Kuala Cenaku, October 30, 2007. Yoyo and Kris' engineer in the field. Adult body and eyes as a child, Kris seems an actor, but his job and 'another. Kris builds dams, organize patrols against illegally Talgo, worked on a voluntary fire-fighting brigade of his region, in Kalimantan. Kris
nuoa as an otter between stakes driven into the canal. He holds the meter in one hand, cigarette in the other, and never wets neither. Measure, 'the indications scuadra work, adjust the distance between the boards, make sure everything works as it should. It works together with others, has no trouble getting your hands dirty, he 'tired,' cause Kris and 'engineer in the field. His university 'has been the forest, its faculty' illegal logging.
How many trees will have 'fallen? No one can 'say, certainly thousands. And without a regret. After high school there was no way frequantare the university ', and you Kris and' look for a job. The work available was the woodcutter. About two thousand inhabitants in its Community ', three hundred were loggers. Ris e E 'become lumberjacks. He worked with his team, two hours work, and a tree went down, two hours, and another tree. And so 'for weeks, and then for another week to take away the logs. Twenty euros (300,000 rupees) for a trunk that Rummy was sold in Europe for thousands of Euro, but mostly ended up in the pockets of intermediaries, the barons of Rummy, who ran the channels and rented chainsaws.
