The escalation of land use conversion to agriculture is one of the key
drivers of the decline in critical ecosystem function and biodiversity. Vast
areas of forest in the tropics have been cleared and planted for various
agricultural crops including oil palm, which is one of the most important
crops in many tropical countries especially Indonesia and Malaysia. The
establishment of oil palm plantations is an incredibly intensive process,
involving converting native vegetation, usually degraded land or logged
over forest to a plantation, often leaving behind fragmented and isolated
rainforest in an oil palm matrix. |
