Indonesia may move capital to Kalimantan

Hope they leave a few trees.

One high school student told the BBC: "I hope the city will develop and the education will become as good as in Jakarta. But all the land and forest that's empty space now will be used. Kalimantan is the lungs of the world, and I am worried, we will lose the forest we have left."

WoW that's incredible... Thanks for posting! 10 Million people in Jakarta?

Every time I read an article about Indonesia ... it's amazing stuff. They've had some terrible disasters over recent years.

Im not sure if that will effect the population all that greatly, i mean, everyone isnt going to just sell their homes and move because the capital and government offices relocated ya know. New population will probably end up there but the old population would stay is my hypothesis, (its not a very educated guess but its a guess i suppose). I hope they dont deforrest too much tho, its a shame if they do
