    Default America Wakes Up to Lombok?!?

    Woke up this morning to a great article on Lombok in the NY Times of all places.

    The writer seems to enjoy the island as much as all of us on this forum. Could the US be finally waking up to this beautiful part of the world again?

    Well OK but couldn't get the gist of webmasters speech there.

    Indonesia is a beautiful place. Have traveled far and wide and never really witnessed anything that can rival it from its aesthetic beauty. I do like wildlife, particularly marine, and this is where Indonesia falls down. They have a very bad track record in the areas of respecting the local wildlife.

    This is not to single out Indonesia though. Show me a truly wild animal in South Africa these days and I'll show you a large and expensive tract of land owned by a diamond company CEO!

    I wish I could regularly encounter sharks whilst scuba diving or go to the real jungles and find non fenced in Orang Utans, Jungle Rhinos, Indo Elephants and Sumatran Tigers. Unfortunately as these animals are seen to encroach on the land of man it is OK for them to be exterminated, butchered and sold as bush meat.

    Just a rant!
