Jakarta, August 16 (AFP) Environmental experts warn that Jakarta, one of the fastest sinking cities on Earth, could sink a third of it by 2050 if the same pace continues.





Jakarta is sinking rapidly, Indonesia's capital on the verge of disaster





The reasons include uncontrolled exploitation of groundwater reserves, rising sea level and rapidly changing weather for decades. Parts of it have just started disappearing.





Existing environmental measures have had little effect. Therefore, the government is taking drastic measures. Under this, it has been decided to change the capital of the country.





According to local reports, its location may be announced soon.





Indonesia's President Joko Widodo said on Twitter, "The capital of our country will move to the island of Borneo."
