My research topic is how illegal timbering, the world needs for logs and Indonesia’s government has destroy half of they country forests, putting the country wildlife and some tribes out of their homes.

1) I picked this topic because Indonesia forest has been declining at an increase rate which threatens communities and the environmental implications will be devastation.

2) Illegal activities by the government and others have destroyed most of Indonesia forest. Causing landslide, floods and even fires yes some people start fires leaving parts of the country in thick smog.

I think your topic it's really interesting. I get very sad whenever I see things like that happening! This is the place in live in and I think we should appreciate it a little bit more, and regulations should be passed in order to regulate this BIG issue! =(.... I think you need to find an specific community...have you think about it yet? ...
