Ladies and Gentlemen,
Standing  in front of you all, I would like to deliver my speech under the title

“ SAVE OUR EARTH, SAVE OUR FOREST”

Ladies and Gentlemen
As we know, people from all over the world always commemorate Earth Day every 22nd April. The idea of earth day is based on the awareness to save this world from the environmental destruction. It aims at making global movements to participate actively in saving our earth-the only planet in which we live.

Our country Indonesia which is known as the emerald of equator has an important role to keep the balance of world ecological system.63 percent or 1,131,000 km2 of our land territory is  forest. Meanwhile the water area is more than 317,000,000 km2, 17 percent of world plant and animal species live in Indonesia. It indicates that the ecosystem and environmental condition in Indonesia will affect the world. In the other words, the environment damage in Indonesia will influence the sustainability of the world.

Ladies and Gentlemen
One of the causes of the environmental damage is deforestation or known ad the destruction of forest. The deforestation has caused many disasters in this world,  including Indonesia. They are flood, earthquake, landslide and others, are the examples of dangerous disasters which make us realize that the existence of forest is very important.

In addition, another effect of deforestation is related with the goal warming or increase of global surface temperature which is mainly caused by the greenhouse effects. We all know , one of the most crucial issued in celebrating Earth Day is the global warming. It warns us that our earth is in danger and we should participate actively to take care of our environment.

Dear juries and audience…
We must protect our environment as good as possible because it can influence our lif, as we know Indonesia has many tropical forest and it is a source of nature which can help people live peacefully, so as human being we should preserve he forest, As Alloh said in holy Qur’an :
( Ar-Rum: 41)

Dzoharol fasaadu fil barri wal bahri bimaa kasabat aidinnaas...

There are some efforts which should be done by all people:
1.      No cutting down the trees in the forest or illegal logging
2.      Planting many kinds of trees in barren forest area.

Well… ladies and gentlemen…
You know that cutting down the trees in the forest can cause many disasters for human beings. Of course it can cause flood because the rain can be absorbed by the plant’s root, so the water will flow to the ground directly. There are many damage causes by the flood , many people are homeless because of flood, the flood can kill many kind of pet, many factories can’t produce anything, transportation can’t run well because the brigde is broken and so on. How horrible the flood is……
Actually, the disasters above can be minimized if all human beings can preserve our environment and we must pay more attention to the environment whenever and wherever, we must not throw away the rubbish, anywhere which can disturb the flowing of the river. We should plant many kinds of trees in the barren area or in the bank of the road. By doing those simple efforts, it means we have participated to the preservation of our environment.

Ladies and gentlemen …
Now, The question is, what is the relationship between Earth Day, Global warming, deforestation and Indonesia, Anybody know? …….Ok
Indonesia lies in the equator between the tropic of Cancer and Capricorn, because of it’s location, Indonesia is rich of rain forest. Scientists states that the function of rain forest is the lung of the world, they absorb greenhouse gas emissions, turn Carbon dioxide (CO2) into oxygen
(O2). It means that if the deforestation keeps going on and the greenhouse effect cannot be reduced. Finally the global warming will keep increasing on and on.

Dear juries and audience…
We live in the same world in this earth. The importance of saving our environment especially our rainforest in the need for all of us, for human being to survive. It is not only for us but also for our next generation.
Ladies and Gentlemen…
I think that’s all, thank you very much for your nice attention,….

وَالسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
