“ … Here is another one. A change in what Human nature will allow for government. "Careful, Kryon, don't talk about politics. You'll get in trouble." I won't get in trouble. I'm going to tell you to watch for leadership that cares about you. "You mean politics is going to change?" It already has. It's beginning. Watch for it. You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013.

They're going to fall over, you know, because the energy of the population will not sustain an old energy leader ..."

Kryon Q&A

Question: Dear Kryon: I live in Spain. I am sorry if I will ask you a question you might have already answered, but the translations of your books are very slow and I might not have gathered all information you have already given. I am quite concerned about abandoned animals. It seems that many people buy animals for their children and as soon as they grow, they set them out somewhere. Recently I had the occasion to see a small kitten in the middle of the street. I did not immediately react, since I could have stopped and taken it, without getting out of the car. So, I went on and at the first occasion I could turn, I went back to see if I could take the kitten, but it was to late, somebody had already killed it. This happened some month ago, but I still feel very sorry for that kitten. I just would like to know, what kind of entity are these animals and how does this fit in our world. Are these entities which choose this kind of life, like we do choose our kind of Human life? I see so many abandoned animals and every time I see one, my heart aches... I would like to know more about them.

Answer: Dear one, indeed the answer has been given, but let us give it again so you all understand. Animals are here on earth for three (3) reasons.

(1) The balance of biological life. . . the circle of energy that is needed for you to exist in what you call "nature."

(2) To be harvested. Yes, it's true. Many exist for your sustenance, and this is appropriate. It is a harmony between Human and animal, and always has. Remember the buffalo that willingly came into the indigenous tribes to be sacrificed when called? These are stories that you should examine again. The inappropriateness of today's culture is how these precious creatures are treated. Did you know that if there was an honoring ceremony at their death, they would nourish you better? Did you know that there is ceremony that could benefit all of humanity in this way. Perhaps it's time you saw it.

(3) To be loved and to love. For many cultures, animals serve as surrogate children, loved and taken care of. It gives Humans a chance to show compassion when they need it, and to have unconditional love when they need it. This is extremely important to many, and provides balance and centering for many.

Do animals know all this? At a basic level, they do. Not in the way you "know," but in a cellular awareness they understand that they are here in service to planet earth. If you honor them in all three instances, then balance will be the result. Your feelings about their treatment is important. Temper your reactions with the spiritual logic of their appropriateness and their service to humanity. Honor them in all three cases.

RI succeeds in saving coral reefs, says researcher

Desy Nurhayati, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

Indonesia's efforts to preserve its marine and coastal resources has seen a decline in the number of damaged coral reefs across the country's oceans this year, a researcher said Friday.

Indonesian Institute of Science's (LIPI) oceanography researcher Suharsono said recent data had revealed a decreased percentage of damaged coral reefs -- down to 32.05 percent from 33.17 percent in 2006.

"The declining number of coral reef destruction in Indonesia shows that people's awareness to preserve our abundant ocean resources has improved, thanks to support from the government and the public," Suharsono said.

The research divided the condition of coral reefs into four categories: poor, fair, good and excellent, with the country's areas divided into three regions: west, central and east.

According to research conducted from 908 observation sites across the country's waters, the number of "excellent" and "good" coral reefs had increased to 5.51 and 25.11 percent, respectively, from 2006 figures which sat at 5.23 and 24.26 percent.

Suharsono said the worst destruction had occurred in the western region, while the central region showed the highest number of coral reefs in good condition.

Despite the decline in damaged coral reefs, Suharsono said the reefs were still faced with threats, including natural disasters, global climate change, overfishing and destructive fishing.

Indonesia has the richest coral reefs in the world in terms of quantity and diversity.

The country initiated a multilateral partnership called the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) during APEC's meeting in September in Australia.

The initiative has been lauded as a positive political move by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and a good step toward saving marine resources.

The CTI includes five Asia-Pacific countries -- the Philippines, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and East Timor -- and a joint effort to preserve marine resources in the Coral Triangle Area, a region stretching from the central part of Indonesia to the Solomon Islands, and up from the Indian Ocean across the Philippines to the Pacific Ocean.

The 5.7-million-square-kilometer area is the global center of marine biodiversity with more than 600 coral species and 3,000 fish species, many of which are endemic.

The triangle is home to 76 percent of the world's total coral species and 50 percent of the world's reef fish species.

Syamsul Maarif, director general of coasts and small islands in the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry, said coral reefs and species has significantly contributed to the livelihood of millions of people living in coastal areas.

He said efforts still needed to be improved to increase public awareness about the importance of preserving marine biological resources, while at the same time protecting resources needed for people's livelihoods.
