Tolak Reklamasi: still fighting the fight

The ‘Tolak Reklamasi’ movement has really amped up its protesting of Benoa Bay’s reclamation lately (just in time to coincide with freshly-inaugurated President Jokowi taking office). With a Superman is Dead endorsed public awareness cycling campaign last weekend and a parade this morning, the ForBALI-backed movement has garnerd the attention of hundreds of thousands using social media, especially Twitter to further its cause.

Throughout the day, ForBALI regularly updated its Twitter account with pics from the parade and messages of protestors’ resolve to see the movement through and get the government to dismiss Presidential Decree 51/2014 from former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, that’s responsible for changing conservation zones.
