«Our study suggests... [the] initiative will not significantly reduce deforestation in northern Sumatra and will have little impact on orangutan conservation,» David Gaveau of the University of Kent, UK, and the Wildlife Conservation Society Indonesia Program told environmentalresearchweb, «because firstly a large amount of forest inside the proposed REDD project
area is protected de facto by being
inaccessible; and secondly much of northern Sumatra's lowland forests will remain
outside of REDD and will be exposed to the combined expansion of high - revenue oil palm plantations and road networks.»
