Party Greenpeace accuses the Indonesian pulp and paper guidelines to Asia Pulp & Paper (APP).
The paper company is suspected of planning a huge expansion of exploitation of Indonesian forests, have enormous consequences (deforestation).
According to the report carried out by Greenpeace, an internal document of the APA in 2007, highlighting the project (never set aside) to increase production capacity 2.6000000-17.5000000 tonnes per year.
This plan emphasizes the fact that the APA tried to get hold of more than 1 million hectares of plantations to exploit virgin.
In the provinces of Sumatra's Riau and Jambi, the paper company has applied for 900,000 hectares of forests seems to have half is in possession of the powerful company.
addition to Greenpeace also sent in the area of \u200b\u200bTimes journalists who have found that the Indah Kiat mill, owned by the Asia Pulp & Paper, is constantly fed by timber from the rainforests.
There are many accusations that are made by Greenpeace to a string of world-class big companies that do business for years with the APP as: Wal-Mart, Hewlett Packard, Auchan, Carrefour, Tesco, KFC, Kraft, Nestle, Unilever, Kimberly-Clark.
The consequences of this exploitation has led Indonesia to move into third place of the podium certainly not very edifying, that producer of greenhouse gases.
currently appears to be the second largest supplier of palm oil, a component of hundreds of thousands of products, many of which are present in our homes and everyday use. In recent years it has often been considered as an alternative fuel to petrol.
Just read the ingredients of many snack foods and snacks or even the soap you will find it there too!
The great demand for this product has meant that plantations of palm trees are grown in an exaggerated way to the detriment of protected areas, agricultural land and destroying the ecosystem of many protected species such as rhinos, orangutans and Sumatran tiger than to put in serious economic forest communities.
I conclude with a very significant sentence of a Greenpeace activist in the south-east Asia, "Some global brands are pulped the planet."
