Spike in deforestation in Indonesian protected area linked to shadowy firms based in tax havens
Global demand for wood pellets and pulp is fuelling a resurgence in deforestation in Kalimantan, home to the Indigenous Dayak community and critically-endangered orangutans. The firm responsible has murky ties to Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysian entities, NGOs claim.
Researchers switched off some genes in a poplar tree to make for easier wood fibre extraction, and potentially greater efficiency in the pulping industry. The practice, however, carries biodiversity risks, warns an Asian expert.
People's Movement to Stop Haze, a non-profit that advocates on the transboundary haze crisis in Southeast Asia, will be helmed by its president Low Ying Hui in the interim.

The planned expansion will have catastrophic consequences for forests, peatlands, and communities, warn NGOs. APP says the expansion will not breach its no-deforestation pledge, and is aligned with the new Omnibus Law to boost investment and jobs.
