It was my pleasure to support the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Indonesian Auditor Network, and Khaled Obaideen during their workshop “SDGs and vegetable oils”. The discussion on virgin forests versus timber plantations, oil palm and deforestation, and forest fires versus wildfires was an eye-opener for many. After some 30 years of grifters poisoning the public perception with oversimplified claims, bringing facts back into the debate is a long and tedious uphill battle.
