it was a symbol of our pride. indonesia used to be known as a country with green rainforests, the lungs of the world. now we are just the biggest CO2 contributor.
we lost our identity as zamrud khatulistiwa. 🥲
a national park in southern sumatra is suspected to be deliberately set on fire, possibly to do with investors wanting to turn the land to palm plantation
the park is one of the last few places where endagered sumatran elephants, tigers, and rhinoes still roam. this is fucked up
Wish people would understand that once primary forest is gone it’s GONE!
Planting trees is fine but secondary forest will take DECADES if not centuries to recover enough to hold the majority of diversity again. ❌🌳
Protecting forest needs to be a way bigger priority than planting trees!!
Secondary forest corridors are obviously insanely important but the planet needs to band together to keep all the primary tropical rainforest that is left intact! 🌿
Think this is the most bullshit lie that was somehow sold to us
Hunters don’t help suit most the time
Most of them are Midwestern dickheads wanting to murder for the sake of murder
The world’s most biodiverse tropical rainforest and peatlands. GOING. 😭
Most deliberately burnt for more palm oil and mining concessions. 😡
Populations of tens of thousands of species including Orangutans just disappearing forever. 🌳🦧❌
You can’t comprehend this devastation!
Ecological collapse of Borneo - Asia’s last great rainforest. Words can not even express how depressing this is.
Year after year we fail the Orangutan and tens of thousands of other species! 🦧❌🔥
