Indonesia's rainforests face an uncertain future as illegal logging continues
Greenpeace is campaigning to save Indonesia's last remaining ancient rainforests from illegal and destructive logging and to promote sustainable alternatives.
The Indonesian archipelago is home to some of the most magnificent tropical forests in the world. These forests represent 10% of the world's remaining forest cover.
Indonesia is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world. It also has the world's longest list of threatened species. The list includes the orang-utan, which are only found on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. In the last ten years, orang-utan populations have halved. Over the last twenty years, 80% of their habitat has been destroyed.
Every year, an area of Indonesian forest larger than Wales is destroyed. Indonesia's indigenous and forest-dwelling peoples have next to no legal rights to manage and protect the forests they depend on.
In a new report, Partners in Crime, Greenpeace investigated the links between the UK and Indonesia's timber barons.
