1. Deforestation Of Sundaland
A Human Impact on the Environment

2. Sundaland Environmental Hotspot

3. “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 ( km2). Also, the area of Sundaland covers a part of southern Thailand provinces of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat)”

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

7. The Consequences The Results of human’s action

8. 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

9. 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

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

11. Deforestation in Indonesia
Causes
Deforestation in Indonesia

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

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

14. 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

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

16. Negative Effects of Deforestation on Human

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

18. 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.

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. Resolution Our Resolve on the subject

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

23. 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
