The Forum in Marrakesh saw the launch of an interactive atlas of Borneo developed by CIFOR and partners. The tool utilizes the Landsat archive to enable users to assess the level of company-driven deforestation or avoided deforestation of plantation companies with operations in Borneo. The map is currently limited to Borneo, but there are plans to expand. It provides the first opportunity to track deforestation rates caused by plantation companies over four decades — and therefore estimates plantation companies’ level of accountability related to deforestation.
