I'm living in rural area of Java, and well some rapid development are somewhat ridiculous if viewed from environmental pov. The historical rainforest has become very limited in small national parks, swapped by many agricultural fields, and nowadays those agricultural fields once again swapped by human buildings in the name of economic development, from factory, housing, cafe, or even public facilities like airport. Environmental consideration haven't become quite priority in government, business, even common people mind when doing something about those economic things.

Thanks for the insight--
It helped me a lot to understand why we, in Jakarta metropolitan area, often experience flash flooding annually every time the rainy season occurs

Majority of the policy makers are scientifically illiterate and ignorant, so there is little hope in the near future.
And that's sad.

Rivers in Jakarta are also full of garbage. It also adds to the reason why river water is difficult to seep into the ground.
