INDONESIA: deforestation champion.

The magazine "Nature climate change" published a report about deforestation which revealed that Indonesia has a double deforestation rate compared to the Brazilian one and so it has become the greatest forests destroyer in the world : 840.000 hectares (compared to 460.000 hectares destroyed by Brazil) of primary and uncontaminated forests.
But there are good news... The winner of the latest political elections, Joko Widodo, has announced a plan to preserve the forests. We hope they won't remain just words...
