Option 1

 * Article title
 * Climate change in Indonesia


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think the biggest short comings of this article and many articles when in reference to climate change in specific regions/countries are the causes or exacerbations of environmental issues in the region. For example, it's great that they mention the water level risings and how it is exacerbated by unlicensed groundwater extraction, but maybe mention why there is so much unlicensed extraction that it would cause an issue, such as lack of access to clean water, poverty, contamination, etc. Or how palm oil production is causing a biodiversity risk where it may cause food security risks without outside imports. I did like how the climate maps showed a change in climate classifications based on the rising temperatures by 2030 though I do wish there was a more detailed description or possibly even a potential link toward environmental consequences of these changes.Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Environmental issues in Indonesia


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think this article did a great job with visuals and explaining all major industries with Indonesia that have some effect on the environmental issues plaguing the country today. The only thing I would consider adding, either in the government policies section or as a new section all together, would be an NGO acknowledgement, their policies and action alongside or in some cases against the government and extractivist industries. Additionally, if possible and with enough sources, the complex nature of both anti and pro palm oil for farmers that have now become reliant on the cash crop and the inevitable biodiversity damage caused by monocultural farming methods.
