Abstract
Indonesia is an archipelago, stretching for about 3,000 km from Asia to Australasia, and including the large islands of Java and Sumatra, as well as much of Borneo. Tropical rain forest is the natural vegetation, but this is now being depleted by logging and conversion to croplands, largely for biofuels. The country has a diverse ethnic population of some 236 million, which has increased sixfold over the past Century. It is predominantly Muslim, but about 3% are of Chinese origin, who have traded and settled in the area for centuries.
