A coal mining truck operates at an opencast coalmine in Kalimantan, Indonesia, on December 8, 2024. Environmental activists express concern about the slow growth of renewable energy and the continued reliance on coal. In 2001, Indonesia has 93.8 million hectares of primary forest, covering more than 50% of its total land area. By 2023, Indonesia loses 292 thousand hectares of primary forest, equivalent to 221 million tons of CO2 emissions. Of this loss, 144 thousand hectares are located within Indonesia's official forest land cover classes and have a patch size larger than two hectares. Coal consumption in Indonesia surges in the last decade. In 2013, Indonesia's coal consumption is recorded at 72.07 million tons. This figure jumps to 138.42 million tons in 2019 and further increases to 212.87 million tons in 2023. Meanwhile, the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) acknowledges that Indonesia is still dependent on coal to meet its energy needs and will require a significant amount of time to transition away from this dependency.

The Eurasian collared dove, or Indian ringed dove (Streptopelia decaocto), is a medium-sized species native to Europe and Asia. It has been introduced to Japan, North America, and islands in the Caribbean. The dove is grey-buff to pinkish-grey overall, slightly darker above than below, with a blue-grey underwing patch. It features a distinctive black half-collar edged with white on its nape, from which it derives its name. The Eurasian collared dove is not migratory but is highly dispersive. Over the last century, it has become one of the great colonizers of the bird world, extending its range to colder countries and becoming a permanent resident in several of them. These doves are monogamous. A Eurasian collared dove is perched on a custard apple (Annona reticulata) tree in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, as of 17 April 2024.
