The Bali provisional government was supposed to release around 200 million mosquitoes carrying the Wolbachia bacteria on Monday, November 13, in an attempt to reduce dengue fever cases caused by the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. However, the Health Ministry-approved program had to be put on hold due to strong rejection from the locals.
Maxi Rein Rondonuwu, the Director-General of Disease Prevention and Control of the Health Ministry, said, the Wolbachia mosquitoes would also be released in five cities, namely, Bontang (East Kalimantan), Kupang (East Nusa Tenggara), Bandung (West Java), Semarang (Central Java) and West Jakarta, where there was little or no rejection from the residents.
2. Acknowledging the Profession's Financing Role in Climate Adaptation Programs
Now, Indonesia is home to numerous government and non-governmental organizations' climate change adaptation initiatives. Even though most activities have a modest scope, focus, and selection of interventions, they nevertheless promote effective learning and can be fully realized with careful and efficient management.
The ability to recognize the ways in which ecosystems and communities are sensitive to both climatic variability and change, as well as the internal and external factors influencing these vulnerabilities, is essential for the design, implementation, and evaluation of policies and programs aimed at adapting to climate change.
3. Anies Baswedan to Visit Palestine if Elected President
Presidential candidate Anies Baswedan said that Palestine is one of the three countries on his priority list to visit if he is elected as the President in 2024. He said that during the rapid question session at the Conference on Indonesian Foreign Policy 2023 (CIFP 2023), on Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023.
Anies chose Palestine as a moral support for the country to get true freedom.
