In Indonesia, rainforest areas equivalent to 300 football fields are cut down and burnt every hour to clear land for crops such as palm oil. This looks like a fascinating documentary. An Australian businessman seeking inclusion for ‘avoided deforestation’ in the Kyoto Protocol or post Kyoto Protocol travels to Indonesia and the rest of the world to consult and confront the politicians, businesses, scientists and workers, including a Dutch woman who cares for injured and sick Orang-utan’s, and a palm oil farmer who relies on the destruction of rainforests to grow his crop. Thanks ABC.
