illegal logging

In Indonesia the government has allowed loggers to come in and clear the forests. Now Palm oil plantations are replacing the forests because palm oil is used as biofuel. Indonesia releases more carbon dioxide than any other country because of the deforestation. This is now becoming a global issue because of the amount of greenhouse gases that are being released. The problem is how can countries stop illegal logging? Some people suggest the use of satellite can solve the problem.
