Jakarta, 13 December 2019 \u2013 \u201cToo little, too late\u201d said Annisa Rahmawati, Greenpeace Indonesia Senior Forest Campaigner, of the RSPO\u2019s announcement<\/a> it has published members\u2019 oil palm concession maps for Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak in its own online application.[1] <\/sup>
<\/p>\n\n

Pointing to her previous statement released in 2015<\/a>, which remains applicable to the RSPO\u2019s latest announcement,[2] <\/sup>Annisa went on:
<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWhile it\u2019s progress to get some maps published, it\u2019s too little because the data crucially does not include RSPO members\u2019 third party suppliers, which make up much of production. It\u2019s too little because it doesn\u2019t include complete Indonesian data. It\u2019s too little because the RSPO\u2019s definition of group ownership is not sufficient and is poorly implemented. It\u2019s too little because the data isn\u2019t downloadable as shapefile or other geodata format permitting analysis. And it\u2019s five years too late because the RSPO resolved<\/a> to do this in 2013, setting a 2014 deadline for publication.[3]<\/sup>\u201d
<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe only party that deserves a nod is the Malaysian government for lifting its defacto prohibition on publication of concession maps. Indonesia\u2019s highest legal authority, the Supreme Court, ruled in 2017<\/a> that oil palm plantation concession data is public information [4]<\/sup> therefore the RSPO should go ahead and publish a complete set of Indonesian maps immediately,\u201d Annisa said.
