Two Suspects of Illegal Logging in Mentawai Remained at Large, Satgas Still Hunting
The Special Task Force for Combating Corruption (Satgas) in the environment sector continues to pursue two suspects involved in illegal logging activities on the Mentawai Islands, an archipelago known for its rich biodiversity and fragile ecosystem.
According to sources within the Satgas team, the two suspects are believed to be hiding in plain sight, using their connections with local communities to avoid detection. The investigation revealed that they had been operating a large-scale logging operation without proper permits, causing widespread destruction of forests and disrupting the natural habitats of endemic species.
The authorities have intensified their efforts to track down the suspects, who are thought to have fled the islands in an attempt to evade capture. Meanwhile, local residents and conservation groups are calling for greater action to be taken to protect the Mentawai's delicate ecosystem, which is facing unprecedented threats from deforestation and pollution.
"This is a wake-up call for us all," said a spokesperson for the Mentawai Conservation Society. "We urge the government to take immediate action to stop this illegal logging activity and hold those responsible accountable."
The Satgas team has vowed to leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of justice, with promises to continue working tirelessly until the suspects are brought to book.
