During July 2008, study of environmental problems especially about forest ecosystem of Haruku village was done by expert from Pattimura University and the results indicated that the forest ecosystem of Haruku village are influenced and destroyed by the activities of the Haruku communities themselves. They are cutting the forest for shifting cultivation, to overcome house construction and fuel wood needs.
