on the water contained in leaves they eat. Giraffes are very selective in choosing food. They
always eat young leaves that grow in the tree tops. Their tongue shaped like a knife help

I am always amazed with the diversity of rare aquatic organism species in this place, such as
dugong, dolphin, etc. Because of its high biodiversity, Bunaken can attract many tourists. It
has 20 diving spots with the depth varying up to 1344 m. These spots are the most often
visited by the divers and the submarine panorama lovers. I have tried one of them and I
found it really thrilling.
Furthermore, there are underwater great walls or hanging walls of giant corals that stand
vertically and curve up in this area. They become the food source for fishes in the water
around the Bunaken Island.
Besides the charming submarine park, the islands in this area present the natural
atmosphere. It is something which makes me enjoy staying. There are many cottages,

plantations, President has instructed the Forestry and Environment Ministry to stop issuing
new permits for peat land cultivation for monoculture restore damage peat land and review
all peat land licenses that have been issued. Put bluntly, companies can no longer convert
active forests and deep peat or any peat area into monoculture plantations, such as acacia
for pulp and oil palm plantations.
Recent research by forest scientists at the Bogor, West Java-based Center for International
Forestry Research (CIFOR) found that peat swamps in their natural state are resistant to fire
because they are wet underground, but they can be highly flammable when they dry out
and are degraded.
