摘要：

By using volunteers to map roads in forests across Borneo, Sumatra and New Guinea, an innovative study shows that existing maps of the Asia-Pacific region are rife with errors. It also reveals that unmapped roads are extremely common - up to seven times more abundant than mapped ones. Such 'ghost roads' are promoting illegal logging, mining, wildlife poaching and deforestation in some of the world's biologically richest ecosystems.
