ENVIRONMENTAL
Clearing of forested areas to build mobile network towers: The development of mobile network towers poses serious threats to human, wildlife, and the entire ecosystem. Since mobile network towers releases harmful radiations it may adversely impact humans as well as wildlife such as birds and bees. In order to prevent these issues, telecom companies are clearing forest areas to build mobile network towers which are leading to deforestation. Governments should take legal actions and introduce regulations and norms for the development of towers without having to affect the ecosystem. Telecom companies such as Indosat should also take sustainable steps such as building the towers in close proximity i.e., within the radius of one kilometers of the existing tower.
