Indonesia, Islam and the environment

It seems that Indonesians are working hard at worshipiing green.

Among the plan's many targets is the transformation of the 10 most sacred Islamic cities into eco-friendly sites in the next five years.

Rather, Indonesian activists have acted independently to push for the greening of Islam in a movement that could be traced back some two decades when discourses about environmental conservation first appeared in the rhetoric of the Muhammadiyah and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Indonesia's two largest Islamic grassroots organisations.

In recent years, both have set up branches focused on implementing environmental programmes. For instance, the NU is working closely with the ministry of forestry to battle the depletion of trees brought about primarily by illegal logging in Indonesia's national forests.

Other Arab countries should take notice.
