“It may seem impossible. It seems absurd. But if you think about it, it also makes sense,” he wrote
Denny
on his social media on Sunday (7/12).
“Even though I don’t really think about how to buy it, @pandawaragroup is a symbol of our concern for the environment. I’m just a regional artist who helps a little with the Pandawara dream and for Indonesia.”

According to research by Antonio Santoro, Francesco Piras, Qingyi Yu from the University of Florence and Huazhong Agricultural University published in the journal
Biodiversity and Conservation Volume 34
in 2025, Indonesia will have one of the highest rates of forest loss in the world.
Based on data from 1950 to 2017 which they examined in a study entitled
Spatial analysis of deforestation in Indonesia in the period 1950-2017 and the role of protected areas
, forest area in Indonesia continues to decline gradually.
They noted that in 1950, the national forest area reached 78.3 percent of Indonesia’s area, then decreased to 63.8 percent in 1982, and remained at 46.8 percent in 2017.
“In the period 1950-2017, 35% of the national territory (more than 66 million hectares) was affected by deforestation at an average rate of 985,200 ha/year,” wrote
them
.”The areas with the highest deforestation rates are Sumatra (356,100 ha/year) and Kalimantan (303,360 ha/year).”
“Deforestation occurs with greater intensity in the lowlands and along the coast, due to the spread of modern plantations. The only exceptions are Java and Bali because most of the deforestation occurred before 1950.”
Meanwhile, a team of researchers from Kyoto University, the Center for International Forestry Research Bogor, and Oregon State University found that Indonesia experienced a significant loss of tree cover of 82 percent from data between 2000 and 2021.
On the other hand, in research entitled
Oil palm- and rubber-driven deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia (2000-2021) and efforts toward zero deforestation commitments
During this period, the research team found that the area of oil palm plantations in Indonesia increased by 650 percent, and Indonesia’s palm oil production increased by 556 percent.
Not just palm oil, Indonesia also experienced an increase in the area of rubber plantations in the same period by 54 percent, and this was followed by the volume of natural rubber exports increasing by 69 percent.
“This study reveals that the impact of palm oil and rubber on deforestation varies by region and period,” the research team wrote in research published in the journal
Agroforestry Systems Volume 99
in 2025.
“However, plantation expansion and related forest conversion have slowed, which can be attributed to consumer demand for no deforestation of palm oil and rubber products,” he continued.
“On the other hand, these two countries may experience increasing deforestation pressures in the future, mainly driven by the widespread use of palm oil for biodiesel production.”
