Solid, documentation that researchers undertook great risks and hardship to obtain, this report shows the world that the Indonesian foresty industry is a danger to Indonesia's own trajectory of development, its people, and the world's climate. Beware World Bank and IFC, this is a sector not worth investing it.

However, considering the uncertainties of carbon inventories and the fact that only net-emissions beyond the MRE could lead to any funds, Indonesia would need to reduce its deforestation rate by more than 75% AND implement an inventory system of higher accuracy than most European forest inventory systems to be entitled for any funds at all. Other efforts would be swallowed by the uncertainties etc. and not lead to any eligible net-emissions.
