Deforestation Of Sundaland A Human Impact on the Environment

Sundaland Environmental Hotspot

“The Sundaland hotspot covers the western half of the Indo-Malayan archipelago, counting of some 17,000 islands lying north and south of the equator. The hotspot has its extension over Borneo (725,000 km²) and Sumatra (427,300 km²), third and sixth largest islands in the world, and over the Malay Peninsula and the island of Java (126 700 km2). Also, the area of Sundaland covers a part of southern Thailand provinces of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat)”

Size of Sunderland Original Extent: 1,501,063 km2 Forest Remaining: 700,000 km2 Vegetation Remaining: 100,571 km2

The Consequences The Results of human’s action

Areas Affected Kalimantan's protected lowland forests declined by 56% between 1985 and 2001 Less than 33% of lowland forest and peat swamp remains around Borneo

Effects on Land Exposes the forest floor to drying making it possible for forest fires to start (Unrelated) fires are started purposely in order to convert oil palm plantation Trees not adapted to fires, therefore slow to regenerate

Effects on Biodiversity Animals and plants loses their niche Thus reduce in numbers or die out.

Deforestation in Indonesia Causes Deforestation in Indonesia

Economic Growing paper industry Growing timber industry Boosting Economy Allow logging, transport timber Allow land conversion

Politics Allows land conversion Allows logging Economic boost Gain supports from the locals Allows logging Logging industry support government Gain from export

Illegal Logging Imbalance demands and supplies Growing industries, more demands No definite reaction to prevent No policies or acts that is devoted enough Wasted lands Cleared and put to no use

Conflicts Political turmoil Banning logging Banning land conversion Huge lose in exports Banning land conversion Disregards, lose of supports

Negative Effects of Deforestation on Human

Economic Effects Deforestation for lands and pasturelands. Taxes on Lands are high. High Chances that lands from deforestation gives deficit to humans.

Global Markets Countries with rainforests make their money from experts such as nuts, lumber. If deforestation continues in same pace for 20 more years, there would be a huge famine.

Medical Issues Humans doesn’t realize there could be plants that can produce cure for illness. Through deforestation, unknown plants, which might have possible cure for illnesses die out.

War People without jobs tend to move to forests near country borders and bring the trees down for lands. As soon as people cross borders, countries engage in war.

Resolution Our Resolve on the subject

RESOLUTION Make recycling paper an official policy, less trees for paper industries World Bank enforcement, enforce saving environment, made conditions for loans

Shift industries, support more ecotourism than timber, slow process expect results in long run Reorganize the government, reduce corruption, benefit people and nature at the same time Government support biology researches
