October 24 2008: Flores Sea, Indonesia - Greenpeace Esperanza Expedition (sitios de interés)

Investigating Indonesia's Last Forest Frontier

With New Guinea now several days behind us, it's worth looking back over what we've seen since we arrived in Jayapura. Looking back over the footage and images from the helicopter flights over Papua and West Papua, there's still a great deal of relatively untouched forest on the island. But it's clear that threats from industrial logging and the expansion of palm oil plantations are ever-present, and in some regions we've witnessed extensive clearance of the forest.

Watch the video below to see some of the most dramatic footage from the flights, narrated by our on board campaigner Bustar.
