JAKARTA: Indonesian Greenomics Indonesian biodiversity value estimate at least U.S. $ 1 trillion per year over the next 20 years with interest at 5% per year.
"That amount could be with the utilization of the economic value of biodiversity contained in an area of 75.89 million hectares in Indonesia's forest area is still forested, particularly the conservation of forests, protected forests and production forests," said Executive Director of Greenomics Indonesia, Elfian Effendi, day this.

Indonesia Explained That He Is Able to exploit the economic value of forest biological diversity of Indonesia, then Indonesia would be easy to repay the entire foreign debt and domestic Indonesia totaling approximately Rp1.600 trillion.

However, the economic value of Indonesian forest biodiversity, he added, did not become a commercial economic base seriously, because no strong Indonesian research and technology in identifying and developing the economic value of genetic resources and species found in natural forests of Indonesia as the nation's economic resources .

"Indonesia has not been missed. Globally, only about 1% of new utilization of the economic value of biodiversity in forest areas that have been done. It was used by industries developed countries, such as for drugs. Of course we must anticipate, not to happen, the cry of a moratorium on Indonesia's natural forests from the international world is part of an effort to secure the biodiversity contained in forests of Indonesia as the raw material business developed countries in the future, "stated Elfian

With the economic value of forest biodiversity Indonesia amounted to U.S. $ 1 trillion per year, so if Indonesia is able to take advantage of 1% only, then Indonesia could earn U.S. $ 10 billion per year. This value is equivalent to 10 times the value of the Norwegian contribution plan that was promised to Indonesia as a reward if Indonesia managed to reduce deforestation rates.

Elfian optimistic that if Indonesia could take advantage of 1% of the economic value of Indonesian forest biodiversity in a sustainable manner and does not destroy the forests, the Indonesian government does not need to create new debt bilaterally and multilaterally, and issued a GS (Government Securities) due to Indonesia every year to get revenues of U.S. $ 10 billion.

The initial Steps Can be done by Indonesia, according to Elfian, was Minister of Forestry needs to IMMEDIATELY establish a team of research and economic development of Indonesia's forest biodiversity utilization of diversity by involving the Ministry of Research and Technology, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) , and higher education experts and practitioners forestry.

"Indonesia should be extra careful about the theft of genetic resources and species of Indonesia. This is a serious problem. Forestry needs to give special attention, not only busy with the agreement with Norway, "Elfian warned.

Earlier the Director General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation Ministry of Forestry, Darori, said that exploited the potential of biodiversity has only reached 20% of existing sources in the forest area.

"Not only from plants, animals but Also a lot That still has not been utilized for Various needs. Good to meet other pharmacy or pharmacy." (Ts) By: Erwin Tambunan (Bisnis.com)
