OUR FORESTS
Indonesia has some of the richest forestsin the world. The total of forested land is approximately 120 million hectares.These forests have existed for millions of years and they have much to offer us. They are important for their products, such as timber, rattan (= rotan). resin (= damer) etc. They are also important for keeping the soil fertile. The leaves of the forest trees fall to the ground and become humus.The humus is fertilizer for the soil. The forests are also important for preventing soil erosion and floods. The roots of the trees prevent the soil from being wahed away by the rain.Some years ago the forests in Indonesia looked from the air like an unbroken carpet of green. Today there are a lot of bare patches (= bidang-bidang tanah) where trees have been cut down and cleared. The trees have been cut down for timber.Forests are cleared for farms, mines and settlements-In some areas the destruction is continuing at a very rapid rate. If we do not stop this, our forests will be gone by the end of this century.Our goverment realizes this and has taken some to prevent the destruction.
