PALU: Illegal logging activities dropped drastically at the
Lore Lindu National Park in the Donggala regency following the
launch of a new operation to prevent such activity two weeks ago.

Central Sulawesi Governor Aminuddin Ponulele said on Wednesday
that there were no reports of illegal logging activity at the
park after the operation -- a joint initiation of the local
military, police and provincial administration -- had started.

"The joint operation has been found to curb illegal logging
practices at the park," Ponulele said.

Provincial police chief Brig. Gen. Taufiq Ridha said that the
police had established security posts at the exit points of the
conservation area. --JP
