Indonesia's Strategic Position and Natural Resources
📌 Indonesia's astronomical location is between 6° North and 11° South latitude and 95° East and 141° East longitude.
🌍 This location on the Equator results in a tropical climate, characterized by high rainfall, high temperature/humidity, and year-round sunlight.
🗺️ Geographically, Indonesia lies between two continents (Asia and Australia) and two oceans (Pacific and Indian), making it a highly strategic crossroads.

Geological Location and Impact
🌋 Indonesia is situated at the convergence of three major tectonic plates: Eurasian, Indo-Australian, and Pacific.
💥 This convergence causes tectonic activity, leading to faults (like the Lembang and Semangko faults) and the formation of folded mountains, contributing to fertile volcanic soils suitable for agriculture.
📉 95% of earthquakes in Indonesia are caused by tectonic plate movement, with 71,628 seismic events recorded between 2009 and 2019 according to BMKG data.

Classification and Potential of Natural Resources (SDA)
🌱 Natural Resources (SDA) are classified by sustainability: renewable (e.g., water, solar energy) and non-renewable (e.g., coal, petroleum).
⛏️ Mineral resources are categorized into three groups: Group A (Strategic, e.g., oil, gas), Group B (Vital, e.g., gold, copper), and Group C (Others, e.g., salt, limestone).
🌊 Marine resources include both renewable (fisheries, coral) and non-renewable sources (offshore oil, gas, and sand).

Sustainable Management of Natural Resources
⚖️ Sustainable management aims to meet current needs without compromising future generations, guided by principles like equity, prevention, and biodiversity protection.
🌳 Sustainable forest management includes practices such as reforestation, selective cutting (tebang pilih), and rehabilitation.
🚜 In agriculture, sustainability is supported through crop rotation, organic farming, and agroforestry to maintain soil health.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Indonesia experiences distinct seasons due to the West Monsoon (rainy season: October–April) and the East Monsoon (dry season: April–October).
➡️ The country's maritime policy (based on Presidential Regulation No. 34/2002) targets optimal and sustainable management of marine resources and building a reliable maritime economy.
➡️ For sustainable industry, efforts should focus on adopting green industry principles and shifting away from fossil fuels towards environmentally friendly energy sources.
