Paper mill, Sumatra
Year:
2010
Taken by:
Peter Prokosch
The forests on the Indonesian island of Sumatra are witnessing some of the fastest rates of deforestation in the world. Over the last decade, dozens of pulp and paper companies have established themselves on the island chopping down trees and setting up palm oil plantations on the cleared land. These changes have far-reaching environmental as well as socio-economic impacts on the island communities so dependent on the natural resources and ecosystem services provided by the rainforests.
