Policing The Police WHY is the tenure of National Police Chief Badrodin Haiti, due to end in July, causing so much heartburn for the President and the political elite?

Outreach: Sustainable Ecotourism AS the world’s third-most biodiverse country after Brazil and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia has the potential to develop a special brand of tourism based on its natural beauty and environmental richness. With increasing numbers of tourists expected to visit the country’s native fl ora and fauna in their natural habitat, the government, the private sector and local communities are working together to improve facilities at ecotourist destinations.

Their winning concept is now being emulated elsewhere around the country. Tempo English reports from Bangka-Belitung and Bahoi, North Sulawesi.
