Indonesia's tropical forests are the last home and hideaway for the unique biodiversity of the world. The biodiversity contained in Indonesia's forests comprises 12 percent of the world's mammal species, 7.3 percent of reptile and amphibian species, and 17 percent of bird species from around the world. It is believed there are many more species that have not been identified and remains a hidden mystery in it. A real example, for example, WWF data shows between 1994-2007 alone found more than 400 new species in the world of science in the forests of the island of Borneo.
This condition places Indonesia as one of the highest biodiversity countries in the world. Based on FAO data in 2010 the world's forests - including Indonesia's forests - totally store 289 gigatons of carbon and play an important role in safeguarding the stability of the world's climate.
Unfortunately, forest destruction in the country is quite apprehensive. Based on the Ministry of Forestry records, at least 1.1 million hectares or 2% of Indonesia's forests are shrinking every year. Data from the Ministry of Forestry say that of the remaining 130 million hectares of forest in Indonesia, 42 million hectares have been cleared.
The greatest damage or threats to natural forests in Indonesia are illegal logging, forest conversion into plantations, forest fires and unsustainable forest exploitation both for residential, industrial, and encroachment development. The increasingly severe forest destruction caused disruption of the forest ecosystem and surrounding environment. An obvious example of the more frequent occurrence is the spatial conflict between wildlife and humans. The destruction of wildlife habitat forests causes them to compete with humans for food and living spaces, often ending up losses for both sides. The destruction of the forest has been a threat to all living things.
maybe this is all I can say.thanks!
