What is wrong with some people. Irresponsible individuals have destroyed blooming Rafflesia arnoldii in the Bukit Barisan forest of Sumatra. This endangered flowering plant is native to the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo.

Deforestation not only destroys biodiversity and contributes to climate change, but its logging debris can also constrict waterways and cause floods.

A robust tiger population, apparently among the healthiest on the island, has been identified in Leuser’s remote and intact forest landscape in Sumatra, which provides refuge. We must protect this largest remaining block of Sumatran tiger habitat at all costs. 📹 Figel et al. 2025, BKSDA-Aceh, DLHK

NASA just mapped the hotspots. Indonesia’s annual forest fire season has begun. Yet deforestation and peatland drainage persist. To date, 750 hectares in Riau and 70 hectares in Jambi have burned.

You see, my thesis at Gadjah Mada University, the Forestry Faculty, focussed on reducing waste during tree harvesting. I personally cut trees with my logging crew in the forest, so I am familiar with logs that fall during logging, logging waste, and those that fall naturally. Rampant deforestation is evident everywhere, and transparency with the public is crucial.

Clouded leopards roared, orang utans got lost as they watched their wildlife corridors in Borneo being destroyed for a toll road construction to Nusantara the new capital city of Indonesia. Artificial ‘corridors’ will be built for them, as the construction [of the toll road] can’t be stopped. “But the government has pledged to protect wildlife and restore degraded ecosystems,” said a local community representative in despair.

Hundreds of Toba Pulp Lestari workers stormed the indigenous Sihaporas community in North Sumatra, resulting in several residents becoming victims of violence. Toba Pulp Lestari, a company part of the APRIL group, is currently undergoing a remediation process to achieve certification by the Forest Stewardship Council (Forest Stewardship Council), a globally recognised forest certification body.

IDNTimes reported a heartwarming story about a man in Lampung, Sumatra, who feeds hungry hornbills rice at his home. While it’s a lovely sight, it raises questions about the hornbills’ natural diet in the forest. Do wild lipid-rich fruits like Ficus spp. still thrive there?

An American influencer recently shared a video of Riau province in Sumatra on social media, claiming, “This is what deforestation looks like from above.” While his intention was good, the footage actually shows an area after the harvesting of a monoculture pulpwood plantation. I know this because I was Sustainability MD of a large pulp and paper company for almost 15 years. The barren land is not a result of natural forest clearing; it was likely deforested and converted into plantation land by the company more than six years ago. We need to stop deforestation and work towards restoring the damaged ecosystem.

Look, Papua’s keystone species has lost its home. The cassowary is considered a keystone species in the Papua rainforest, vital for maintaining the forest's biodiversity and ensuring the regeneration of many plant species. Without them, the forest ecosystem would change dramatically.

My God. Please listen to me instead: It’s important to remember that although scientists estimate the ocean produces at least 50% of the oxygen on Earth (from oceanic plankton — drifting plants, algae, and some bacteria), roughly the SAME AMOUNT IS CONSUMED BY MARINE LIFE. So unless you are a fish, don't rely too much on it. We need forests because they are crucial for air quality, regulate the climate by absorbing massive CO2, prevent erosion and landslide, support biodiversity, and provide oxygen that stays in the atmosphere longer because it's not consumed by marine decomposition, UNLIKE much of the ocean's oxygen.

Honestly. Poor bearcat. The binturong, also known as the bearcat, is a viverrid native to South and Southeast Asia. It is uncommon in much of its range, and has been assessed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because of a declining population.
