This slide (shared by CIFOR) shows acacia plantations and oil palm plantations were responsible for 24% and 29% of deforestation in Riau Province between 1982 and 2007. Some of the plantations have moved into peatland, a carbon rich ecosystem, contributing to Indonesia's high greenhouse gas emissions.
