 * Some natural resources from Sumatra and Kalimantan are: coal, coffee, palm oil, paper, oil, gold and gemstones.
 * Some of these resources are found underground forests, requiring de-forestation to get to. These areas are often re-planted with palm oil trees.
 * These products provide jobs for people of those regions, increasing the economy of the country.
 * The presence of natural resources contributes to the economy of the local people, allowing them to make livings working or growing these resources on farms / sites. The money made from these sites helps contribute towards local schools and Health facilities.
