Forest Rescue Network Riau (Jikalahari) natural resource damages claims over forest narrowing Riau calculated more than Rp1.500 trillion.




"From our research it is estimated losses of Rp 1,500 trillion more, where the cultivation of forest land continually result in the destruction of the environment to the extinction of biodiversity," said Coordinator Jikalahari, Muslim Rashid, in Pekanbaru, on Wednesday.

He said encroachment in Riau occurred long ago and calculations along the years 2009-2012 shows that forests in the more narrow.

According to data Jikalahari, over a period of several years was 500 thousand hectares of forest area has been beralihfungsi.

"These conditions will be very dangerous. If the forest continues to erode, the natural loss will be even greater," he said.

Meanwhile, environmental experts of Environment Rona Riau University, Ariful Tengku Amri, separately said, one of the most feared if the forest continues explored by interested parties is the loss of biodiversity of flora and fauna.

Biodiversity matter how, as Amri, will not be replaced by any amount of money even in any way.

The remaining natural forests in Riau that continues to be worked up to now, according to the local Forest Service summary of research and a number of environmentally-conscious, just less than one million hectares.

Damage or loss of biological diversity by experts will have a very negative impact on people's lives, especially against the economy and food security threat to the country.

Factor, so Amri, ie there will be a variety of pests in large-scale agriculture and leads avery estates residents.

It thus caused more break-rooted food chain so that the system becomes messy ecosystems and animal pests will quickly turn to run sectors of the food chain.

"If the pest attack or crop yield, it is not possible, food security which has been the desire of the government program is not only achieved, but also will become extinct and the dependence on imported agricultural products would be intensified," he said.

Or maybe, if TAMANAN industrial or agricultural land still damaged can be repaired with a pattern or a certain finesse.

"But if the forest is destroyed, it is not likely to be done jangga improvements in a short time," he said.
