Indonesian Rainforest

The Indonesian rainforest is a vast, diverse tropical forest covering much of Indonesia’s islands, including Sumatra, Borneo, and New Guinea. It is home to an incredible variety of plants, animals, and insects, many found nowhere else on Earth. The rainforest plays a vital role in regulating global climate, absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. It provides resources like timber, medicines, and food, but faces threats from deforestation, illegal logging, and agriculture expansion. Protecting this unique ecosystem is essential for maintaining biodiversity, climate stability, and the livelihoods of local communities.
