Indonesian government to investigate origin of washed-up logs

Throughout the catastrophic flooding that rocked Sumatra over the weekend, residents noted a common phenomenon – huge piles of logs that crowded on shorelines, rumbled through floodwaters, and piled up where homes once stood.

From 2001 to 2024, #Indonesia lost 320,000sq km (123,553sq miles) of tree cover, according to watchdog Global Forest Watch, equivalent to about 20 percent of its total tree cover area in 2000.
