Isn’t loss of rainforest in Indonesia now due to large agrobusinesses cutting it down to build enormous plantations of palm oil trees? Deforestation in Madagascar is largely driven by dirt-poor subsistence farmers cutting down neighboring patches of rainforest in order to plant rice (and also Chinese firms logging precious woods for the furniture industry), but I thought Southeast Asia was a different case.
