| dc.description.abstract | The paper discusses how to translate the policy framework into practice in public and private sectors dealing significantly with biodiversity. It proposes three complementary strategies. First, political strategies. The challenge is to arrange international and mutual help, in return for the "cost' of preserving Indonesia's biodiversity. From a strategic point of view, the preservation of biodiversity must go hand-in-hand with the development of biotechnology, the latter being the avenue for future economic development. By giving these issues priority in the policy agenda, biodiversity will receive increased political, financial and popular support, and ease the process of incorporation into the mainsteam of public policy. Secondly, reorientation of current legislation and regulations is important. The greatest difficulty, however, will be law enforcement, since the notion of enforcement implies unwillingness. This should be overcome by the encouragement and education of society at large. Third, economic strategies are also important. In this respect, designing incentive schemes will be critical. -from Author | |
