This is the second time Greenpeace activists have taken action to stop APRIL destroying the natural forest of Kampar. After a Greenpeace action in October 2009, the Minister for Forests ordered the temporary suspension of APRIL operations, however this year operations restarted without the Ministry conducting the promised legal and legislative review of APRIL's existing permits or resolving conflicts between the company and the community as promised.
