And we all know they wont stop there...so disheartening!

OF COURSE it will! This area is home to the highly endangered DRILL and other animals. The loggers will be followed by hunters with automatic weapons....who shoot anything that moves and sell it as "bush meat."

You should see Borneo.....DAMN these people!

The assaults on the environment just never seem to stop. Well, we can at least react to each new challenge. Thanks Cal.

It makes no sense at all to cut down beautiful old forest just to plant young trees. How can they even try to claim that this is beneficial to the environment? Not only do massive old growth vegetation deal with carbon more effectively, but old trees roots are very deep. They draw water from way below the surface, whereas young trees draw it from nearer the topsoil and deplete the moisture in the area. The animals that live there are diverse and tragic, they are the very ones we have all been trying to save. Employees will not only hunt bushmeat, but I'm sure that the Asian market will approach them for body parts and offer more money than they make from agriculture. These companies always lie in their assessments. Why do they never farm where the land is already devoid of trees? Then they could honestly say that they are doing some good.

Thank you for the article. Have a look at the next page to read my comment. Destroying forests should be forbidden: people harm animalks, other people and the planet we live on. It is simply irresponsible.

Thanks for the post.

Friday March 16, 2012, 9:24 am
People just feel like they have to d this stuff i guess, but we don't have a reverence for the gifts of nature is beyond me. Don't these people know that cutting down forests means less oxygen ultimately? #SMH

Rainforests are essential to our planet's and all people's survival--plans harming the heart of a rainforest can be the equivalent of clearcutting its entirety and thus require opposition.

thnx for the oosting

Wow, we just met a woman from Cameroon last night at an Obama film screening, and she was telling us all about this. So much we don't know, but I guess that just by keeping our eyes, ears, hearts and minds open, we learn what we need to learn.

I hope Herakles farm gets shut down for misleading, misrepresenting and disobeying the Cameroonian law. They have been warned and continue to destroy the forests. It is a terrible situation for Cameroon's wildlife, with little habitat left.

I read the ingredients on some "Girl Scout" cookies the other day...Samoas, they were called. While I did not see eggs listed as an ingredient, I noticed PALM OIL! We must stop deforestation for cattle and domestic animal grazing, GMO anything, Palm, toilet paper pulp, etc. We already have enough cleared land globally to feed all with organic grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, delicacies made form these ingredients...(seaweed, too) using far less water, land, polluting FAR less, and causing NO PAIN and SUFFERING to life. LET'S CREATE GOOD KARMA FOR A CHANGE.

Friday March 16, 2012, 4:00 pm
Do not let this happen.

Friday March 16, 2012, 4:24 pm
Thanks Cal. So many of we human consumers are consuming, driving markets that hurt the whole earth.

Friday March 16, 2012, 5:06 pm
thanks for posting this Cal, it would be a shame to loose this rain forest

Please supply us with a petition so we can help!

Yes Cecille D great idea hope it has not gone too far we can but try so disheartening
Thanks Cal

Humanity needs to live sustanably with nature. We need to reduce the pressure on nature, by restraining our numbers and per capita demands. Unfortunately the economic system appears to be addicted to growth - growth which the planet can no longer sustain.

Friday March 16, 2012, 8:01 pm
WE NEED MASSIVE PETITIONS MY FRIENDS!!...PLEASE & THANKYOU!!

I learned more about this recently. Open areas in the midst of old growth provides for the invasion of pests that thrive in heat and sunlight. They start at the edges and work their way in through the forest. Normally resistant trees succumb more readily because they are weakened by moisture loss.

absurd claims..very sad..how can this be stopped?

Sunday March 18, 2012, 6:10 am
its shameful plunder of the earth just to fulfill unreasonable demands for oil when other alternative can be easily explored. Future generations will not entirely blame the Big fat profit monger corporations and brainless policy makers but the senseless consumers= Us! they will blame all of us for not stopping this

Heartbreaking!!! Why do we need Palm Oil in the first place??? Don't we have oils enough? The human being can't be very intelligent, since we are destroying our own habitat! Thanks Cal for sharing
