Indonesia adalah negara kepulauan tropikal yang mempunyai keanekaragaman yang tinggi. Dari berbagai spesies flora dan fauna dapat ditemukan di Indonesia. Hutan adalah tempat dimana flora dan fauna kita tinggal dan berkembang, tetapi karena tingkat deforestasi yang tinggi, keanekaragaman flora dan fauna Indonesia terpaksa terancam. Berdasarkan penelitian, Indonesia mempunyai 130-134 juta hektar hutan, tetapi Indonesia mempunyai salah satu tingkat deforestasi tertinggi di dunia, dengan 680.000 - 1.100.000 juta hektar hilang pertahunnya. Sebanyak 2% hutan Indonesia hilang pertahunnya. Berdasarkan wwf.co.id, dari 130 juta hektar hutan Indonesia, 42 juta hektar sudah ditebang.

Pastinya ada banyak hal yang menyebabkan tingkat deforestasi di Indonesia menjadi tinggi. Penebangan liar, eksploitasi lahan hutan, merubah hutan menjadi perkebunan dan kebakaran hutan adalah salah satu alasan mengapa hutan di Indonesia semakin menyusut. Pastinya ini menyebakan banyak permasalahan. Ekosistem hutan jadi terganggu, kepunahan flora dan fauna, banyak hewan hutan yang migrasi ke desa dan lain-lain.

Oleh karena itu, petisi ini dibuat agar Kementrian Kehutanan Indonesia dapat menindaklanjuti permasalahan deforestasi di hutan Indonesia yang semakin tahun semakin membesar nilainya.

Terima Kasih

English Translations:

Indonesia is a tropical country made out of large islands with diverse choices of flora and fauna. Many different species of flora and fauna that is unique and rare can be found in Indonesia. Indonesia’s forest is where our huge variety of flora and fauna lives and develops. But due to the high rate of deforestation, Indonesia’s diverse flora and fauna are currently in endangered. Based on a research that was recently done, Indonesia has up to 130-134 million hectares of forest, but Indonesia faces one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world, with up to 680.000 - 1.100.000 million hectares lost per year. That’s up to 2% Indonesia’s forest loss per year. Based on wwf.co.id, out of 130 million hectares of Indonesia forest, 42 million has been cut down. leaving only 88 million hectares left.

There are many reasons why the deforestation rate in Indonesia is very high. illegal logging, exploitation of forest land, transform forest into the plantation and forest fires are one of the many reasons why is the amount of forest in Indonesia is decreasing. obviously, this created many problems such as forest ecosystem is disturbed, extinction of flora and fauna and forest animals end up migrating to nearest and village and create a disturbance.

Therefore, this petition is made for the Ministry of Forestry of Indonesia (Kementerian Perhutanan Indonesia) to act on deforestation of forest in Indonesia because the amount has increased every year.
