Critically endangered species in Sumatra on the road to extinction

[Nihil]

2. Not just a blow, not just a double blow but a triple blow to Nature ...

1) Dividing the Harapan rainforest (thus splitting habitats and opening it up to illegal hunting & logging.

2) Increasing the export (and hence the extraction) of coal to be burned, screwing up the climate.

3) Destroying the trust & confidence that led major ecological organisations to fund the Indonesian
nations in return for NOT doing what they have just done.

From now on, the response will be "Fuck Indonesia" when they ask for help.

(But that will be too late for the forest or its denizens.)
