Indonesia Deforestation and Global Warming |
|---|
|
When I was a child, my teacher taught me that Indonesia is one of "World 's lungs", it provides us Oxygen to breath, giving us plant or animals Biodiversities, and it covers us to reduce and save carbon emissions. (FAO, 2010) Indonesian forests account for around 2.3% of global forest cover and represent 44% of the Southeast Asian forested area (KOH et al., 2013). According to the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry (MOF, 2011), the total designated forest area in Indonesia was about 131 million ha. In 2009/2010, approximately 98 million ha of the designated forest area was still forested (MOF, 2011). Indonesia is experiencing the world?s second highest rates of deforestation, due to pressure associated with socioeconomic and political changes (FAO, 2001, 2006 HANSEN et al., 2008, 2009 MARGONO et al., 2012). It saves lots of carbon, but when 'Deforestation' happens, it's gonna be worst! Because it's resulting so much Carbon Emissions i.e. 97% of Indonesia GHG Emissions came from Deforestation. Imagine, if on 2010, there're 2.0 GTon CO2, then 1.94 GTon CO2 came from deforestation. It tooks 4% of world GHG emissions which was not good at all.
Deforestation need to be addressed! The government need to consider environmental effect if it continues. Indonesia needs to tighten its law about the Regulation, doing reforestation instead of deforestation, and give punishment to those who's doing it wrong! Here's several photos about Indonesia Deforestation (Source: Reuters, Greenpeace Indonesia,

Guys, believe me, this one had been 'National Disasters' on 1997-1998 due to strong El-Nino! And FYI, on 2015, there are more than 600.000 people affected by these Haze. You might think it's crazy but, even the Air pollution index was being 'Very Dangerous' due to its PM 10 concentration reached almost 3000 ppm, in fact, the 300 ppm of PM10 has been 'Very Dangerous' too!
Both government, palm oil company, and local society need to corporate each other to prevent this Disasters, again! In fact, 99% of these Haze was because 'Human errors' or 'Irresponsible' company :(

Indonesia suffered greatly from wildfires and other events which increased their regional CO2 contributions. Its so sad. More tree planting activities needs to be carried out

Yes indeed deforestation is the cry of the day it must be stopped before we are unable to protect our environment again...... Giving facilities to the remote areas inhabitants near Forest can decrease the rate of deforestation..

Deforestation is a true emerging crisis indeed. Not only does to translate to climate change but also a disrupted eco-system for animals as well. Strict government initiatives must be taken at once to stop deforestation.
