Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri handed over a special letter to the Regent of Central Tapanuli, Masinton Pasaribu, in closing the PDIP regional head briefing activity.
The letter contains the spotlight on the status of the 'yellow card' given by UNESCO to the Kaldera Toba Geopark area.
Masinton said Megawati emphasized the importance of regional governance in accordance with international standards set by the world body.
"Mrs. Megawati's message, so that PDIP and regional heads of PDIP in North Sumatra fight for and voice the sustainability of Kaldera Toba's Geopark governance according to international standards set by UNESCO," Masinton said when met at the PDIP DPP Party School, Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta, Sunday, May 18.
UNESCO is known to have given a serious warning (yellow card) to the management of the Kaldera Toba Geopark area. The international institution reminded that regional development should be carried out in a sustainable manner, taking into account the diversity of ecology, biodiversity, and culture.
The warning is an important evaluation that if not responded to by improvement, risks getting Kaldera Toba removed from the UNESCO Global Geoparks (UGG) list.
Masinton stated that he would immediately communicate the contents of Megawati's letter to all levels of regional heads, including the provincial and central governments.
"We hope to jointly establish protection and sustainability standards for the Kaldera Toba Geopark area," he said.
Komitmen juga disampaikan langsung oleh Bupati Humbang Hasundutan, Oloan Nababan, yang wilayahnya termasuk dalam kawasan Kaldera Toba. Ia menyatakan siap melanjutkan arahan Ketum PDIP.
