Deforestation for Palm Oil by Bumitama in Indonesia
Excavators clear intact peatland forests and build drainage canals in an oil palm concession owned by PT Andalan Sukses Makmur, a subsidiary of Bumitama Agri Ltd. The concession, next to Tanjung Puting National Park in Kumai District, Central Kalimantan, is habitat for numerous endangered species including orangutans and proboscis monkeys as well as ramin. Greenpeace mapping analysis and field investigations reveal large-scale development in the concession between February and October 2013, including clearance of intact peatland forests inside buffer zones identified on the HCV assessment for the concession.

Deforestation for Palm Oil by Bumitama in Indonesia
Documentation of deforestation in oil palm concessions owned by Bumitama Agri Ltd, a supplier to Singapore-based palm oil trader Wilmar International, which purchases more than half the palm oil it produces. Three company operations are subject to RSPO complaints including destruction of orangutan habitat. In early 2013, it promised to suspend clearance in one concession, but then broke that promise as documented by Greenpeace mapping analysis and investigations.
