Greenpeace activists wear masks and hold mock chainsaws during a protest demanding the Indonesian government to stop deforestation at the Forestry Ministry in Jakarta, Indonesia, Wednesday. Around 300 football fields of trees in Indonesia are destroyed every hour due to illegal logging, mining and slash-and-burn land clearing for highly profitable palm oil plantations, which would be making the country a major contributor to global warming.
