Alasan Mengapa Kita Harus Melindungi Bentang Alam Karst

Artikel
Bentang alam karst (batu gamping) berperan penting bagi iklim karena kemampuannya mengikat karbon dioksida. Melalui sistem bawah airnya yang kompleks, karst menyediakan air minum untuk masyarakat di berbagai belahan dunia. Dengan luas total melebihi delapan juta kilometer persegi, Asia memiliki porsi terbesar karst di dunia. Namun demikian, kawasan karst seperti Pegunungan Kendeng di Indonesia berhadapan dengan ancaman kerusakan akibat industri semen. Artikel ini menyoroti nilai penting yang dimiliki karst yang utuh dalam jangka panjang.

Dirty Cement: The Case of Indonesia

Since 2001, the worldwide production of cement has increased threefold. Indonesia is an important producer, and the Indonesian market is dominated by three producers: the state-owned Semen Indonesia with more than 45 percent market share (as of 2013), followed by Indocement, of which the German HeidelbergCement holds a 51 percent majority stake (31 percent market share) and Holcim Indonesia (14 percent market share).
