__** My Opinion: **__ I believe that the protection of the Earth's forests and animals is very important not only for the communities but for the survival of the Earth as well because without the tree's, oxygen will be severely reduced and the amount of air will decrease whereas the amount of carbon dioxide will increase also the ecological balance will impact greatly on the whole Earth. The forests and it's creatures need our help for protection, especially in Indonesia because without us other company's and people will destroy this magnificent landscape and kill any creatures living in it to gain a profit.

__** People unhappy with the organisations goal/aim: **__ //The people or organisations that may be upset and annoyed with the protection of Indonesia's environmental are://
 * Organisations that wish to use the trees and outer resources to gain a profit
 * The local people who wish to mine or collect the resources for their own profit to sell at the local market
