Canals dug into the carbon rich peat soils transport valuable logs out of the forests. Afterwards, the land is drained of water and remaining foliage and wood is burnt prior to the planting of palm plants. This releases huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and is the main reason that Indonesia is the world’s third largest greenhouse gas emitter, behind China and the US.Locations:Indonesia-Southeast Asia-SumatraDate:4 Aug, 2009Credit:© GreenpeaceDuration:50sAudio format:NaturalProduction Type :B-ROLL-CLIPREEL-SOUNDBITEKeywords:Climate (campaign title)-Day-Deforestation-Farmers-Fonterra-Forests (campaign title)-Forests (topography)-KWCI (GPI)-Men-Oil palm (plants)-Outdoors-Palm oil (product)-PeatlandShoot:Indonesian Rainforest Destruction and Palm PlantationsGreenpeace New Zealand staff traveled to Sumatra in August 2009 to document rainforest destruction due to the expansion of the palm oil industry. Led by communications manager Suzette Jackson the group included independent journalist from the Sunday Star Times, farmer Max Purnell and an Indonesian based documentary team. The expedition exposed New Zealand’s role in rainforest destruction through its largest dairy cooperative Fonterra. In 2008 one quarter of the world’s production of palm kernel animal feed was imported into New Zealand with the majority going to feed Fonterra’s dairy herd.Related Collections:Indonesian Rainforest Destruction and Palm Plantations (Photos & Videos)
