Many illegal logging happened there, and the actors not only Indonesian people but also foreigner or neighboring countries. Fire also in vault in decreasing forest, intentional by the people although by the nature caused by the climate. Borneo forest which is called the lung of the world has lost a lot numbers of area.

Apartment can be inhabited by large number of people in just one building. Many property agent offer apartment with beautiful view, see the night city light from the height, and many more promotion. But, apartment has weakness too. People who lived in there, do not have land for plantation. Without plant, it feels empty and hot.
