A selection of images showing the forests of Sumatra, Indonesia, and their destruction.
Current Government concessions and illegal logging are devastating Indonesia’s carbon-rich peatlands and rainforests for palm oil and pulp and paper plantations. The clearing of peatlands and forests significantly contributes to climate change. Indigenous people’s customary lands and rights have been violated, causing social conflict, and natural habitats of endangered species are dwindling.
Greenpeace are calling on the Indonesian and Norwegian governments to close loopholes in a billion dollar deal to immediately implement a moratorium on all further natural forest clearance both within new and existing concession areas.
