They illegally occupied National Lands, and began clearing forest and implanting palm nurseries prior to completing a social-environmental impact assessment, in violation of Cameroonian law. They also logged illegally.In November 2013, they were granted a three-years provisional land lease by Presidential Decree to develop a palm oil concession of approximately 20 000 hectares – whereas their original plan was for 73 000. As their land lease expires in November 2016, Greenpeace and its partners launch a campaign for the Cameroonian government not to extend or renew this lease.Related Collections:Cameroonian Farmers Bring SGSOC Oil Palm Plantation to Justice (Photos & Videos)
