Indonesians Fight to Save Peatlands, Vital Ecosystems, and Carbon Stores

Imagine peatlands as giant sponges holding lots of carbon, like a storage for the Earth.

These are found in Indonesia.

However, companies want to use this land for farming, like palm oil plantations, which harms the environment.

Locals are worried and protest because when the peatlands dry up, they catch fire easily, causing pollution and financial trouble.

People are trying to protect these areas by speaking out and even filing lawsuits, but it's an ongoing struggle to save these important ecosystems.
