The word obedience comes first in my mind after attending the Forest Camp 2019 at Simpan Ayer Hitam Forest Puchong Selangor Malaysia. Held from 30 June until 13 July 2019 that is well organized by University Putra Malaysia department of forestry. This annually events have been held since 1980’s by the University Putra Malaysia. This 2019 events is particapated by 156 students from 6 universities that consist of University Putra Malaysia as the home organizer, Brawijaya University, Hasannudin University, Bogor Institute of Agriculture, Mataram University, and North Sumatera University as a guest participants of this year event. The students which join the events achieve some new dimension of experience such as introduction to the forest, survival skill, team work building and most of all how they can love and maintain the forrest towards combating the climate change issue.
Obedience is “behavior that is respectful and mindful of rules and laws. Speaking of the future of human nature is we all have to be obedience to rules and laws especially conducting environments and forest rules and laws. The conciusness of taking care the forest and its conservation is experiencing by living in the forest itself so the student can feel an unforgettable lesson about forest. However this young forester should envy the importance of forest conservation to their social network so this obedience of taking care forest can be realized especially by young generations all over the world.
The earth is getting older and climate change all over the world might be is our warning as a human living to wake up and attempt taking care of our nature because no individuals can save the sustainability of the nature, we all must do.
