  • In Sarakoh village in northern Sierra Leone, World Renew works with partner CER. In this region african palm oil is extracted in the traditional way by hand. First the palm oil nuts are harvested from the trees and the nuts removed from the bunches. The nuts are boiled with water in a drum and some of the oil comes to the surface and is skimmed off, then the remaining mixture is put in a pit and workers break the boiled nuts down with their feet, finally the mash is squeezed by hand to extract the last of the oil. A jerrycan of oil is sold on the local market for less than ten dollars.

  • Through the Jordan Valley in the West Bank, large Israeli agricultural projects are run by settlers on illegal Israeli settlements. They produce fruit and vegetables and palm oil for export. These projects are all irrigated. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Palestinian villages in the same area have restricted and inadequate water supplies, and many are prevented from getting connections to the water network. <br />
<br />
in the northern part of the Jordan Valley, Israel has dismantled Palestinian irrigation systems and imposes the most restrictive water regime.

"the community was affected firstly by the flooding, most of it was under 1.5m of water, people lost everything, their kitchens, bedding, domestic animals like pigs and chickens. In agricultural prodution people lost rice, maize, bananas, the basic food for people. The flooding also affected the roads, it cut through 7m deep and 20m wide in one place. It will need a big investment to get us back to where we were. But because we can't get in to the fields because of the roads, we don't know how we'll replant"

  • Santos Alemán, from Yoro, Honduras, at a migrant refuge in Apizaco, Mexico. He worked for 20 years in a palm oil factory but reached retirement age. He can't survive without working and there are so few opportunities in Honduras he decided to migrate in search of employment. Shot at Albergue de migrantes on 07 Jun 2021 by Sean Hawkey.

"In one instance recently, two of our tribal leaders, Dionel Campos and Aurelio Sinzo, were killed in front of all their community in Surigao del Sur, the paramilitaries woke everyone up in the village very early in the morning, going into their houses to get them outside. More than 200 people including children were there, and they executed them in front of everybody. That morning they also killed the director of the agricultural school, one of the Lumad schools there, they slit his throat. This is all linked to coal mining. That same day, while they brought the dead bodies down to the evacuation centre, they did the ground-breaking for coal mining. Everyone from that area evacuated the same day, in fear for their lives.<br />
<br />
67,000 hectares are targeted for coal mining. Ten coal mining companies are applying for concessions to mine. <br />
<br />
The attacks are intensifying. They are closing our Lumad schools, they have already closed 86 of our schools. When we asked the soldiers why, they told us that the orders are coming from Malacañang (the presidential palace).<br />
<br />
If you resist, if you are lucky they can trump up charges against you, or they can just kill you.<br />
<br />
We have only two types of land under Philippine law, private land and public land. There is no provision for ancestral domains, for our collective ownership and land management. This legal inadequacy makes it easy for them to take our land, to sell concessions for logging and mining on our ancestral domains. It is easy for them to force us out legally. They have already given a lot of our land to mining corporations and commodity producers, for palm oil, bananas. They are destroying our beautiful rainforest and mountains, our beautiful people."
