Greenpeace is conducting an assessment and mapping in parts of Riau province, using satellite imagery and aerial photography, to develop a rehabilitation plan for peatlands already degraded and drained by palm oil and pulp and paper companies. Riau Province holds some of the last large intact area of peat swamp forest with some of the deepest peat in Indonesia; the rest has been destroyed by the agriculture and logging industries.
