Indonesia

In Indonesia there has been a law set in place to help restore what is now called, Harapan Rain forest; Harapan translated in English is 'hope'. The plan is restore about 101,000 hectares of the Sumatra. This is being done to conserve the land but mainly the wildlife within it. The 'Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, UK' and 'Birdlife Partners' have worked towards this effort in the rain forest. They have worked towards this restoration because if this was not done, then the land would have most likely been changed into plantations and areas of commerce. The biodiversity and ecosystem would have been destroyed.
Obviously, it is very positive that there is a restoration effort taking place to maintain the rain forest in the Sumatra area. Even though it is positive, I still think that it should not have taken this long for this effort to start. People need to work on problems in the beginning so they are not so intense later on. The longer the time period, the more urgent it is to fix the problem. This action taking place in the Sumatra should motivate other areas to do the same.
