State of affairs, a question

From an global ecological point of view, a massive change of environmental politics in Malaysia and Indonesia is urgently necessary. The remnants of the primeval forest are important for the whole mankind on earth, not to speak of the other forms of life.
But is there any serious attempt to be seen to stop the ongoing destruction? Do the governments contend or quarrel with the big companies? Or are they generally in favour of their intentions? What is the influence of the local authorities? Is it measurable or is it to be neglected?
And what is the opinion of the people affected by all this? Are the news right that ever more feel the loss of their native land and oppose to all that? Or do they still hope to gain an advantage from it? And do they?
