International Cartoon Exhibition “Environment” - Bali
Invitation to participate in the International Cartoon Exhibition – “Environment” Sanur, Bali 2008
From the Indonesian Cartoonists Association
Many efforts have already been made to explain what Global Warming is all about, with the hope that we can still make the necessary changes in this world. Unfortunately some people still assume that Global Warming is just a fairy tale. In fact, up to date there are only few people who understand Global Warming, even though all the information is widely available. We believe that a miracle can happen, if we work together to save our planet. More and more people must be made to understand the problem.
The Indonesian Cartoonists Association will conduct a cartoon exhibition in August 6th-10th, 2008, about the environment. This exhibition will attempt to show the public the problems we are facing, such as the depletion of our green forests which are the lungs of the world. In Indonesia for instance wide stretches of such land are burnt and cut on a regular basis to create living space for the growing human population. Other countries face similar problems, so this exhibition will involve not only Indonesian cartoonists, but cartoonists worldwide.
The Indonesian Cartoonists Association would like to extend the invitation to cartoonists around the globe to participate and support this exhibition.

The world needs free public health care and education. Millions of people don’t know what is primary education and health services. 80 million children can’t go to school. 1,400 women die needlessly in childbirth every day. G8 (USD, Canada, UK, Italy, France, Germany, Russia and Japan countries made an agreement over 35 years ago to devote 0.7% of GNI in aid to alleviate poverty in the world’s poorest countries.
These commitments intend to support the poor and developing countries on the public accountability, justice governance, protecting the human rights. As well as increase the quality and quantity of aid, relief of debt and encourage the local governments to develop own independent national economic policy. This will be resulted in improving living conditions of population in the poorest countries and save millions of lives, put every child into school, employ millions of teachers and health workers, and ensure that everyone with HIV/AIDS has access to the treatment.
These promises will be kept and exceeded if the G8, and other rich nations fulfil their obligation to the poor of the world. Promises given by the G8 and rich countries should be kept!!!
