阅读理解 A man in Indonesia is walking backwards for 435 miles (700 kilometers). He's making the trip to encourage the government and others to protect and rebuild Indonesia's rainforests. Medi Bastoni is 43 years old. He is the father of four children and lives in Dono, Indonesia. That's about 12.5 miles(20 kilometers) from Mount Wilis, a beautiful mountain area that has had large areas of forests cut down in the past. Indonesia is the largest country in the world formed by a group of islands. There are over 16 ,000 islands in Indonesia, and most of them are covered with rainforests. Forests cover about 70% of the country. But on Java, where Mr Bastoni lives, there are more people, and far more forests have been cleared. Some areas of Indonesia's rainforests have been cut or burned. Mr Bastoni believes it's important to protect forests from being cut down and to restore them when they have been destroyed. Near his home, Mount Wilis is now being restored, but Mr Bastoni wants to make sure that this protection continues. That's why he came up with the idea of the 435-mile walk. He aims to walk from his home in Dono, across most of the island of Java to the country's capital, Jakarta. There, he hopes to meet the country's president, Joko Widodo. Mr Bastoni hopes to arrive in Jakarta on August 17. It is the country s independence day celebration. If he is able to meet Mr Widodo, he plans to ask him for the seed of a tree to plant at the bottom of Mount Wilis. The seed is meant asa symbol and a promise that the area will be protected. And walking backwards is a symbol, too. Mr Bastoni wants Indonesians to look back at their past and think about how they got their independence. But walking backwards is also a good way to get attention. Right now, Mr Bastoni s backwards walk is pretty big news in Indonesia. （1） What's Medi Bastoni's purpose of making the 435-mile trip? A .
