Praise for those who care

When our family visited Indonesia recently we read your paper frequently and on June 1 we came across some really great news.

We would like to congratulate the Samihim Dayak people and the Environmental Forum (Walhi) and the 12 other NGOs for the excellent work they are doing to prosecute those responsible for the terrible forest fires in Kalimantan.

We feel deep gratitude to all these people who dedicate their efforts toward sorting out the mess. Many people around the world were gravely concerned witnessing the irreplaceable loss of these precious forests with all their biodiversity. We sympathize with the Dayak people who lost their homes, farms and hunting grounds through this manmade tragedy.

Thank you for attempting to rectify these mistakes and the best of luck for your future.
