A handout photo released by the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme shows the clearing and fires that continue to burn in Tripa's peat forest for palm oil plantations in the Aceh province, Sumatra, Indonesia, 12 June 2012. According to a field team from the coalition of NGO's to protect Tripa, that visited the area. Fires are continuing to be lit in the highly threatened Tripa Peat Forest despite assurances from the Indonesian central government that 'triple track' legal action was underway and a small area of the Peat Forest had returned to the moratorium map central to the multibillion agreement between Indonesia and Norway to reduce carbon emission from burning the carbon dense Peat Forests.
