Tiger Sumatra at
risk
— Rain forest in Acheh and Sumatra has been a
difficult issue. Environment destruction has caused
landslides and foods through out Sumatra and elsewhere.
The Indonesian Red Cross reported at least 100 people
were killed and some 132 people listed as missing in
landslides and deluges that hit Nias Island off the
northwestern coast of Sumatra in August 2001. Such
environmental disasters are becoming more common as
forests are cut for commercial profit. In a broader
scope, nearly 3/4 of the archipelago forests has already
been destroyed. In Indonesia, an area of forest the size
of Belgium is disappearing every year. |
