And the answer to that question is that of course the corporations, you know, they, they, especially in the, in the sector that are in the extracting sector, like in the nickel oil and gas. So they’re really responsible in terms of the urban development that, you know, make a lot of land cover changes for agriculture, for instance, and also for forest.

Well, that's a pretty interesting question. At my work right now, we focus on topics called ESG, or Environment, Social, and Governance. It is a concept that is well known globally, not only in developing countries but also in developed countries like Indonesia. A lot of think tanks, a lot of NGOs, and a lot of private sectors are concerned about these topics. The answer to that question is that, of course, corporations, especially in the extracting sector, like in nickel, oil, and gas, are really responsible for urban development. They cause significant land cover changes for agriculture, for instance, and also for forests. Forests provide many benefits for the people and the environment. I believe that corporations have to really make amends for what they have done to the environment, especially in the extracting sector. The things they could do, their responsibilities, include planting mangroves, reforesting, and planting a lot of trees. They also need to be proactive in their efforts.
