High hydrogeological risk in Kalimantan in Indonesia Since about ninety percent of the thirteen thousand hectares of natural forests in Kalimantan have been cut down to supply the timber industry, mainly to produce pulpwood, there are fears that an ecological crisis could hit the island in the coming years and as recently happened with the cyclone "Senyar" deforestation greatly increased the hydrogeological instability of the area, then there are also complaints from environmentalists about the use of elephants, which are a protected species, almost as if they were types of bulldozers to move heavy debris brought by floods across large areas of Aceh.

It is generally estimated that oil production will reach one hundred thirteen million barrels by 2050 which is thirteen percent more than in 2024. Recently there was much debate during the COP30 climate conference in Brazil about the authorization to exploit deposits about five hundred kilometers off the coast from the mouth of the Amazon River for a large field that could make the country a major oil exporter. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 13, 2025 n: 6104 Various and natural * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
