Excellent article with great photography but the reality on the ground is horrific.
Environmental monitor Nusantara Atlas estimates that in the last 25 years, almost 4.5 million hectares of forest in Sumatra has been lost — a land area four times larger than Greater Melbourne. Many companies have been carrying out significant land clearing legally, with government permits, but large swathes of land have also been illegally cleared.
Just how much the government is doing/will do is questionable as the article conveys. Meanwhile, these rural communities suffer terribly. Greed coupled with climate heating creates more climate heating and we are jyust as guilty in Australia.
