31st August 2009 "MOUNTAIN PATROL"

From the movie with title "mountain patrol" here i learn something about appreciation on enviroment. The messages from the story is based on true story which happened in china. Obviously, from the story it tells about the changes of life in that part of area from grassland into desert,strong culture believes and most importantly about legal way of getting money.

We are so lucky to live in Brunei,small country with small amount of populations,good economy and strict goverment policy. From small country and small amount of population,the goverment can encourge to improved the quality of life of the population.The goverment strongly protect the forest and instinct animals.Different from the movie,peoples lives in poverty and struggled to improves their life. by hunting animals for living,selling animal pelts and cutting down the trees for making money. The money is used to buy shelters,food,petrol etc. by all this,huge changes on the enviroment clearly seen. KEKEXILI is reserved area where all the rare animals are found.The place where actually grassland but have become desert due to deforestation and legal porchering. They are not just lost the beauty of the nature but also the economy problems. Here we should understand that the enviroment is important to us,from beauty to economy. Like in Brunei, the thick forest and the animals are the one of the source of economy. We should protect what we have not to destroy but to protect it for good income.

From the movie itself shows the strong culture of people living there. At the beginning of the movie shows people feeding birds with human corpse. Every villagers corpses are not buried but being chopped and feed to birds. what i understand about this,is because there is no suitable land to buried the corpses which is desert area. Also, from my point of view they might believes that by feeding the corpse to birds might help the birds to survives and how they appriciate the nature.

Overall, From poverty and less attention from the goverment causes legal porchering and deforestation. They sells the woods and pelts to get money. They killed big amount of antelopes and other animals for pelts for sell to other country overseas. This activities happened for years which the effects was clearly seen. The tibetan also trying to protect the animal and stop the porchering activites even they have to died in the missions. Even some of them actually have a good work but for they culture and they love to nature they join the patrol to stop the prochering activities. Here shows how strong their cultural believes.

In conclusion, from the story of "mountain patrol" the goverment should also give more attention to rural area not just to urban area. Support the rural area peoples to improve their life equally. Stop all the legal activites that happened in rural area. We should take note and learn from it. Save and appriciate our forest and animals for the next young generation by not destroying them. The parent should teach their children how to appriciate the nature since they early age. by then, generation to generation we still have something to be proud of.
