Mongabay: Forest clearing within areas zoned for timber, logging, oil palm, and mining accounted for nearly 45 percent of deforestation in Indonesia between 2000 and 2010, finds a new study that examined forest loss within industrial concessions. The research, published in the journal Conservation Letters, used a combination of satellite data and concession data to link specific activities to forest cover change. It found that of the 14.7 million hectares of forest cleared in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi,...

They look harmless as the monsoon winds sweep them north and east towards Singapore, Malaysia and deep into Cambodia, Laos and Thailand.

The paper, published on Wednesday, argues that the new land regulation currently being discussed in parliament fails to take a holistic view of managing peatlands. For example, the regulation doesn't adequately protect shallow peat areas that may be connected...

Indonesia made international headlines last year after massive fires in forest and peatland areas in Riau province on Sumatra...
