World's largest deforestation project fells forests for bioethanol fuel, sugar and rice in Indonesia Indonesia plans to clear forests about the size of Belgium to produce sugarcane-derived bioethanol, rice and other food crops, potentially displacing Indigenous groups who rely on the land to survive.

“We know the forests of #Papua are one of the biggest lungs of the world, yet we are destroying it,” Kwipalo said. “Indonesia should be proud to protect Papua ... not destroy it.”
