Indonesian forest condition

Today's article I want to discuss about "The Condition of Indonesia's Forests" Keep reading so you can find out interesting facts that happen in Indonesian forests.

Indonesia is a country with a tropical climate consisting of thousands of islands. Although Indonesia's land area is not as wide as the sea, Indonesia's forests are very numerous, from the tip of Aceh, namely Sabang to Merauke (Papua). In recent years, fires in Indonesia often occur, this is due to two factors, namely natural and man-made factors.

Regarding natural factors, there is no one to blame, but regarding artificial factors, namely humans, that is something that needs to be evaluated. Now humans have lost their consciousness so they do things that harm many parties, including harming the environment, for example forests. Forests are the habitat of thousands of species of living things that depend on each other.

Therefore, the action of humans burning forests to fulfill their own inner purpose needs to be judged. Their reasons for burning forests vary, ranging from wanting to open new planting areas to the erection of high-rise buildings. However, the unfortunate thing is how they do not think about the various flora and fauna that live in the forest.

The flora and fauna in the forest will run away and will even be burned to death by the fire that blazes because of human activity. They will lose their natural habitat and the result of this is the flight of the animals to residential areas. They feel that they no longer have a house that they can live in, so the last resort is to run to the local residents' settlements.

It's no wonder that lately cases of finding wild animals such as tigers and lions in residential areas are often reported. As the saying goes that what we do will return to ourselves, so do something good. While the natural factors of forest fires are the dry season and the presence of lightning strikes when it rains.

Humans can't predict the seasons, so when the dry season arrives with a very long period of time, that's normal. However, it affects the state of the forest because the forest that is exposed to the hot sun every day can cause sparks. This is also similar when there is lightning and then the lightning strikes a part until a spark arises.
