Green Desert: Communities in Tanintharyi Renounce the MSPP Oil Palm Concession 2016

This report argues that the Myanmar Stark Prestige Plantation (MSPP) case highlights the environmental and social risks of oil palm expansion in Myanmar and advocates that the Government of Myanmar not only resolve disputes around MSPP, but also address the entire oil palm sector. This report also demonstrates the high risks of large-scale investment in conflict areas, where administration is mixed between the Union level Government and ethnic armed organizations, and governance is very weak.
