Indonesian rainforest is home to around 10-15% of all species of plants and animals on earth.
Indonesian rainforest has more than 30,000 plant species, including more than 3,000 types of orchids.
Indonesian rainforest is also a residence for rare species such as orangutans, Sumatran tigers, and Javan rhinos.
Loss of Indonesian rain forests can affect the global climate because the rain forests absorb carbon from the atmosphere.
Indonesian rainforest provides a source of livelihood for more than 30 million people.
Indonesian rainforest is also a place for indigenous peoples who have local knowledge and wisdom in maintaining the sustainability of ecosystems.
Deforestation in Indonesia increased in the 2000s, but since then the government and the community have become increasingly aware of the importance of protecting rain forests.
There are several organizations and programs that work to preserve rain forests in Indonesia, such as the Rainforest Action Network and REDD+ Indonesia.
The loss of Indonesian rainforest can also affect the availability of water and cause floods and landslides.
Preserving Indonesia's rainforest is a shared responsibility to maintain biodiversity and the survival of humans and planetary.
