Illegal Logging Continues in Acehin this information it said that according to the report from Greeneconomics Indonesia (GI),
200,000 hectares of forested areas>According to a report from Greenomics Indonesia (GI),
Aceh has in recent years lost more than 200,000 hectares of forested areas, felled on a massive scale to meet the demand
for timber for reconstruction programs following the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the province on December 26, 2004.<
the reconstruction in Aceh found that illegal logging makes the cover of the forest worst. the Greeneconomics Indonesia said that this is the fastest rate of deforestation in the world.
the forest is most damaged in the area that is affected by the tsunami, and especially in the West Coast of Aceh.
the worst damage is in Simeulue Island, in south Aceh _44,000 hectares of forest had been converted into oil palm plantations._
if Aceh failed to stop the illegal logging. in 3-4 years it would suffer a big ecological damage that could threat their lives of everyone in the province.
they have to stop the illegal logging fast, so that their environment will be better.
