NO CHIP MILL WITHOUT WOOD
DTE's new in-depth report on pulp and chip mill developments in Kalimantan can
be downloaded from http://dte.gn.apc.org/cskal06.pdf
An Indonesian version of the report is available at
http://dte.gn.apc.org/ciskal06.pdf.
We can send either version as an email attachment (around 1MB in size), upon
request.
'No Chip Mill Without Wood' shows how the development of a wood chip and a
paper pulp plant threatens forests and people's livelihoods in South
Kalimantan.
The Singapore-based construction company, United Fibre System (UFS), is driving
the wood chip and paper pulp projects, backed by equipment suppliers and banks
in Europe. The World Bank's export credit agency, MIGA may also be involved.
The report, 'No Chip Mill Without Wood', centres on a study of the wood chip
plant under construction on the island of Pulau Laut in South Kalimantan. This
project is associated with a number of environmental and social problems that
have, so far, been largely ignored by the relevant authorities. The wood chips
will be exported to supply China's burgeoning paper industry.
UFS is also pushing to build a paper pulp mill on the South Kalimantan
mainland. In addition, the same company now runs the Kiani Kertas paper pulp
factory in East Kalimantan, first set up by notorious timber baron 'Bob' Hasan.
Down to Earth concludes that these projects are completely unsustainable. UFS'
inability to provide data on the potential source of timber supplies for these
three ventures indicates the likelihood that natural forests in South
Kalimantan and further afield will be destroyed - legally or illegally - to
meet their needs.
The report concludes that there should be no investment in or permits for UFS'
wood chip and pulp mills until an independent review has shown the
sustainability of timber supplies for all UFS' developments.
Printed copies are also available in both language. A limited number of free
copies are available upon request to civil society organisations.
