2.The Co2 emission also increased as the cut down trees were burned for fuel or heat. also there was not enough trees to turn Co2 into oxygen.  ]]> 2017-05-08 07:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/reemasidani/hhvg8yc2yzs5/wish/170439191 oykubutun https://padlet.com/reemasidani/hhvg8yc2yzs5/wish/170439627 2017-05-08 07:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/reemasidani/hhvg8yc2yzs5/wish/170439627 Geography oykubutun https://padlet.com/reemasidani/hhvg8yc2yzs5/wish/170927387 Since Indonesia is in between 2 continents it has a unique eco system and natural disasters are common. 
Indonesia has 1800 islands. . Of those, the larger islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan  Sulawesi, and Irian Jaya are quite mountainous, with some peaks reaching 12,000 ft.
The highest elevations are  over 16,000 ft are found on Irian Jaya in the east, with the highest point being Puncak Jaya at 16,502 ft
.Indonesia's former tallest peak, Mount Tambora with 8,930 ft, 2,722 m and its a active volcano last eruption was 1815.

The fish family Telmatherinidae is found solely in Indonesia and it includes the Celebes Rainbowfish.

Apart from the high level of species richness, another great value of Indonesia’s biodiversity is that many of species that occur here are endemic
It also possesses 10% of the world’s flowering species (25,000 flowering plant For fauna diversity, about 12% of the world’s mammals (515 species) occur in Indonesia, placing it second,

They cut trees for industrial use to sell timber or plant a palm oil which is very commonly used in every product and has a large demand. These forests are cut down to make money and in large the economy. This destroys the wild life biodiversity just for money and at the end it is predicted that Indonesia will sped ore money to repair the forest. ]]> 2017-05-10 07:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/reemasidani/hhvg8yc2yzs5/wish/170936869 Effects on people reemasidani https://padlet.com/reemasidani/hhvg8yc2yzs5/wish/170938496 http://www.markedbyteachers.com/as-and-a-level/geography/evaluate-the-impact-of-deforestation-in-indonesia.html
1) Illegal logging has majorly increased fires. Illegal logging was a major reason of fire disaster of 1998 and 9. As a result, 20 million people were covered in smoke for months; local citizens health became extreme concern. Citizen had to wear special masks and all schools were closed; some flights were cancelled due to poor visibility. Also, smoke also spread to Malaysia causing the air pollution scale to be over 800. Air pollution over 500 is harmful to peoples health. The smoke also spread to Kuala Lumpur, were 2700 adults and 3800 kids were treated for infections. Over 1000 for asthma related illnesses and about 500 for eye problems.

2) Logging was the reason of a flood in October of 2000.  The flood led to deaths and destroyed roads and crops. As a result, there were food shortages.]]> 2017-05-10 07:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/reemasidani/hhvg8yc2yzs5/wish/170938496 oykubutun https://padlet.com/reemasidani/hhvg8yc2yzs5/wish/170939031 The indigenous people who live in the forest have to relocate to another area of forest or out of the forest altogether. This is a complete life change. The infrastructure, the way they provide for their families and the very basic way they live their lives would be completely different. ]]> 2017-05-10 07:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/reemasidani/hhvg8yc2yzs5/wish/170939031 Design solution oykubutun https://padlet.com/reemasidani/hhvg8yc2yzs5/wish/171661129 Solution 1 

Using recycled  materials in our daily lives. Or using things that are used only once that are tree based they can be used multiple times. 

  • Recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times would save 75,000 trees. If all our newspaper was recycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees each year.

 solution 2 

Using trees that already have been Damaged, trees that are predicted to not live long or trees that fell down naturally.
Solution 3 

Changing laws to be more forest friendly. 

Solution 4 
replanting.
This is planting s many trees as possible to where they were cut. 
Brazil's deforestation rate has dropped astoundingly fast. In 2004 some 2.8m hectares (10,700 square miles) of the Amazon were razed; last year only around 750,000 hectares were. This progress is not isolated. Many of the world's biggest clearers of trees have started to hug them. Over the past decade, the UN records, nearly 8m hectares of forest a year were allowed to re-grow or were planted anew.
