Save the Forest Ecosystem In Indonesia

Save the Forest Ecosystem In Indonesia - Forest ecosystems are ecological systems are interlinked between the environment and living things that occupy forest. Being order intact inseparable unity of elements of life, organisms and an-organism. Organisms evolve in and intertwined in a system with the physical environment for the purposes of life. Animal and plant species in an ecosystem are determined by the influence of natural resources and the physical-chemical factors in accordance with the needs of the species.

Forest area overgrown by thick trees and plants. Being a form of life spread over the world, both in the tropics, cold climates, in the mountains, in the lowlands, the smallest island, or in a continent. It has a function to accommodate carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide sinks, animal habitats and home to plants, preservation of natural lands, hydrologica flow modulator, and the most important function for the survival of the biosphere on earth.

Damage to Forests

This archipelago is the most extensive rainforest in Asia. There are 17,000 islands that form the archipelago between Australian and Indomalayan. Being home for the spread of species diversity, at least 3305 species of animals. Now only 31.1% were known to still exist in Indonesia and less than 10% threatened with extinction. Approximately 29,375 plant species live in Indonesia's natural, and only less than 60%, we can still meet it.

Damage to forests and the environment due to human factors as the main cause. Dialectics dilemma between the need for ecological interests with the interests of the people's economy. Fulfillment of economic dominance be winners and causing forest destruction with consequences that accompany it.

As catastrophic flash floods, forest fires, soil erosion, extinction of animals and plants, drying of springs and rivers, reduced forest products, global warming. All this negative impact on human life. Half of the forest has been lost with a significant reduction and fatal damage to Indonesia's forest ecosystems. In 1960, Indonesia has 82% of the rainforest. 1982, decreased to 68%. In 1995, only has 53% of the rainforest.

Now only 49% only. Years 1990-2005, some 28 million hectares of forest disappear. 21.7% of virgin forest and disappeared replaced damaged land. Indonesia has the second rank in the category of achievement of primary forest decline, after Brazil. Currently, Indonesia's forests, including the world's most endangered forests.

Threats Forest

Forest degradation continued to function with very drastic. The threat of Indonesia's forests will be damaged ecosystems and biological wealth of the forest, among them :

1. Illegal logging, also known as encroachment, illegal logging and deforestation.
2. Forest fires are deliberately made to open a new land, usually occurs before the rains arrive.
3. Mining in forest areas, which made the destruction of forests with high levels of waste pollution, particularly of mining waste in streams and springs.
4. Opening of plantation agriculture on a large scale.
5. Colonization
6. Another substantial activity, eg timber for fuel and farm folk.

Map of Rescue
There are three strategic steps in an effort to save Indonesian forest ecosystems, namely :

1. Restoration of natural forests that have been damaged. Ie taking into account the priorities of the establishment of protected areas, the implementation of sustainable forest management is good and wise, and optimize the active participation of the community to collaborate with government conservation programs.
2. Protection of forests and sensitive ecosystems to increase the carrying capacity of ecosystems. Ie by increasing expansion of forest conservation and protected areas, as well as strict supervision issuance of permits in prevention of natural forest clearing and maintaining forested area. Providing public access to the forest areas for conservation-based economic activities.
3. Model development incentives and disincentives, by encouraging local governments to implement conservation activities that prioritizes improving the welfare of the people and the local economy.

Various measures undertaken in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 4 of 2005 on combating illegal logging in forest areas throughout Indonesia. Due to encroachment has become one of the crime that is difficult to be resolved. Especially, there is always a rogue government backing this action.

The future of Indonesian forests are bleak. Tremendous potential of eco-tourism owned by Indonesia, such as virgin forests, wildlife, cultural attractions, the beauty of the ocean and its ecosystems, coral reefs, cliffs, streams and waterfalls, as well as cultural attractions. All this had a serious threat.

Let's save Indonesia's forests for the future generations of the nation !
 
Forests Nothing Nothing Life

Forest is something too essential for human life. But something strange happened on the things that are important to humans. Forests are an important part of man turns himself destroyed by humans. If we likened in front of us there was only one thing we can drink the beverages that we drink fallen to head to escape the heat. And with these drinks we can eliminate hunger that hit the body.

That human actions on forests that actually has an important role that is able to preserve the human race and other creatures on this earth. Every life on this earth has similarly mutually beneficial. Plants grow a later flowering and fruiting. Fruit that is then eaten by animals. Fruits are edible seeds that brought then removed by animals in all directions. Seeds that then grow back into a plant that thrives. That's the life cycle of mutual benefit.

We ourselves know that a lot of life in the forest even millions of lives that many sustain mutually from each other. We as humans despite living far away from the forest but we still have a dependency on the forest can not be removed just like that. It seems highly improbable if humans could live without forests on earth. Can not imagine how happen if the earth that we love no longer having a jungle grew thick and beautiful out there.

Various forms of life on earth would soon become extinct because there is no longer the source of life that can be hung. Plants are the most important source of life for all living beings, not just humans but all living beings need plants to survive. In the life cycle of plants is known that a single manufacturer capable of supplying a variety of needs other living creatures. Various products of the plant's most important is the air in the form of oxygen that is needed by humans and other living things.

Not only are capable of air produced by plants but is also able to provide clean water by plants cultivated. In the forest, the water absorption and the collection can be obtained with ease. Groceries are we as human beings are also mostly derived from plants. If someone said of the animal, it is necessary to find the truth before the creature ate plants. Without plants the animals would starve to death. So back again at the beginning that everything in this world requires plants.

How can we live if something we hang on our every day survival continues to get crushed by the wild clearly. Forests are the most precious treasure possessed by every living human being and not just alone but with our wishes clear-cutting forests. In fact we can use good forest without destroying it. We do require a variety of wood obtained from the forest as we live. Various household items are also many who use wood as the main ingredient.

However that does not mean we can cut down the offhand or clear-cut forests for prosperity in our generation alone. There are many children and grandchildren who want to see the beautiful forests in Indonesia. They, our children still want to be able to breathe clean air free from pollution.

We must can be build the Forest Ecosystem from now. Therefore, let us keep this forest that is now beginning to bald so that our grandchildren will still need to enjoy.
