Deforestation in Indonesia
Katarina Premfors
Invited by Greenpeace I photographed deforestation and its effects on three villages.
One village devastated by the effects off an island off Sumtra, another village on mainland Sumatra; who has learned to move forward and take control after their village was changed forever and West Papua where some of the last of the Virgin rain forests exists.
