"Indonesia and Malaysia have cut deforestation by more than half in recent
years, a new report shows.

“Indonesia and Malaysia have managed to keep rates of primary forest loss near
record-low levels,” according to an analysis from the World Resources
Institute. Across both countries, average yearly forest loss fell dramatically
between the years 2015-2017 and 2020-2022, with Indonesia seeing a 64 percent
decline and Malaysia a 57 percent decline.

Indonesia is aiming for its forests to absorb more carbon than they release by
2030 and has taken steps toward that goal, including ramping up efforts to
suppress forest fires. Both nations have also moved to curb logging and limit
the clearing of land for palm oil plantations."
