Superlatives; Madagascar is perhaps best-known for its lemurs—of which nearly 100 different species and sub-species live on the island—and for its massive baobab trees. The island is also home to the Tuléar reef, the world's third-largest coral reef system, making Madagascar one of the top scuba diving destinations in Africa. Link cited

Crimes include armed robberies, muggings, theft, carjacking and kidnappings. Violent clashes and crimes occur in regional areas, notably in southern, western and northern Madagascar. Avoid travelling on your own and at night and get local security advice before you travel to these areas.Link

81% of people live under poverty in Madagascar. Link 76.68% literacy rate. Link 

 Madagascar's forests are threatened by slash-and-burn agriculture. This practice, long encouraged by the government and deep-rooted in local customs, aims at burning a forest plot in order to enrich it with nitrogen before planting food crops. Link

The effects & history of slash-and-burn on Malagasy people

Clearing of trees exposes the soil to more rain than it can absorb. This causes soil erosion, and often makes the land no longer able to farm. The erosion also causes run-off into the ocean, which decreases the fish populations that many people rely for food and income. It has been used in Madagascar for more than 12000 years. Link Link

Fertilization allows the same plot of land to be used over and over without the soil being exhausted, thus avoiding the drawbacks of slash and burn agriculture. Link

Superlatives- Indonesia has many gorgeous islands and beaches, rich biodiversity and cultural. It is one of the most popular places for surfing and yoga in the world. It's an easily accessible destination for most travelers. The people of Indonesia are known for being rude and hard to talk to, compared to the people in other parts of the world. Link

Slash and burn is popular in Indonesia because it is an easy way to clear large amounts of land and it readies the soil for palm trees, from which palm oil is made. Slash and burn agriculture technique is thought to have started sometime around 8,000 years ago. Link

Slash and burn agriculture also results in significant soil erosion and accompanying landslides, water contamination, and/or dust clouds, as without trees and vegetation and their root systems, soil washes away during heavy rains and blows away during droughts. Smoke from slash and burn fires in the rainforests of Indonesia can travel for hundreds of miles, affecting the young and elderly all across the region. This smoke causes significant respiratory issues that require modern medical technology to treat. Link

Fertilization allows the same plot of land to be used over and over without the soil being exhausted, thus avoiding the drawbacks of slash and burn agriculture. As an alternative to slash and burn farming, biochar creates less air pollution and can increase soil fertility further. Link
