Because the act of Man Natural Disasters

*Do you remember the premises disasters caused deforestation in the world that do not fit the rules. Should it be like forever.

As a result of illegal deforestation

Main Impacts of Forest Pengundulan is Avalanche, Flood and Drought. Landslides are common in Indonesia, due to deforestation for years. Environmental campaigners warned of landslides caused by excessive logging and reforestation failure.The occurrence of landslides and floods in the region Cianjur shows events related to land issues. Rain and floods have caused soil erosion by water is called erosion affecting the loss of soil fertility and soil erosion from the earth's surface. Flooding would be greater if water storage (water saving) can not hold water runoff. This can happen when the forest functional capacity to store water sebafai unable to perform its functions. Forests can regulate the river flow fluctuations due to its role in regulating runoff and infiltration. These floods will become an annual event of disaster-prone areas downstream of the upper management if not repaired immediately, either through reforestation / afforestation and soil conservation efforts.

The landslide disaster

Landslides occur because there was no element that holds soil in place, giving rise to damage. Especially for the South Cianjur is hilly and rugged. South Cianjur area is included in the category of the Landslide Prone. If If allowed to continue Deforestation, landslides and floods will come and go, is not impossible that the environment eventually turned into a barren desert, in the end nobody can dodgery drought. Droughts will occur because the supply of rainwater into the soil (water saving) and low water reserves in the dry season is reduced causing a prolonged drought and loss of springs.Environmental conservation can be done by encouraging the planting of trees or reforestation (afforestation) against the previously barren land. For the hills or mountains sloping land position needs to be built terraces or sengkedan, so as to inhibit the rate of flow of rain water. Forest conservation should be implemented and should secapatnya. Continuous forest exploitation lasted a long time ago until now without any offset by replanting, causing forests to be destroyed. Illegal logging by humans is one of the main causes of forest destruction. Though the forest is the support of the preservation of life on earth, because the forest is not just providing food and material production, but also producing oxygen, retaining soil, and keep a backup of water.Conversion of forest to agriculture due to the widespread farming of fertile land which shifts steadily reduced to marginal lands that are less fertile (forest), as well as uncontrolled logging to satisfy demand for wood for buildings materials, materials home furnishings, as well as for fuel. We can calculate how much timber volume for all the needs were, and how many from outside of Java that comes in, and how many are produced by Perhutani, it is not balanced, so the lack of it comes from the woods around our own, we should preserve and keep us together .

Effort needs to be done to preserve the forest :

1. Afforestation or reforestation of denuded.
2.  Banning deforestation in an arbitrary manner.
3.  Implement a system of selective logging in the felling of trees.
4. Applying cutting-cropping system in logging activities.
5. Severe sanctions for those who violate the provision of forest management.

Therefore, whether we will continue to remain silent. This land is the heritage of our children, from this moment we must try to keep clean and care for our earth and the pain caused by our own. Let us preserve our environment with the power we have.
