A Funded Project by the Department for International Development (DFID). Each of the 5 films examines the human stories behind illegal logging and deforestation in Indonesia. These films deal resolutely with how the villagers themselves are finding solutions. Travelling through Borneo, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Java and Papua these programmes gain unique access to the people from the forest and examines close-up their battle at the front-line of deforestation.

For many the issues surrounding climate change, deforestation and illegal logging can seem inordinately complex; the human side - the personal stories - can often be forgotten. But occasionally these global problems can affect one tiny area; and suddenly, in a microcosm, all the devastation and horror take on a very real human face. The communities and villages featured in this serialisation have all found themselves thrust into such a position.
