Indonesia is experiencing one of the highest rates of tropical forest loss in the world. Deforestation in Indonesia is largely the result of a corrupt political and economic system that regarded natural resources, especially forests, as a source of revenue to be exploited for political ends and personal gain. More than 20 million hectares of forest have been cleared since 1985, but the majority of this land has not been put to productive alternative uses. The Indonesian Government is facing mounting pressure domestically and internationally to take action, but progress is slow and not all policy reforms in process are necessarily good news for forests.
Although our government has established a legal action to protect natural rainforest in Kalimantan Island and others, deforestation still going on, even worst. You will see in this video about how the logging (legal and illegal) causes deforestation and degradation of the peat forest in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Deforestation will generate global warming. But, our government still do nothing to stop deforestation! Do they know and realize about the impact of deforestation? I think there's must be an organizational restructuring in Indonesia State's Ministry of Environment.
