Converting palm oil companies from forest destroyers into forest protectors
02/01/2011 (Mongabay) - In efforts to save the world\'s remaining rainforests great hopes have been pinned on \"degraded lands\" — deforested lands that are presently sitting idle in tropical countries.

But to date, degraded lands remain an enigma, especially in Indonesia, where deforestation continues at a rapid pace. Degraded lands are often misclassified by various Indonesian ministries—land in a far-off province may be listed as \"wasteland\" by Jakarta, but in reality is blanked by verdant forest that sequesters carbon, houses wildlife, and affords communities with food, water, and other essentials. Granting logging and plantation concessions on these lands can result in conflict and environmental degradation.
