Indonesia's biological wealth occupies the top ranks of the biological wealth of countries in the world. Together with Brazil and Madagascar, Indonesia has tremendous biodiversity along the islands in its territory.
Unfortunately, many natural resources have not been processed optimally. The causes are many. Apart from being constrained by qualified equipment, awareness about the use of natural resources is also still limited. Sometimes, even when used, it tends to be exploitative or very destructive to nature.
One example of Indonesia's natural wealth that is often overlooked is laban wood. Laban or Kalapapa is a type of wood found in Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Papua.
There are many benefits of profit in society. The bark of this species is often used as a raw material for making tea.
