Indonesian Definition

English Definition

A large area covered with trees and undergrowth. Indonesia's tropical forests are the world's second largest after the Amazon and contain extraordinary biodiversity. Deforestation for palm oil, logging, and mining has reduced forest cover significantly, making Indonesia one of the world's largest carbon emitters. Forest conservation is a major environmental challenge.

Example

Hutan hujan tropis Indonesia adalah paru-paru dunia yang harus dijaga dari ancaman deforestasi dan perambahan liar.

In English: Indonesia's tropical rainforests are the lungs of the world that must be protected from deforestation and illegal encroachment.
