Welcome to Palm Watch – Africa

Palm Watch – Africa is an online media platform focused on new oil palm development in West-Central Africa. Research, reporting and a participatory citizen network will draw attention to the rapid expansion of oil palm investments across the Congo Basin, shining a light on these opaque, largely unreported and potentially destructive deals. Providing in-depth information and multiple opportunities for citizen engagement, Palm Watch – Africa aims to stimulate inclusive debate and foster grassroots strategies for environmental protection and sustainable development.
