Biodiversity Conservation & Tourism Development
Indonesia has nearly 70 million people living in or near forest land, many of them living on
less than US$1 per day.
Illegal logging operations cause widespread destruction of forests and, although it does earn short-term gains for a few, it destroys the Livelihoods of people who depend
upon the forests.www.wri.org
• Indonesia - only 1.3% of the earth’s land surface • Disproportionately high share of earth’s biodiversity
• 11% of the world’s plant species, • 10% of world mammal species, & • 16% of world bird species.

Indonesia - serious environmental and economic concerns
• One of the largest tropical timber producers in the world
• Estimated 80 percent of timber exports being illegal
• Indonesian government fails to capture over US$100 million per year in tax revenue on illegal logging and exports.
• Cheap and plentiful supply of timber from illegal sources depresses timber prices worldwide by 2 percent to 4 percent.
• Deforestation in Indonesia accounts for 4 percent of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
• Thus deforestation in Indonesia is a major contributor to climate change.

Just two countries, Brazil and Indonesia, account for over 60% of the world’s forest loss.
