Indonesia has the highest number of crocodile attacks on people in the world. However, experts do not see the cause solely in the behavior of reptiles. As a result of the progressive destruction of mangrove forests and wetlands for mining projects and palm oil plantations, many animals are losing their natural habitat.

Gardens full of birds mean a healthy ecosystem, as well. Besides their lovely songs and vibrant colors, birds perform an array of services for the ecosystem, such as pest reduction, pollination, and increasing biodiversity. However, bird attraction requires more effort than planting a few green plants in the garden. As professionals point out, the best way to attract birds consists in providing food, water, safe places to hide, and places for nesting. By adding several items to the garden, it can become a great place for various birds to visit all year round.
