In Cameroon, 60,000 hectares of rainforest are to be cleared for a palm oil plantation. Kenya, Liberia, the Ivory Coast and other African countries have already given large areas of their rainforests up to palm oil plantations. The Blackstone Group now wishes to cultivate palm oil in Cameroon as well. As a result of this project, one of the oldest rainforests on the planet could be destroyed forever. The palm oil will primarily be produced for European industry.One of the oldest rainforests could be destroyed forever.
In Southwest Cameroon, one of the oldest and most bio-diverse rainforests on the planet is facing destruction. The area planted for logging directly borders the Korup National Park and the Rumpi Hills forest reserve.This forest is a hotspot for a great variety of species, 25 per cent of all African primate species can be found here, among them chimpanzees and the very rare Drills. As well, 45,000 people will lose their land and with it their livelihood, due to the creation of the palm oil plantation.
Investors are interested in Africa for a number of reasons. Due to the increasing global demand for palm oil, new plantation areas are always needed. Africa has the right climate for palm oil and is reliant on financial aid. The investors know how to use this.One of these investors is the Blackstone Group. It belongs to the largest financial investor in the world and owns shares in DEUTSCHE Telekom and the SE Alliance among others, as well as in a multi-million property portfolio of the Deutsche Bank.
Blackstone now wishes to share in the profits of the global palm oil boom. The energy company Sithe Global, which is owned 100 percent by Blackstone, wants to plant 60,000 hectares of palm oil trees in Cameroon.A clever advertising campaign is ensuring the acceptance of this project worldwide. The Managing Director of Sithe Global, Bruce Wrobel, founded the organisation “All for Africa”. Under this name, he is collecting donations in order to plant one million trees, which are supposed to create a “sustainable benefit for the whole of Africa”.What the donors are not told however, is that the ‘trees’ are palm oil trees, and that in order to plant themrain forestt must first be destroyed and families thrown off their land.
The palm oil plantations planned by Blackstone would destroy a unique rain forest, which is part of one of the oldest forests on the planet. Numerous species would lose their habitat forever and thousands of people their land.
Campaign to stop the palm oil plantation in Africa
Naturefund, together with the SAVE Wildlife Conservation Fund, Rainforest Rescue and many other organisations, are campaigning to stop the creation of the palm oil plantation in Africa. An open letter was sent to the Blackstone Group as well as to the Director of Sithe Global, Bruce Wrobel. The letter was also published online.People should know what Blackstone is planning in Cameroon. Pressure should be put on the group in order to get them to distance themselves from the project. Naturefund is primarily interested in speaking with the investors, in order to work together to find new alternatives. So far neither Blackstone nor Sithe Global has responded. Anyone who wishes to take part in the protest campaign can also do so here by signing and sending the letter to Blackstone and Wrobel. You can also plant a tree in a rainforest.

I would say go over there and buy it and put a fence and put up some no trespassing signs.
What evidence is there that this could ever be a reality? The state grows as large as it can afford to be at any given time. The constitution isn’t magic and it cannot stop a bullet. Throughout history states rise and inevitably collapse because the initiation of violence is no basis for a civil society and can’t solve social problems in the long run. Perhaps libertarians should focus their efforts on a more sustainable alternative and quit begging their masters to relinquish their power because it will never happen. At this point too many voters have their livelihoods directly or indirectly supported by the state for there ever to be a ground swell of support for limited government.
Exactly. I think some of you misinterpreted the question. I think he is asking why anyone would trust the government to limit its own power.
For the government, the constitution is only the starting-point as it gains more power, and as it interprets that constitution. For the rest of us, the Bill of Rights and the reconstruction amendments could be a starting point, but they shouldn’t stop us seeking more freedom than they cover. I think any liberation movement has to begin at home and in daily life. If it is strong enough to succeed there, it can change things in government too.
I don’t think any liberation movement can get much from running for office; it just ends up legitimizing the offices, the major parties, and so on.

Meratus Mountain Area, Kalimantan, Indonesia
The Dayak Meratus communities have created co-operatives that protect local resources and develop business institutions. The communities use non-timber forest products such as rubber to generate sustainable livelihoods. However, the encroachment of private businesses on the local forestland for large scale oil palm plantations, mining and forest concessions threaten their way of life and have forced them to respond.
