Indonesia has decided to change its capital from Jakarta to Nusantara, a site deep within the jungle of Kalimantan on Borneo Island.
The Meaning of Nusantara in Javanese is "archipelago"
Nusantara is an Indonesian province on the island of Borneo which is rich in mineral.
The idea behind relocating the capital is to relieve some of the burdens on Jakarta and the island of Java.
Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania between the Indian and Pacific oceans. Jakarta, its current capital, is located on the island of Java.
It has been projected that Jakarta, home to 10 million residents, will sink in the next 30 years, i.e by 2050.
Jakarta faces other environmental threats with the city's air quality plunging over the last few months. It is also one of the world's most overpopulated urban regions.
