It highlights the potential destruction of the Loeser ecosystem, a significant forest block in Southeast Asia, due to mining, palm oil, and paper industries. Conservationists argue that these changes prioritize business interests over environmental protection. The video also shows the expansion of palm oil plantations, threatening the habitat of critically endangered orangutans.
