of them, go back to them the next day, and repeat the procedure. It is also a good idea to write down and learn new words every day. You can add other words that you do not know to the lists.

This workbook is for the Orang Usli children, who must encounter great culture shock when they move from living with their families to living in the schools. Perhaps they will take pride in describing their environment to their teachers. It is perhaps most suitable for years 5 and/or 6. If it is simplified, it can be used with younger children. Copies can be placed in the SAL room and/or library, or it can be used in the classroom to help with writing and as an aid to discussion.

Draw a map of the area around your school. Make sure you mark your house on it, and the path or road you follow to get here.
