End Homelessness

"Indonesia is rapidly losing its lowland forests to logging, much of it illegal...[I]n the two Landsat scenes shown above, the pattern of deforestation can be clearly discerned. Deep green in these images shows lush vegetation in the forest cover. In both scenes, deep and pale red shows areas where there is little or no vegetation, often bare ground from where forest has been completely stripped. The latter Landsat scene from 2001 not only shows extensive clear cut areas, but also new logging roads built into the remaining forest to facilitate future cutting. This lowland forest region is located on Indonesia’s largest island, Sumatra, roughly 100 km southwest of the provincial capital of Jambi."
