However, Indonesia is losing its forests . . . World Resources Institute

. . . currently to plantations for palm oil. But what is palm oil? World Resources Institute

Oil palm plantations have grown dramatically in Indonesia 2007 Sources: “Indonesian Palm Oil Industry”, paper given by Derom Bangun, Executive Chairman, Indonesian Palm Oil Producers Association (GAPKI), at the National Institute of Oilseed Products Annual Convention, March 21-25, 2006, Phoenix, Arizona. http://www.oilseed.org/pdf/am_2006_materials/Bangun_Text.pdf . “ Palm oil firms burning Indonesia forests-Greenpeace”, Reuters, July 12, 2007. http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/JAK23429.htm

You can see oil palm plantations expanding into forests . . .
