The province was the epicentre of Indonesia’s 2015 forest fires disaster.The direct action to restore peatlands is being carried out by the local community along with Greenpeace and local organisations Save our Borneo and the Center for International Cooperation in Sustainable Management of Tropical Peatland (CIMTROP) at the University of Palangka Raya. Forest and peatland destruction, mainly for plantations, is both a major cause of forest fires and the source of Indonesia’s largest contribution to climate change. Greenpeace calls on the Indonesian government and CEOs of the big palm oil and paper companies to work together to ban trade with any company that continues to drain peatlands and destroy forests.Locations:Asia-Central Kalimantan-Indonesia-Southeast AsiaDate:23 Nov, 2015Credit:© Ardiles Rante / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3500px X 2333pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Activists-Canals-Dams-Day-Forests (campaign title)-Greenpeace activists-High angle view-KWCI (GPI)-Large group of people-Local population-Outdoors-Peatland-Public engagement-WaterShoot:Damming Activity in Central KalimantanThe direct action to restore peatlands is being carried out by the local community along with Greenpeace and local organisations Save our Borneo and the Center for International Cooperation in Sustainable Management of Tropical Peatland (CIMTROP) at the University of Palangka Raya.
