Every day the sound of chainsaws in the woods. They are illegal loggers ruthlessly cut down the forest. Every year in Indonesian forests have shrunk 1.1 million hectares. It was a fantastic figure. Most illegal logging occurs in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua. Specifically on the island of Sumatra, illegal logging is because the entrepreneur wants to open oil palm plantations and illegal loggers are paid with the spoils in the form of forest products.
Timber forest products will soon be smuggled to neighboring Malaysia. Central and local government knows it, but because of the money generated from illegal logging, they get a share of the stolen money to be "backing" illegal loggers. There have been many legal cases that led the perpetrators of this environment but in the process actors only got a light sentence case even stopped or even suspects free.
As a result of illegal logging continues to occur and residents around the forest was felt to get a job from illegal logging.
Usually the entrepreneurs who opened the forest to oil palm plantations do not want to spend much money for the final settlement. He paid the residents around the forest to burn the forest. Every year Indonesia also exported to neighboring smoke. Malaysia and Singapore received the direct impact of the smoke.
The direct impact of illegal logging is felt on the ecosystem. The shrinking homes for animals Sumatran tigers, orang utan and elephants they can not evolve will eventually become extinct. And the rainy season makes the river is unable to accommodate the flow of water coming from the forest caused flash floods in the villages near the forest.
The question is whether forest destruction in Indonesia causes extreme weather is happening in the world?
