Case Study Nyaru Menteng in Central Kalimantan

Burned peatland and forest remains, planted with oil palm seedlings, near the Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Sanctuary west of Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan. The lack of current data and transparency creates confusion about where the actual protected forest moratorium is. Based on best available data, forest moratorium is overlapping with 5.5 million hectares of forest whose licenses have been given to serve as timber and oil palm plantations, selective logging or mining.
