28 जुल॰ 2017 — https://news.mongabay.com/2017/07/as-indonesias-leuser-ecosystem-faces-multiple-threats-local-resistance-grows/ The Leuser ecosystem faces threats from hydroelectric plants and geothermal plants. Many of these proposals are illegal. "One such development is a hydroelectric power plant in Tampur, Gayo Lues Regency, part of the Leuser Ecosystem. The planned 428-megawatt dam will be 173.5 meters (570 feet) high, with a reservoir capacity of 697.4 million cubic meters (24.6 billion cubic feet). The plans also call for 4,000 hectares (15.4 square miles) to be flooded, and the construction of a network of high-voltage transmission lines. Although 4,000 hectares of the Leuser Ecosystem will end up under water and dozens of families will have to be relocated, the committee responsible for reviewing environmental impact assessments (EIAs) in Aceh has approved the project. In a Dec. 28, 2016 hearing, the Aceh EIA Analysis Commission stated that hydroelectric development plans in the regencies of Aceh Tamiang, Langsa City, East Aceh and Gayo Lues were acceptable and environmentally suitable, provided the documents be revised to reflect the advice of members of the technical team and the EIA commission."
