Palm Oil Production in Kalimantan
A network of tracks in a deforested area for oil palm plantations near Kwala Kwayan.
Indonesia has one of the fastest rates of forest destruction on the planet, with the expansion of palm oil and pulp and paper plantations as the major drivers, pushing the orangutan to the brink of extinction and accelerating climate change.

Forests Documentation in Kalimantan and Sumatra
A 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. The consequences of the land clearance cause climate change and are devastating for the wildlife in the area, including orangutans who are dramatically threatened by the lost of their natural habitat.
