The conversion of forest into oil palm plantations, with the goal of bringing in foreign exchange and increasing people's welfare, has serious environmental implications. Forests have been ravaged -- an irreversible environmental disaster -- with no guarantee that oil palm plantations will immediately be in place.

This problem has occurred in Papua's Boven Digoel, due mainly to the business owner's greed and the government's loose regulations. The so-called oil palm plantation owned by Malaysia's Menara Group in Boven Digoel is one example of an environmental tragedy caused by these shabby regulations. Until this day, since it has received its forest clearing license IPKH in 2011-2013, Menara has yet to plant oil palm, and has reneged on their promise to build infrastructure in that regency. Even worse: Menara has resold its license to other corporations. Seven Menara subsidiaries held IPKH licenses for a total area of 280,000 hectares in Boven Digoel forests.
