Illegal Logging

Illegal Logging is really a problematic case in this country. There are three reasons why it is the case.

Firstly, the illegal logging has threatened the people who live in the countryside around or under the
area. The bald forest or hills make a big danger when the rainy seasons come. The great quantity of
water can create landslides since there are no enough trees to hold the water and land. We have
seen the landslide disasters which happened in many areas in Indonesia. The number of the areas
struck by landslide has increased.

The second reason is that the uncontrolled trees felling seems to go on without any significant effort of
the government to stop it. According to some news sources in Newspaper and news program on TV,
the activities of illegal cutting of the trees in some regions are actually known b the government
officers. The police and local government let them cut the threes because they are given much money
for themselves. They do not think their actions endanger the people around the forests. Therefore, it
can be said that illegal logging is illegal but known by the officers.
The third is that the illegal felling of the forest trees can destroy the natural ecosystem. When the
forest trees are continuously cut and the rein forestation is not done as the rule, the natural ecosystem
is in a terrible danger. The system which is formed by the interaction between a community of
organisms, including humans and animals, and their physical environment will be threatened. Human
beings in several villages have been killed. Wide areas of farms are destroyed by the piles of mud and
thousands of farm animals are killed and lost. Who are suffering ?

Based on the given reasons, uncontrolled illegal logging is a serious problem that needs to be solved
immediately by both the government and citizens as the owners of the forest.

1. How many arguments are presented in the written exposition above ? 

2. Whose lives are threatened by the illegal logging ? 
3. In what season do landslides usually happen ? why ? 
4. Have the local government done something to prevent illegal logging ?

7. Why must the problem of illegal logging be solved soon ? 
8. Do you know the best way to handle this problem ? 
9. What do some people do illegal logging for ? 
10. What is your personal opinion about illegal logging ?
