The new animation highlights areas of the Bukit Tigapuluh landscape that are currently zoned for

From a political perspective, these tax credits have three very powerful constituencies: 1) All taxpayers 2)
Major companies looking to reduce their tax burden while doing something good for the environment 3) Landowners, farmers, ranchers, and the forest products industry (these groups will be eligible for tax credits for reforestation or agricultural changes on their own land; organizations such as the National Farmers Union, the American Forest and Paper Association, the National Alliance of Forest Owners, United Steelworkers, and many others have already been advocates for protection of tropical forests and cracking down on illegal
logging as a way to level the playing field
by ensuring products on the global market don't come from deforestation.)
