The document discusses environmental regulation and the role of industry in Indonesia. It notes that over 252,172 hectares of natural forest in Riau, Indonesia have been destroyed by industrial activity from 2012-2013, leaving only 1.7 million hectares remaining. While industry growth is driven by free market capitalism and consumer demand, certain industries threaten environmental sustainability. The document argues that morals and ethics around protecting the environment should limit industry and the free market. It proposes a regulatory framework where the government acts to protect the environment and regulate industry for compliance, involving local communities and environmental organizations in oversight.
