Last week in Indonesia, the impact of deforestation was starkly illustrated as many logs transformed into forces of destruction following a cyclone.
This event highlighted the compound effects of environmental degradation, underscoring the vulnerabilities of ecosystems in the face of severe weather conditions.
As the cyclone struck, the lack of trees meant that the landscape was more susceptible to damage, illustrating the critical relationship between forest health and disaster resilience.
The incident raises concerns about ongoing deforestation practices, which may exacerbate the effects of natural disasters in the region.
