The scandalous Kiunga Aiambak project is one of five logging industry
case studies exposed in the Corporate Crimes report launched in
Johannesburg this week.
“A Malaysian-owned logging company, Concord Pacific is – in theory – building a road between the small township of Kiunga and the village of Aiambak in the country’s remote Western Province,” explains the report. “In practice, the company has illegally extracted millions of dollars worth of timber from the region’s rainforests: seven years on more than 179 km of forest have been cleared but there is not – and never has been – a functional highway.”
At the Earth Summit, Greenpeace is urging recently elected Prime Minister, Sir Michael Somare, to fix this international embarrassment early in his term.
Through Corporate Crimes , Greenpeace also urges governments at the Earth Summit to commit to an international agreement on corporate accountability and liability to stem corporate environmental abuses.
Greenpeace will deliver a copy of Corporate Crimes, and the message that the world is still watching, to the Papua New Guinea delegation as the Earth Summit continues next week.
