Sudcam, a subsidiary of Singapore rubber firm, Halcyon Agri, is responsible for devastating forest clearance in Cameroon, resulting in dispossession of community lands and other impacts on human rights, a new report has said.
The company has cleared more than 10,000 hectares of dense equatorial forest in the past seven years to set up a rubber plantation in south Cameroon; a project described by the Greenpeace Africa report as “by far the most devastating new clearing for industrial agriculture in the Congo Basin”.
