Greenpeace reveals Indonesia's forests at risk as multiple companies claim rights to same land​

Collusion between private sector and government exacerbating problems, says corruption official

Indonesia's palm oil, mining and logging industries are enmeshed in a cat's cradle of overlapping land claims and corruption that are hampering attempts to stop deforestation and fires, newly released maps reveal.

Compiled over almost a decade by Greenpeace using data from provincial governments, resource companies and others, the interactive maps highlight the vast scale of the concession overlap. Across more than 7m hectares - an area equivalent to the Republic of Ireland - licences for the same concessions have been allocated to as many as four palm, pulpwood, logging or coal mining companies at a time.
