Investigation on Deforestation in Papua 2018

A palm oil supplier to Mars, Nestlé, PepsiCo and Unilever is destroying rainforests in Papua, Indonesia, a new investigation by Greenpeace International has revealed.
Photos taken in March and April 2018 show massive deforestation in PT Megakarya Jaya Raya, a palm oil concession controlled by the Hayel Saeed Anam Group (HSA).
Satellite analysis suggests PT MJR cleared around 4,000ha of rainforest between May 2015 and April 2017 – an area almost half the size of Paris. The destruction resumed in September/October 2017, including within the peatland protection zone, introduced by the Indonesian government in response to the devastating forest fires in 2015. Development is prohibited in these areas.
