Communication Manager Suzette Jackson from Greenpeace New Zealand stands on devastated rainforest and peatlands. 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. This is the main reason that Indonesia is the world’s third largest greenhouse gas emitter behind China and the US.
