- Open letter to the Gabonese government authorities - September 2012. As many countries in Africa, Gabon is facing an alarming rate of expansion of oil palm and rubber plantations. The government has given the Singapore based company Olam 300,000 hectares of land to establish monoculture tree plantations. Local communities have not been consulted about the process and have urged the government to respect their land rights. Communities sent a letter to the government in which they raised their concerns. Communities’ demands need international support!. Also available in French, Portuguese and Spanish
