Dear Steemit friends...
In this post I want to tell about the plant that damage carrier.
From my trip to Lhoksukon, Aceh Utara, Aceh, I photographed oil palm plantations in areas where people live. It looks clean, tidy and shady, within a plantation area. But behind all these plants, which inadvertently bring water damage and reduce water in the soil.
Environmental scientist from the University of Riau, Ariful Amri MSc, once checked the damage of land due to oil palm plantations. The study concluded that, in one day, oil palm can absorb 12 liters of nutrients and water in the soil.
Furthermore, the practice of conversion of natural forests for oil palm plantation development is often he main cause of natural disasters, such as floods and landslides. Even in the dry season this area will experience drought, because the nature of oil palm that absorbs many nutrients and water in the soil.
From the above story, what is the benefit for the surrounding community? I think it's not an advantage but a disaster. Then who is more profitable? Of course, palm oil businessmen, who do not want to know the cause of the disaster
From the number of bad impacts that palm oil produces, do you agree that the area of oil palm plantation continues to be expanded?
