An investigation by Rainforest Action Network has identified new illegal forest clearing for palm oil in Indonesia's protected Leuser ecosystem. The loss of habitat for endangered species such as the Sumatran orangutan has been connected to Singapore-headquartered firms with no-deforestation pledges that supply major consumer brands.

With the rainforest on fire, the Amazon Fund could lose support if Trump wins the presidency.

Environmentalists warn the plan to increase palm oil content in biodiesel will mean more deforestation, despite its association with renewables.

There is a 'massive gap between rhetoric and reality' that must be closed by new climate pledges being drafted under the Paris Agreement, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) says.
