I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct answer is: Overcrowding and drought.
The correct answer is: Overcrowding and destruction of rain forests.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand which population and environmental issues are affecting the economy of Indonesia.
First, let's consider the population issue of overcrowding. Overcrowding refers to a situation where there are too many people living in a certain area, beyond its capacity to sustain them. In Indonesia, the population is growing rapidly, which leads to increased pressure on resources, infrastructure, and services. This can strain the economy and hinder its growth.
Next, let's look at the environmental issue of destruction of rainforests. Indonesia is home to extensive rainforests, which are vital ecosystems that provide various economic benefits, such as timber and non-timber forest products. However, unsustainable logging practices, deforestation for agriculture or infrastructure development, and illegal activities have resulted in the destruction of these rainforests. This poses environmental challenges and negatively impacts the economy by affecting sectors like forestry and tourism.
So, the correct answer is overcrowding and destruction of rainforests. These issues have significant implications for the economy of Indonesia.
