N2  - Indonesia is a country with the largest peatland area in the
tropical %pne. Peatlands save 30 percent carbon in the earth
surface that plays important roles in hydrological functions,
the global carbon cycle and biodiversity maintenance. The
burnt peatlands release C02 to the atmosfer. Additionally,
emissions from multi useful peatlands such as agriculture
and extraction for fuel have also contributed to the increase
of CO2 level. CO2 is one of the greenhouse gases - i. <?. gases
that can retain heat away from earth surface.
The burnt 1.5 million hectares peatland was estimated to
have produced 1.98 billion tons of C02 emissions. According
to the Indonesia's WWF, approximately 858.000 hectares
of peatland in Sumatra and Kalimantan u>as destroyed
by fires during the period of 1997-2006. Eased on these data,
the present study reveals that during this period a total of
1,3 billion tons of CO2 have been released to the atmosphere.
Therefore, the phenomenon has led to the increase
of the earth surface's temperature. It means Indonesia's
peatlands have a significant contribution to the global
warming.
