New blog on Oil Palm in Africa
http://oilpalminafrica.wordpress.com/Governments are opening the doors to corporations for occupying vast areas of land with oil palm plantations –even in parts of Africa where this palm is not native. Large scale oil palm plantations are already causing serious environmental and social impacts in some countries and resulting in loss of community rights over their territories.
Given the difficulty for accessing information and analysis on this issue, WRM has created a blog for facilitating a two-way information flow on oil palm in Africa.
