INDONESIA
Indonesia is a beautiful country from its amazing views to its unique culture; there is no place like it so it is very special. It has a very distinctive history as well as having a variety in religion even though a specific belief is the majority. This country is made up of clusters of islands in the ocean which gives them a beautiful perspective due to the ocean being really close to the population. Although Indonesia is a wonderful place, there are also many issues going on which changes their reputation. Many problems like corruption, deforestation, pollution, and poverty greatly affect this country while changing many peoples’ views upon them. And as a result of this, many organizations were created to help improve and try to resolve these issues which still continue to do so today. Although not much progress has been done, there is still a great potential for change that those organizations can achieve as well as getting the community involved to change the world by saving the seas. Indonesia officially the Republic of Indonesia, was declared independent in 1942 after Japanese forces surrendered to allies who began Indonesia’s development into becoming a stronger nation. After many years, Indonesia evolved into a beautiful region located in Southeast and includes over 17,500 islands from which 11,000 are habited and 6,000 aren’t. The capital is Jakarta and according to the 2012 census there are over 237.6 million people living on these islands. The largest islands are Sumatra, Bali, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Moluccas, Nusa Tenggara islands, and Java which is the most populated. The entire region of Indonesia is 2 million sq. km. (736,000 sq. mi.) and is about three times the size of Texas; that’s huge!
