The natural peatlands are drained and the areas are burned in order to make space for plant palm oil saplings. This causes massive amounts of biodiversity loss and releases vast amounts of peatland carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.Related Collections:Documentation on Palm Oil Industry in Indonesia (Photo & Video)
