Indonesia’s Rain Forests By Teresa Potter OKAGE Teacher Consultant

These Are Indonesia’s Rainforests Mongabay.com

Indonesia Has the Third Largest Area of Rain Forest Only Brazil and the Democratic Republic have more.

Borneo Borneo is the largest island in Indonesia and the third largest in the world. Indonesia shares Borneo with two other countries: Malaysia and Brunei. However, Indonesia controls most of the island (73%) and calls this part Kalimantan. kids.mongabay.com/

Rainforests Have Disappeared Borneo’s rain forests have disappeared rapidly since 1980. About half have been destroyed. http://kids.mongabay.com/

Deforestation A hectare (symbol ha) is a unit of area equal to 10,000 square metres, or one square hectometre, and commonly used for measuring land area. A 100 m square is one ha  http://kids.mongabay.com/

Forests in Sumatra and Kalimantan About 40% of lowland forests in Sumatran and Kalimantan were chopped down between 1990 and 2005. newswatch.nationalgeographic.com

Reasons for Deforestation in India  logging, agriculture and plantations, mining, fire, and urbanization. theguardian.com

Logging Logging has been a major cause of deforestation because of it’s valuable timber. Much of the logging is illegal so little care is taken to the environment.

Roads Contribute to Deforestation Roads contribute further to deforestation. Roads provide access to forest areas for miners, plantation developers and farmers.

Rubber and Eucalyptus Trees flickr.com Rainforests have also been cut down for rubber trees to make tires and acacia and eucalyptus trees to make paper. Paper production has become a huge cause of deforestation in Sumatra. flickr.com

Plantations In recent years, plantations have become a big cause of deforestation in Indonesia foodnavigator-asia.com

Oil Palm Plantations Large areas of rainforest have been cut down and replaced with oil palm, a type of tree that produces a fruit used to make palm oil. Palm oil goes into many processed foods, especially snack foods like cookies, candy and crackers. Palm oil is also used in soap and makeup. http://kids.mongabay.com/

Forest Fires Forest fires are a big concern in Indonesia. During especially dry years, like el Niño events, fires set by loggers and plantation developers can burn out of control for months, destroying vast areas of forest and peatlands. ens-newswire.com

Orangutans Although many other species live there too, Borneo is famous for Orangutans. It is endangered due to deforestation, the pet trade, and hunting. flickr.com pinterest.com
