Indonesia’s rainforests offer shelter, livelihoods and cultural identity to around 40 million Indonesians, while millions of others have indirect benefits from them. The economic value of the benefits from intact forests to these people is unquantifiable, but likely to total billions of dollars in food, jobs and other cultural benefits. APRIL has a long history of conflicts with indigenous people and local communities. In 1998, the independent auditor SGS stated that over 40,000 hectares of APRIL’s concession area had been claimed by local communities as their traditional land. Even the area where the RAPP factory was built is land claimed by the indigenous people of Delik, Sering and Kerinci villages. Since then, conflicts with local communities have been part of the operational reality of APRIL subsidiaries.
