Mountain forests on the outskirts of Manokwari. Approximately 10% of the world’s rainforests are located in Indonesia. Fifty years ago, 82% of the country was covered with forests but in the last decade this has dropped to 48% due to relentless deforestation for paper and palm oil plantations and mining Photograph: Paul Hilton/Greenpeace

A leatherback turtle heads out to sea after laying eggs on Jamursba Medi beach, Tambrau District, West Papua. This remote beach, with no villages or towns nearby, is one of the last remaining leatherback nesting sites in the western Pacific and pegged as a site for the development of the Trans-Papua Highway. The construction of the road will threaten the turtle nesting area as well as important habitats for Papua's birds of paradise and other protected species Photograph: Paul Hilton/Greenpeace
