DFace NewsIndonesian authorities have paused, and possibly ended, what has been called the world's largest deforestation project. The country reached self-sufficiency in rice growing about three years ahead of its government timetable, which means roughly four million acres of rainforest, swamps, and peatlands across major Indonesian islands will now be spared from clearing. The long-term fate of those…
