5) Green Crimes – to be reported or to be ignored?

Source : Job Hazard by Hilary Chiew

In order to protect environment and nature, life of environmental journalist or activist is in jeopardy and danger. Their life has been threatened by company, organized crime groups, government and pollutants. Death threat, libel suits, abduction, physical assault always lingered in their life. It is proven by several cases that happened to some them due to the action that exposed/revealed to the world what exactly happened and what did happened.

Challenges and difficulties in getting information, especially from the local population that is beholden to the polluters for employment also be their obstacle to exposed green crime that happened in our world.

However, not all of them are willing to sacrifice their life for the sake of environment. Some of them have been bribed to keep quiet on certain issues.

Is it what we are looking for? We close our eyes because we are chasing towards development, wealth and glory. Is nobody are concern on what exactly happened behind it, we will heading a lot more problem related to environment and nature. More disaster will be arising.

Praise and pray that their life will be protected, so they could feed us with their report, journal and news that contain a lot of information so we could open our eyes widely to see the truth.

  3. the security issue is the main point after we reported the problems. Is the authority will gives full protection to us like other VIPs? I don't think they will help because environment always at the second place.

  4. Most reporters get killed covering the wars. Can you find any similarity with reporting for the environment?
