EU bio-fuel demand threatens Indonesian forests: Greenpeace

Growing European Union demand for bio-fuel could threaten Indonesia’s last remaining forests as the government approves new palm oil plantations, environmental group Greenpeace warned Thursday.

“Given the indiscriminate approval by the Indonesian government for palm oil plantations, the large demand from the EU could prove to be the final nail in the coffin for our remaining forests,” Greenpeace Southeast Asia campaigner Hapsoro said in a statement.
