Forest destruction and wildlife in Kalimantan – Karmavision

http://karmavision.tv/video/479/forest_destruction_and_wildlife_in_kalimantan_indonesia.html

Illegal logging is destroying the equatorial rain forests of Indonesian Borneo, bringing the island, once known as the lungs of Asia, to the brink of an ecological disaster. The illegal timber is turned into plywood and is exported to other parts of Asia. It is also used to build furniture for Japanese, European and U.S. markets. The island of Kalimantan’s valuable old growth, called meranti (Philippine mahogany), is used for hardwood flooring and provides wood trim for luxury automobiles.

    @greenblockhead I agree with you.The more we populate this earth the more we strip this earth of all its sources. People does not seem to get this at all.They claim we have plenty of resources.How can we,when we have to use chemicals to make everything grow fast.

    People are too stupid to realize that we are not dominating over anything. In time, nature will simply overtake us are restore herself as the true master of the Earth. We’re only a part of this great system. If we don’t learn to feed ourselves and live without consuming like parasites on the Earth, we don’t have a future here.

    You cannot stop the destructionof the forests, because people need food and shelter! Since the population growth is not possible to stop, mankind will rush into catastrophy at full speed. It is like driving with full speed in a car onto a bridge that is not been finnished yet!
    Reverse population growth and no one has an interest in chopping down trees!
    It is as simple as that. It is not the kapitalists that destroy the earth! Iit is ignorance!

    Meus irmãos e irmãs que disparam n não resolveriam uma coisa, e faz-me irritado para considerar estes ávidos começ as organizações ricas que estão sendo permitidas pelos governos destes países de explorar a floresta, nós precisamos de motivar o setor público para forçar o governo a retrocedê-los para fora e a proibir todo o desflorestamento mas naturalmente então dirão que é a única maneira que sabem para trazer para casa assim ao dinheiro do pão seu complexo.
