Chinese funded development a ploy to access rainforest timbers,
will devastate Borneo's biodiversity and largest remaining wild
orangutan population

Indonesia plans to cut a 2,000 kilometer long, five kilometer
wide swathe through one of the world's largest remaining areas
of pristine rainforest to create a massive oil palm plantation.
The project would destroy two million hectares of ancient
rainforest in Kalimantan, traversing almost the entire border
with Malaysia, and slicing through three national parks. These
remote rainforests on the island of Borneo are home to countless
species of rare birds, plants and mammals including the largest
remaining wild orangutan population. This Chinese-funded
"agricultural development" is almost certainly a thinly veiled
ruse to access timber. Indonesia has huge land areas of
abandoned, unproductive palm oil plantations and degraded forest
areas that would be suitable for oil palm development. Palm oil
plantations - which completely clear the rainforests and are
biologically depauperate - are the number one enemy of
orangutans. Orangutans need vast areas of interconnected forest
to survive, and this ill-conceived project would speed up their
extinction. Let the Indonesian President know he must cancel the
Kalimantan project, and that new oil palm plantations should be
built only in previously cleared and unused areas. Note your
protest emails are going to nine addresses, please inform us if
some start to bounce.
