Merapi’s recent eruptions have destroyed more than 860 hectares of forest in the surrounding area, causing estimated initial losses of at least Rp 33 billion [US$3.66 million].
The eruption destroyed several areas of forest, including parts of the Gunung Merapi National Park (TNGM) in Sleman, Yogyakarta, as well as forests and plantations belonging to local residents.
The eruptions had killed more than 270,000 trees, Yogyakarta Forestry Agency secretary Kardina said.
The damaged areas of forest in the National Park had been closed to public indefinitely, Kardina said as quoted by Antara news agency.
“The eruption also forced animals to migrate to other areas, and destroyed Javanese eagle nesting sites.”
