Rainforests are critical to planetary health, performing unique functions in global weather patterns and carbon storage, making a significant contribution to combating global warming. Rainforests cover around 3% of the planet’s surface and Indonesia is home to the largest remaining expanse of rainforest in the whole of Asia.
The archipelagic state of Indonesia consists of more than 18,000 islands and is the largest country in South-east Asia. It is estimated that around half its primary forest has been lost and 25% of this in the last 25 years .
