The New Forest of Indonesia - Oil Palm
This is the nursery for a new oil palm plantation. In the distance you can see the forest still standing. This nursery is smack in the middle of 30,000 hectares of primary forest that has been given as a concession to a PT Oil Palm group for conversion into an Oil Palm plantation.
This means that by the end of the year this land will have been logged of all its valuable hard wood trees. The land will then be totally clear cut. Not a tree will be left standing. The whole landscape will be empty. Then the palm oil will be planted.
