Forest fires have become a seasonal phenomenon in Indonesia. At the root of the problem is the practice of forest clearance known as slash and burn , where land is set on fire as a cheaper way to
Allowing post facto clearances could be detrimental to the environment The order of the Supreme Court of India, on April 1, 2020, is significant as it upholds the principles of environmental law which conflict with the direction that the Indian government’s Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) seeks to take.
First published on Thu 21 Oct 2021 00.34 EDT. Almost one-fifth of the land used for Indonesian oil palm plantations is located in the country’s forest estate, despite a law banning such activity
The environmental clearance process is required for 39 types of projects and covers aspects like screening, scoping and evaluation of the upcoming project. The main purpose is to assess impact of the planned project on the environment and people and to try to abate/minimise the same.
The analysis used satellite imagery, forest cover maps from Indonesia’s Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and Global Forest Watch maps of tree cover loss. The analysis shows that from 2016 to 2020, the group cleared 26,000 hectares (64,200 acres) of forests, making it the top deforester among all company groups with industrial tree

Indonesia. Indonesia is a vast, beautiful country — at a critically important crossroads. Indonesia’s 17,000 islands are home to nearly 250 million people. From these islands’ forests, farms and surrounding oceans, people receive food, a stable climate — even joy. But Indonesia is developing very, very quickly.
Rare and valuable plants that naturally “mine” large quantities of nickel are thought to be hiding in Indonesia’s forests – but it is a race to discover them before they are wiped out.
Based Thermal Power Plant is under development phase by APPL. The proposed site is located at approximately 150 km from Nagpur and 30 Kms from Chhindwara. APPL has been granted Environmental Clearances & Consent to Establish from Ministry of Environment & Forest & Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board. APPL
Restoring forests may be one of our most powerful weapons in fighting climate change Adding 2.2 billion acres of tree cover would capture two-thirds of man-made carbon emissions, a new study found.
Published Sep 3, 2014. Downloads. In the 1990s, deforestation was consuming 16 million hectares a year—an area about the size of the state of Georgia—and was responsible for about 17 percent of the global warming pollution that threatens the world with dangerous climate change. But today the pace of deforestation is down.
Since the 1970s, the greatest rates of forest clearance have been in southeastern Queensland and northern New South Wales, although Victoria is the most cleared state. Today, degradation is occurring in the largely forested tropical north due to rapidly expanding invasive weed species and altered fire regimes.

Indonesia is the world''s biggest producer of palm oil and the demand for the commodity has been rising. This means there is need for extra land for palm oil plantations. Image source, Getty Images
Plant Diversity. Indonesia’s forests have a diversity of plants equaled only in Amazonia. Over 25,000 species of flowering plants have been described within the country, with 2000 species of orchids growing on Borneo alone. About 40 percent of these plants exist nowhere else on earth.
With available land now dwindling in parts of Indonesia and Malaysia, palm oil companies are expanding into new areas, including New Guinea, more remote parts of Borneo and Sumatra, West Africa, and even parts of the Amazon.

Emissions from oil palm cultivation in Indonesia accounted for ca. 2–9% of all tropical land use emissions from 2000 to 2010 (Carlson et al. 2018) and deforestation accounted for about 30% of global warming-related pollution emissions in 2009, with Indonesia as the world’s seventh-largest producer of such emissions.

However, just after the eviction of the occupation started, the federal Green party, faced with so much pressure by disappointed activists but also their own disillusioned party members, called for the halting of further highway
This is because forests carry about 90% of all the earth’s species, both plants and animals, thereby making up a diversity of plant and animal life forms in the various forest habitats. Forests also support biodiversity by offering enabling environments where different plants and animals can easily thrive.
Between 2001 to 2017, Indonesia lost 24 million hectares of forest cover, an area almost the size of the United Kingdom. Indonesia has about 14 million hectares of land planted with oil palm.
