Note: Indonesia has one of the world’s worst deforestation rates, averaging at around 2 million hectares a year. In 1950 the forest cover of Indonesia was about 160 million hectares, today less than 48 million hectares are left. As the demand of bio-diesel, which is made from palm oil is rising, the pressure on local communities to sell their forests as a short gain profit is rising. If rainforests are deforested these trees cannot capture CO2 in the atmosphere anymore, thus contributing to global warming. The ecological equation of bio-fuel made of palm oil is destructive: Per litre bio-diesel there are 800 % more green house gases than with fosile diesel. More than half of the Earth's species live in the rainforests. These rainforests are also the home of 50 Million indiginous people as well as the source of biodiversity and many yet unknown plants of medical value.
