Environmental issues in Indonesia associated with human activities are forest degradation (unregulated cutting, fires, smoke and haze, and erosion); water pollution from industrial waste and sewage; air pollution from motor vehicles and industry in urban areas, and generally from smoke and haze caused by forest fires; and threats to biodiversity and rare plant and animal species.

Since May 2006, there is an uncontrollable mud volcano in Sidoardjo, East Java, Indonesia. The mud volcano erupted after an incident during an oil drilling project by PT Lapindo, a part of Bakrie group. The mud had covered more than 300 ha of land. More than 10,000 people are displaced and more than 1,000 people lost their job.
