The Orang Rimba (or Kubu) indigenous people have seen their forest destroyed and now live under the barren shadow of Eucalyptus plantations of the Sinar Mas company near the village of Lubuk Mandar Syah. Eucalyptus is used to produce pulp and paper. There are still some natural forests in the area where the Oang Rimba hunt and collect products, but the Sinar Mas is planning to convert them to more plantations.Locations:Indonesia-Jambi-Southeast Asia-SumatraDate:10 Jul, 2009Credit:© Daniel Beltrá / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5616px X 3744pxKeywords:Cooking-Day-Eucalyptus-Food-Forests (campaign title)-Forests (topography)-Indigenous People-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-Plantations-Sinar Mas Group-Smoke-Trees-Two people-WomenShoot:Forests Documentation in Kalimantan and SumatraA documentation from flights over Kalimantan and Sumatra shows the destruction caused by the expansion of oil palm and Eucalyptus plantations and coal mining in what used to be pristine forests.
