Q & A

What are natural resources and their importance?

Natural resources are everything that originates from nature and can be utilized by humans to meet their needs. These include water, air, soil, plants, animals, and minerals. They are essential for human survival and development.

What are the two main types of natural resources?

The two main types of natural resources are renewable and non-renewable resources. Renewable resources, like water, air, soil, forests, and solar energy, can be replenished naturally. Non-renewable resources, such as oil, natural gas, coal, and minerals, are limited in quantity and take a long time to form.

What is the significance of Indonesia’s forests?

Indonesia's forests are the third-largest tropical forests globally, covering around 125.9 million hectares as of 2020. They are home to a rich biodiversity and play a vital role in absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen, contributing to the reduction of climate change impacts.

How do Indonesia's forests contribute economically?

Indonesia's forests provide various products such as timber, rattan, resin, rubber, and medicinal plants. The forestry industry contributed around 8.2 billion USD to Indonesia's economy in 2019. Additionally, the forests support ecotourism activities, such as those in Gunung Leuser National Park.

What are the main threats to Indonesia's forests?

The primary threats include deforestation caused by illegal logging, the expansion of palm oil plantations, and forest fires. From 2001 to 2020, Indonesia lost approximately 24 million hectares of forest cover.

What are Indonesia's major mining resources?

Indonesia has significant reserves of oil, natural gas, coal, gold, copper, nickel, and tin. It is one of the leading producers of these resources in Southeast Asia.

How does the mining sector impact Indonesia's economy?

The mining sector contributes significantly to Indonesia's economy, accounting for about 9% of the GDP in 2020. Indonesia is also the world's largest exporter of coal and one of the top producers of gold and nickel, which are crucial for the global energy transition.

What environmental and social challenges arise from the mining sector?

Mining activities often lead to deforestation, water, and soil pollution, and social conflicts, especially concerning the rights of local and indigenous communities.

How extensive is Indonesia's maritime area, and what are its economic potentials?

Indonesia's maritime area covers an exclusive economic zone of 6.4 million km², making it the world's largest archipelagic country. The maritime sector includes fisheries, offshore renewable energy, and tourism, contributing significantly to the country's GDP.

What are the major challenges facing Indonesia’s maritime sector?

The challenges include overfishing, which threatens the sustainability of marine resources, and security issues like illegal fishing, smuggling, and resource theft in Indonesian waters.
