Illegal clearing of Herakles Farms concession area. Since Herakles 99-year lease was not approved by Presidential Decree, as required by Cameroonian law, this forest clearance by heavy machinery is illegal. Herakles is pushing ahead with its plans for a huge palm oil plantation with complete disregard for Cameroonian law and the opposition of local people, who fear they will lose their farms and their livelihoods to the US-based corporation.
