What the Indonesian government can do on top of what that has already been implemented would be to educate the public. Introducing conversation ideas since young can leave an impression about the importance of conservation, which can potentially curb future environmentally degrading actions. In addition, the government can also make use of the media to inform the public on the current environmental degradation to raise public awareness of the issue, in order to encourage more pro-environment behaviors.
The government can also enforce current laws that are already put in place, such as the reforestation. Large areas of Kalimantan’s forests were cleared, but with little or no systematic effort at reforestation. Although reforestation laws existed, they were rarely or only selectively enforced, leaving the bare land exposed to heavy rainfall, leaching, and erosion, worsening the situation. Hence, by adhering to the existing reforestation policy, it can potentially improve the situation of deforestation.
